When your skill and talent are seemingly useless due to a series of unfortunate events, thus restricting you from winning or progressing.
Robert's friend was banned in CS:GO (a videogame) and the game demoted Robert to a lower division. Robert now struggles in the lower division due to an unlucky number of terrible teammates, and his skill is unrecognized. Robert's mastery paradox is haunting Robert, for fear that promotion to his true rank will take longer than expected, or worse, may never happen.

The Ms. Plato paradox is whenever you have a teacher who gives you a bunch of work, decides BEFOREHAND not to grade any of it, but complains to her students and teacher friends about having a bunch of work to grade.
Dude our english teacher just gave us a bunch of assignments that aren't for a grade, but she's complaining about having a bunch of work to grade, i think she's stuck in the Ms. Plato Paradox.
If you ask Rick Astley for a copy of 2009's "Up" but he doesn't give it to you because he will never give you up.
But by not doing so, he lets you down, and breaks his second rule.
He has to either give you up, or let you down, which rule will he break?
Guy#1: I asked Rick Astley for "Up" but he didn't give it to me.
Guy#2: So he caused the Rick Astley Paradox!
Guy#3: At least he didn't say goodbye.

Explained from DC's Legends of Tomorrow Season 4, Episode 3 when John Constantine tried to Ball-Kick his father in 1977, Ball-kick Paradox is the rule of temporal travel where you can't Kick your ancestor's balls or do anything that will directly or indirectly remove your existence from the timeline as that would mean you won't exist in the future which will then mean you never averted your birth in the first place. This in effect restrains you from doing anything that would erase yourself and will be teleported into the last place you were in before you tried to do such thing
Guy 1: hey why did Constantine teleport is that his magic?
Guy 2: Nope, that's Ball-kick paradox. Instead of looping his existence back and forth the timeline just decided to prevent him from doing that
Guy 1: he tried to sterilize his dad to kill him? Extremely chaotic way to commit not alive lol

Try this scenario: Girl 1 is born at 1:30 am in Paris, France on January 2nd. So on every document her birthday is listed as January 2nd.
Exactly one minute later, Girl 2 is born in Boston. In Boston it is 6:31 pm on January 1st. So Girl 2's documents all list her as being born on January 1st, while Girl 1 is listed as born on January 2nd, even though she (1) is older.
Girl 1 and Girl 2 meet up in Los Angeles on January 1st and decide to make a lesbian porn the minute they are both 18. So on January 1st at 3:32 Pm West Coast Time (6:32 PM Boston Time, 1:32 am Paris Time) the cameras start rolling and they get to some hot lesbian action.
Since they are in California, where it is the evening of January 1st, Girl 1 is considered 17, since her documents list her birthday as January 2nd (Though she is exactly 18 years and 2 minutes old). Girl 2 is considered 18, since her documents list her as being born on January 1st.
If the girls make 3 copies of this tape and hand the first copy to Friend A in LA, mail the 2nd copy to Friend B in Boston, and e-mail 3rd copy to Friend C in Paris. Are any of these copies not child porn?
Here about that Lesbian Porn Paradox? Not sure if it was really child porn.

Intense hysteria about a social or political problem that, instead of solving or reducing the problem, actually makes it worse.
The intense xenophobia behind the Trump Administration's efforts to stop migrants from Central America from entering the U.S. have actually increased the number of asylum seekers many times over from during the Obama Administration. It's an example of a "moral panic paradox" -- people are afraid the asylum laws will change so they need to immigrate now before that happens. Another moral panic paradox happens when gun-control advocates seek limits on the sale of assault rifles after a mass shooting. The result is increased sales of assault rifles because people feel they need to buy them now before the laws change.
When playing a video game that uses checkpoints instead of normal saves, you pass the check point before a boss or tough group of monsters, with your character's health less than 25%. The monsters promptly destroy your character making you re-spawn at the last check point with still minimal health and no way to turn back without starting a new save or finding a glitch. This happens to many gamers and causes frustration about the inability to advance further into the storyline.
(guy 1) Yo can I borrow your gameboy to play some Final Fantasy?
(guy 2) Naw I'm stuck in The Check Point Paradox!
