What is the Cassandra Effect?

Answer 1

The Cassandra Effect (or Syndrome or Metaphor) has its roots in Greek mythology. Cassandra was the daughter of the king of Troy, and the god Apollo gave her the ability of prophecy. She, however, angered the god, and he turned her gift into a curse—she could see the future, but no one would believe her. Subsequently, when she tried to warn the Trojans not to accept the mysterious giant horse left outside their gates, they didn't listen, which, of course, had disastrous consequences.

So Cassandra's myth is invoked in the present day whenever someone made a prediction that turned out to be correct, but no one believed them. It's also sometimes used in psychology to describe the feelings of people whose accounts of distressing events aren't believed.

Answer 2

The Cassandra effect is when one believes they know the future happening of a catastrophic event, having already seen it in some way, or even experienced it first hand. However the person knows there is nothing that can be done to stop the event from happening, and that nobody will believe them if they try to tell others. I myself have this feeling often.

Answer 3

Oh honey, let me tell you about the Cassandra Effect. It's when someone predicts a disaster, but nobody believes them until it's too late. It's like shouting "fire" in a crowded theater and everyone just rolls their eyes until they see the flames. So, basically, it's a fancy term for not listening to the one person who actually knows what's up.

Answer 4

Ah, the Cassandra Effect is when someone gives a warning or prediction, but no one believes them until it's too late. It's like having a feeling in your heart that something isn't right, but others can't see it yet. Remember, it's important to trust your intuition and speak up, even if others may not understand right away.

Answer 5

The Cassandra Effect refers to a situation in which valid warnings or concerns are dismissed or ignored. It is derived from the story of Cassandra in Greek mythology, who was given the gift of prophecy but cursed so that no one would believe her predictions.

Answer 6

The Cassandra metaphor occurs to one, when one's valid warnings or concerns are disbelieved by others. The term originates in Greek mythology. Cassandra was a daughter of Priam, the King of Troy.

Answer 7

The Cassandra phenomenon depicts a state of confusion, self-doubt, and inner turmoil that is all too familiar among neurotypical people who, when describing their experiences with an adult on the spectrum, are doubted, discounted, ignored, even rejected by friends, family members, and sometimes professionals who disbelieve their account.
