People like to stand out from the crowd. Be unique and act differently. And it’s well and fine when you’re a teenager still building your personality and finding what you like and don’t like. But this struggle to not be like others to get attention gets stale really quickly when you’re an adult. You realize that the ‘not like other people’ phase is just that – a phase, and it seems pretty cringy in real life.

The I’m The Main Character community gives a pretty healthy dose of shaming to those guilty of constantly wanting to be the center of attention. It’s a subreddit with over 1.3 million members who like to roast self-absorbed people. I mean, if they were foolish enough to post their main character syndrome behavior, they need to be able to take the ridicule, right?

Bored Panda also reached out to Alexander Danvers, Ph.D., a social psychologist and Director of Treatment Outcomes at Sierra Tucson, who researches emotions and social interactions.

We asked him how professionals would describe 'Main Character Syndrome,' why some people act this way, and whether we all have some of that main character energy in us. After all, we're all the main characters of our lives, aren't we?

The popularity of the I'm The Main Character subreddit is a testament to how people detest those who publicly act like they're at the center of the world. The community also has one condition for its posts: they have to feature "deliberate attention-seeking behavior, entitlement, or individuals thinking they are more privileged than anyone else."

The subreddit is also against discrimination, harassment, racism, misogyny, bigotry, or personal attacks. Even if the main characters featured on the subreddit are extremely rude, the rules ask members not to harass them on their social media. The same goes for discussions among members: "There is always a real human with emotions behind the screen," the group cites Reddiquette.

To learn more about 'Main Character Syndrome' from a psychology professional's perspective, we reached out to Dr. Alex Danvers. Because the term gets thrown around online quite frequently, we were curious to know whether psychologists and mental health experts characterize it as a medical diagnosis.

ADVERTISEMENT

"'Main Character Syndrome' isn't a medical diagnosis," Danvers tells us. "It's a pop culture term, which means it has a looser definition, and people can use it in different ways. Typically, I see it used to mean that someone sees their life as a story—a TV drama or a romantic comedy—and puts themselves in the starring role."

Dr. Danvers says that such a mindset can change the way a person thinks. Sometimes in big ways, sometimes in small ways. "At the problematic end, it can make the person too focused on themselves, always trying to shift conversations and social situations to center around the drama of their personal story."

ADVERTISEMENT

"This can cause someone to overlook other people’s thoughts or feelings, treating them as supporting characters. That can feel, to friends, like a lack of empathy or rudeness."

"But it can also lead to behaviors that are pretty common and less problematic," Danvers continues. "Like trying to present yourself as positively as possible or focusing on documenting your life on social media over engaging in the moment."

Danvers also notes that people engaging in narcissistic and entitled behavior might be masking other feelings, like feeling insecure or like they're not in control. "If someone is giving big main character energy, there's probably something deeper going on, and there are likely aspects of their life they aren't happy with," the social psychologist explains.

In recent years, there has been much discussion about how people do not know how to act in public spaces anymore. Concertgoers keep throwing things at celebrities during concerts, and kids are destroying testers and being mean to Sephora employees. Did we forget how to act when we're not at home?

"The pandemic made a lot of people feel more anxious and less connected," Alex Danvers says. Since unhappiness and anxiety in daily life can lead to narcissistic behavior, he agrees that the pandemic and social media play a role in how we conduct ourselves in public spaces.

If that's all cake - the thought of cutting it up is pretty cringe. At some point you have to cut off her head. Someone with a few drinks in them is going to make a lame joke about "I'll have a piece of that a...ss" and so on. I can't think of a graceful way to cut up a cake that looks like a human being.

"Depending on the way you use social media, it can be very anxiety-provoking," Danvers observes. "People do a lot of self-comparison there and can find themselves wanting. Becoming the main character of the story of your life is a way of using fantasy to cope with a harsh world."

"Right now, the world feels very uncertain and potentially dangerous to a lot of people," Dr. Danvers invites us to sympathize with the main characters. "There are wars, political instability, concerns about disease, and concerns about harms from climate change. These are real things that produce real anxiety, and in daily life, it often feels like we as individuals can't take action to meaningfully improve things."

I knew of a family where both parents had been diagnosed with Huntingtons and they decided in their wisdom to have children before they died. So 2 children, both tested positive for Huntingtons and by the time they reached their teens the mom had passed away from it and their dad did a couple of years later. Daughter decided she wasn't going to put any child of hers through it and got her tubes tied because she saw what happened to her parents and knew that it would happen to her. She died 2 years ago of it. The son on the other hand didn't care, 3 baby mamma's, didn't tell them about the Huntingtons beforehand and it wasn't until the sister began declining rapidly and his started manifesting. All 3 tested positive for the gene. Not sure what happened after that because he stopped being active on social media.

Because... You won't have any money to spend on your alcohol or cigarettes if your child is born with disabilities just because YOU did not give them a chance of being born without them. You'll have numerous extra costs on top of the usual cost of raising a child... And don't even bring Ableism into this. It dilutes the message and label of that word.

Not only treatment costs but the constant being pulled out of work to pick your kid up from school, work day meetings with the school, speech and developmental therapists, psychologists, counsellors. The risk of becoming unemployed from having all that work time missed. Strain on the extended family needing to consider extra accommodations and learning how to manage around a disabled child. It doesn't even have to be a severe disability. Sure you can get some government tax credits and carers income but that is not sufficient to live on.

Being a parent is already a heavy burden in terms of commitment, responsibility, and finances. You worry about them when they are teens and adults. A child, who is a future adult, with disabilities is someone who will always need more effort, more time, more financial help. Some people are cut out for this, others are not. Ms. seems seriously misguieded.

This is what I think, too, and it's been going on for a long time. Doesn't matter if where you are has legal abortions or not. The mentality has become that an unborn child is not human and deemed an unwanted, leeching parasite that has no autonomy rights to live and thrive until out of the womb. (For some people, when the baby is born the cord is cut.) No matter anyone's stance, expecting a child is not a time to be selfish and reckless.

I could live with the fart of bad Mexican food. Heck, I can't remember one instance I've had to take out my Ventolin due to pungent pit sweat. But I fear for my lack of ability to breath when someone smokes in my vicinity, and the amount of times a smoker is offended when I move or ask them to move away is astounding.

Danvers says that people's self-absorbed behavior can become a way to deal with those problems. "That's when fantasy can come in as a protective measure—you might want to imagine that you're the hero in a scripted story because things always work out for them. What becomes important is the drama and learning the life lesson that the 'episode' was meant to teach."

That said, Dr. Danvers cautions against losing yourself in that kind of fantasy. "Of course, life doesn't come in episodes with conflicts that neatly resolve themselves, and this worldview can mess up people's real relationships with their real friends and family."

The term 'Main Character Syndrome' is weird in a way. Because, when you think about it, aren't we all the main characters of our story? "In a general sense, we are the main characters of our lives," Danvers somewhat agrees. "Like a novel written from the first-person perspective, we can only really know our own thoughts and experience our own lives."

But those with 'Main Character Syndrome' wish to be main characters not just in their lives.

"They think of someone who is acting like social situations should be all about them, and a world where they are important to everyone around them."

On the other hand, Dr. Danvers also says that thinking of yourself as a main character can certainly be empowering. "If you see yourself as important, you might be more willing to take good care of yourself and treat your values as important. That can be a positive change, especially for people who might otherwise feel depressed."

"The key is balancing a healthy confidence in yourself against the need to be aware of how much space you're taking up and making sure you leave room for others in your story."

"Or I escape just in time through a crease and swim up quickly." A perfect example of why schools need to teach critical thinking skills. Water pressure strong enough to crunch a submarine will certainly tenderize his majestic smugness. The Titan submarine was approximately 9000 ft/3000m down, approaching 300 times air pressure at sea level.

If this is real, I wonder what airlines. Most clearly state in their terms the size of their seats and that if you need two seats you buy two tickets.

They glare because you are blocking the aisle and probably preaching to people about your supposed superiority after you left those fake Christian dollars at Denny's as a tip. That smug smile doesn't help much either. P.S. That's one ugly dress.

Funny there's so many spaces this type of men don't invade, such as Stroke Clubs or over 60s dinners, but are up in arms at being kept out of a woman only space. I just can't think why . . . .

Something doesn't add up here. ATMs usually need different kind of electric socket. They also require extra security to prevent it to be stolen or manipulated in any way. It's either the worst installed ATM in the world or simply BS.
