Disney Syndrome takes its name from, you guessed it, Disney. It covers the range of beliefs children have been taught from Disney movies. These children grow up believing these movies to be right and are often disillusioned in adulthood even when shown evidence that life isn't a Disney cartoon.
For example, the idea that little girls will find the knight in shining armour to sweep them off their feet (ie, that perfection in a partner exists), or the belief that wild animals are all cuddly and nice (ie, that bears won't maul you for petting their cub), or that someone will take care of things for them when they are at their lowest are all symptoms of Disney Syndrome
My little girl is hoping a handsome, intelligent and rich man will marry her and live in their castle... I don't have the heart to tell her she suffers from Disney Syndrome.

Unlike Stockholm syndrome, where hostages develop sympathy for their abductor, Lima syndrome is the result of the abductor / kidnapper sympathizing with his hostages.
Occurred in the Japanese Embassy hostage crisis of 1996, when members of a militant movement took hostage hundreds of people attending a party in the official residence of Japan's ambassador to Peru. Within a few days, they set free most of the hostages, including the most valuable ones.
In The World is Not Enough, James Bond thinks Electra King (Sophie Marceau) has Stockholm Syndrome for her kidnapper / lover Renard (Robert Carlyle). However, it turns out that Renard really had Lima Syndrome, and loved Electra deeply.

LTG syndrome, also known as Low Tier God syndrome, is a very common occurrence in the FGC. It is the act of calling a better player than you, worse, even though you lost to them.
Low Tier God: This man sucks!
Player: I still beat you, which means you are worse?
Low Tier God: Get that ass banned
Player: LTG syndrome I guess

When a person has been in IKEA so long the items there actually start to look good.
Dude, I think you have Stockholm Syndrome. You've been staring at that Fillsta for an hour.

This type of communication typically comes from individuals who are in the habit of making excuses for their actions. They know that they have a commitment they haven’t met, and, instead of facing the music, they choose to say “I’m sorry” to skirt the issue.
Examples
If you’ve not understood something.
If you brush against someone.
When you’re trying to settle an argument.
When you’re aware that you know better, but you would rather humour the opposite person.
When you are trying to be assertive about a situation.
When you know you have done something because there was a need for it.
When you know you are better educated than someone you are talking to.
Quotes
“I’m sorry I didn’t show up on time.”
“I’m sorry I didn’t call.”
“I’m sorry I didn’t get that done.”
“I’m sorry I didn’t clean my room.”
“I’m sorry I didn’t do my homework.”
“I’m sorry I wasn’t home on time.”
This boy or girl says sorry unconsciouly just like saying hello or good-bye, sorry, In fact, non-apologetic phrases like ‘excuse-me’ and even ‘please’ are being replaced by ‘sorry’. I thnk he/she has the case of the Sorry Syndrome
