The Pinocchio Syndrome

What is the pinocchio syndrome?

There are two ways of describing the pinocchio syndrome

• It’s the fear of being laughed at, i.e., a kind of social retreat to prevent public ridicule. Due to specific movement patterns among these individuals, it is called Pinocchio syndrome when they felt they were laughing at awkward, wooden gestures that resembled those of wooden puppets.
• The second explanation is very similar to the tale and the drama. This happens when the person lies. Some claim it’s because of the rush of blood to the nose when lying, causing the nose to itch. The man, therefore, scratches the nose, showing that it is a lie. This is accompanied by unusual fidgeting, dry lips, clenched fingers, deep breaths and fear of looking into the eye on an ongoing basis.

Why this syndrome is known as the pinocchio syndrome?

Owing to the gestures individuals make when in public, this condition has the nickname “Pinocchio Syndrome”. They appear to make gestures that a wooden puppet makes that are very awkward, wooden like.
