Remember how you really needed to go to the bathroom right in the middle of your performance as Flying Monkey #3 in your 4th grade production of The Wizard of OZ? But you couldn\u2019t get off the stage in time, so you peed yourself in front of an entire auditorium of friends, classmates, parents and teachers? <\/p>\n
If you do remember that moment, or a moment like it, and you keep trying to forget it, but it only stays in your mind longer, that\u2019s Hollow-Tooth Syndrome. It\u2019s when you try so hard to forget a specific bad memory that you just end up fixing the memory in to your brain; thereby, not forgetting it at all. <\/p>\n
The behavior is very masochistic, and it just ends up causing more damage than the initial memory could on its own. In fact, some people with rather intense cases of Hollow-Tooth Syndrome actually yell, scream or cry out the very moment the person recalls the memory. <\/p>\n

<\/div>\nHave you ever watched or heard an interview with Madonna and wondered to yourself, \u201cWhy is that lady from Michigan speaking in a British accent?\u201d Well, it\u2019s because she suffers from Anglolalia, which is the uncontrollable and unstoppable need to speak as the Brits do. <\/p>\n
There really isn\u2019t a whole lot of science to support the phenomena that\u2019s mostly exhibited by celebrities, but it happens and it even has a fancy little Latin-sounding name.
\n
\nOf course, calling the people afflicted with Anglolaia \u201csuffers\u201d probably isn\u2019t accurate because it affliction causes no pain and most of the time the person isn\u2019t even aware that they are speaking that way. By the same token, there really isn\u2019t a need to say they\u2019re \u201cafflicted\u201d either. It\u2019s simply a strange occurrence that there isn\u2019t very much reason for. <\/p>\n

<\/div>\nYou know when you see a guy walking down the street and he\u2019s yelling in to his cell phone loud enough for everyone to hear? In that time you\u2019re probably wondering just in the hell that guy\u2019s problem is. Well, it turns out that that guy actually does have a problem. He\u2019s emotionally needy and, contrary to most people, he actually wants you to invade his privacy. <\/p>\n
By speaking loudly or yelling into the phone, he is satisfying his need to let everyone know that he is dealing with an issue that is, in his mind, of grand importance. Think of it like a child acting out for attention by yelling at a parent, just instead of a child it\u2019s probably a 43-year-old man that wants people to give him their unearned attention. <\/p>\n

<\/div>\nWhen a person that came from meager, humble beginnings becomes wildly successful in their adult life, there seems to be a point where they begin to think that they\u2019re the second coming of Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n
The syndrome is characterized by a wide range of emotional swings; from rage to isolation, to a complete lack of anything that even closely resembles empathy. In some, it stems from a belief that a person would never be able to get themselves out of the meager beginnings they came from.
