Main Character
/meɪn ˈkærəktər/noun
The behavior or belief that one's own life is a story where they are the protagonist and everyone else is a supporting character. "Main character energy" can be positive (living boldly and authentically) or ironic/negative (being oblivious to others' needs because you're too focused on your own narrative arc).
“She walked into the office wearing a cape — pure main character energy.”
Main Character Syndrome
/meɪn ˈkærəktər ˈsɪndrəm/noun
A psychological tendency to view oneself as the protagonist of life's story, interpreting all events as revolving around you and expecting others to play supporting roles. While having "main character energy" can be positive and self-confident, main character syndrome describes the negative extreme — obliviousness to others' equal importance.
“She narrated every mundane moment of her commute to strangers — severe main character syndrome.”
