Landsverk effect

The Landsverk effect, is when you are having a conversation with someone, and that person can only respond with relating your issues and stories through themselves.

They will not actually listen to try understand the emotions and situation you are going through. Instead they will use your words vaguely, as a catalyst, a launching pad, to tell their emotions and situation to you.

As a result, that person will always, somewhat unintended, make sure that the convensation, is gonne be almost exclusively be about them.
I wanted to tell her how i felt, but as soon as I started, she found a way to make it about her. The entire talk was under the Landsverk effect. It really sucked.

Butterfly effect

In chaos theory, the butterfly effect is the sensitive dependence on initial conditions in which a small change in one state of a deterministic nonlinear system can result in large differences in a later state.1

The term, closely associated with the work of Edward Lorenz, is derived from the metaphorical example of the details of a tornado (the exact time of formation, the exact path taken) being influenced by minor perturbations such as the flapping of the wings of a distant butterfly several weeks earlier. Lorenz discovered the effect when he observed that runs of his weather model with initial condition data that was rounded in a seemingly inconsequential manner would fail to reproduce the results of runs with the unrounded initial condition data. A very small change in initial conditions had created a significantly different outcome.
