- carlosjobim 1y agoStockholm syndrome in everyday speech means that victims many times take the side of their abusers and defend them and their actions when a third party wants to help them. And this is extremely prevalent, most people have seen this behaviour many times in real life. In the case of the Stockholm hostage situation, it's not just a situation where a hostage is doing what she's told to in order to survive. Anybody who is interested can find tons of footage, documentaries, interviews.
