It always piqued my interest that psychological phenomena occurs in our day to day lives. I've decided to compile a few useful ones and pair them with a quote that goes well with it. Here goes:
1a. The Placebo Effect: A person's body can be tricked by their brain to healing itself with dummy prescriptions.
1b. The Nocebo Effect: A person's body can be tricked by their brain to harm itself when the mind expects it.

5. Online Disinhibition Effect: The lack of restraint one feels when communicating online, in comparison to communicating in real life.
"On the internet you can be anything you want. It's strange that so many people choose to be stupid."
