What is main character syndrome?

Main character syndrome is a term that has become popular on social media, especially on Tik Tok and is used to describe people who are self-promotional and self-centered who believe they are the main stars while other people are extras and coadjuvants.

Signs of Main Character Syndrome: Do You Have It?

Only your work is heavy

You feel that only your work is heavy and that other people's lives and jobs are easier than yours.

You live in an alternate reality

This sign is particularly valid for social networks, because it is there that it is possible to take refuge when things are not easy in real life. So if you pretend to be someone else on your social media, chances are you have main character syndrome.

Create stories that depend on an audience's approval

Have you started creating narratives and feel like you need approval for them? This is a typical sign that you want to draw all the attention to yourself.

Only you have worries in life

If you feel that your worries are the biggest, or that only you have worries in life, know that this is a clear sign of the main character syndrome.

Only you are capable of generating results

You think that only your work is capable of generating satisfactory results and worse, you demonstrate this to the people around you.

You think that everyone is always available to help you

Basically it's as if other people don't have their own lives to take care of and therefore they must be available to you at all times.

So, did you recognize any signs in yourself? Although there is no "diagnosis" for this syndrome, it is very important to start therapy, given that this type of "syndrome" can directly affect your social life.
