I feel like I can relate a lot to your story. Unfortunately though I burned out hard and just fell off the face of the planet from my old friends. Just stopped talking to all of them and fell into a d…
Friend said something that shocked me and explained everything... — Edit: added an extra story to the bottom since this post seemed to resonate with people so much. Be strong folks, you're no one's NPC. You can go back and find a lot of my story on my page, but essen…
Comically anti AM agenda in the 2025 series Alien : Earth — The show is so bad that Im not even mad. Imagine. Weland-Yutani is a half Japanese megacorp but there is not a single AM in sight in the entire series. The company is run by AF. Wait, actually there…
The most important part of EVERYONE IS YOU PUSHED OUT (EIYPO) — I think that what I will say in the following lines has to be reminded as much as possible in the manifesting exes and partners communities. Manifesting a person is not only easy, it is effortle…
I think I’ve messed up my habits so badly that I don’t know how to function in a relationship — Hey everyone, This is a bit embarrassing to admit, but I want to be honest because I actually want to change. I’m a pretty insecure guy, and over time I’ve kind of fallen into a lifestyle where I sp…
Life is my movie & I’m the Director. — I manifested 2 SPs at the same time in 24 hours. I decided to rewrite my story when I realized SP1 manifested me! All the intrusive thoughts that didn’t always feel like my own & unfavorable circumsta…
Read this if you're miserable and want your ex back. — # Your ex won't come back until you've COMPLETELY let go of them. ...and it's not gonna take 30 days of No Contact. I wish it was that simple. Let me explain how I've come to this conclusion while …
Has anyone else as a young kid assumed possible sexual intent from parental affection? — For no reason, they never did anything slightly possibly related to that, but I remember as a young kid having in my mind that my parents might be pedophiles. I remember using that exact word in my th…
How do I stop being an alien? — All my life, I have felt alien around other people. I am fairly certain of the reason why, as I have been diagnosed with autism for the majority of my lifespan. I have always watched movies where the…
Crushing on a guy I only know through eye contact… what do I do 😭 — Okay this might sound a little delusional but I need advice 😭 So there’s this guy who works at a medical store really close to my apartment, and I’ve developed the biggest crush on him. Like it’s ac…
Life is a play and you’re the main character — Neville, and all of the great teachers, have said something to the effect of “Life is a play and all in it are players”. I have learned that this is true. Physical reality is a play we have put on a…
The "villain" — Tonight… if the biggest problem in your life is turning me into the villain in a story you created… SO BE IT. If you need to convince yourself that you’re the victim… while ignoring everything y…
Anyone else exhausted by being the POLITE ONE in an increasingly inconsiderate world? — I am starting to feel like a relic because i still care about basic etiquette.....i am the one who waits for people to exit the elevator before getting on, the one who keeps my voice down in public, &…
I love watching road to rodanthe and crying my heart out. It’s so therapeutic. No one knows my pain I’ve felt like my last relationship, like the main character in that movie. It’s so validating to me…
As someone who is currently quitting smoking and has had partners worry/stress about it in the past, the biggest place that I see this go wrong is that partners focus on the *act* of smoking and mista…
I am beyond tired of the proudly anxious. It's one thing if they're aware of the issues that it poses and are actively working on it. That's fine. But the one's that think it's a cute little quirk wh…
Random telenovela shower thoughts: Over the past couple of weeks I have been catching up on my fave telenovela, La Reina del Flow. And what I have been noodling on is the male characters and how they…
Hey gawdaddy, You have to be the main character in your own life. Send that cutie a message and shoot your shot. Either she goes for it and that's cool, or maybe you guys can catch up just as friends…
There’s a face literally right in front of the lens blocking half the view. If I have to play 'find the main character' in your own profile, I’m already swiping left. You should be the focal point, no…
I'm so sorry this happened to you, OP! My NMonster actually contacted my therapist, and about 30 other people - whose names she obtained from an email of several years ago - with pages and pages of …
Your comment made me think of the movie Under the Tuscan Sun. The scene where the main character is staying in the divorcee hotel and her male neighbor cries at night.
Yes omg 100%. Across the board. They aren’t good to anyone. The goal is to make everyone insecure and seeking his validation. He probably makes her miserable talking about how things “were just better…
So timely to read your post--just yesterday I had the revelation that I was the NPC to my "main character" ex. And, like you, it really helped me see things a lot more clearly. I'm glad you had a good…
Yep - this is SO common now with many women it seems and I’ve found as well in my own divorce. Tik tok has influenced so many women to believe they’re the “main character” of the story and even the co…
Dude, my situation almost exactly. I describe my situation in my marriage as being a swiss-army husband, but she was just very selective about which "tools" she preferred to use, if you know what I me…
This is 100% my case, although my STBX (married 9 years) didn't cheat (not that I know of), she forced herself to be the center of attention. I equally was taught and believed that you put your wife f…
There's a scene where a male police officer has an affair with the main character. And there's a very very violent, yet short, sex scene. At a point you're NOT expecting it. Maybe it's just me but th…
I’ve known people who had child free weddings and everyone of them made exceptions to that rule for immediate family who had infants. It’s her wedding, she absolutely can make an exception for you if …
So, he's telling you that he is only interested in living beings if they entertain him, and, if they do not or have actual real life situations - like medical needs - he will dump them on the curb wit…
Exactly. It's all about image to them, and generally loaded with narcissism. They lack the understanding that their actions have consequences and affect others. Main character symptom to the T. Everyo…
The biggest points, in my opinion: - Conversations often turn into misunderstandings - I feel invisible - He’s become really negative - When I first told him I was pregnant his immediate response was…
Let all that anger out. He absolutely was a selfish, lustful coward who betrayed your trust when you were most vulnerable. But here is the brutal truth: right now, your anger is still keeping you inti…
I dunno man. I see where you are coming from, but it's a bit of a reach. I've been playing video games and Capcom games since the early 1990s and Capcom has other games with different representation. …
It's not like "independent" China is any different. Their main cultural export is gacha games. The main characters in these gacha games are yt. 80% of the cast is yt. But 90% of the players are asian.
That was over 3 decades ago and the story didn’t involve changing races. American Born Chinese has the main character become white without surgery and that was published twenty years ago. RCTA is a b…
Yeah but then, why do the West Asian countries, when not setting their games in West Asia, set their games in places with predominantly white people/ with a white main character? Let's be real here.
It gives main character energy.
I've said it before and I'm sure there'll be another dozen opportunities to say this again in the future: **You'll NEVER see them do this to Black people.** Imagine the same exact setting only in a m…
this is somthing i always questioned, and i am not taling about these ambigious characters designed look anime, but characters actually set in european or fantasy setting so assume white, this find an…
what in the main character syndrome is this - please do her a favor and dump her before you meet her family.
Not to pry about your kids but both my parents were main characters in different ways. It's not fun being a child in that situation. You get forgotten about. Your needs are secondary. I was left with …
I’ve really only ever experienced it IRL from people that had little to no emotional boundaries, projected onto me, claimed to have expertise on my feelings in some way, lacked self-awareness, centere…
This reminds me of a Seinfeld episode. The main character was constantly seeing flaws of the person in the moment but then not seeing clarity of who he liked more
It is clearly phrased in the manner of someone gossiping about the main character doing something taboo, which draws contrast to the actual act of interracial dating which shouldn't be taboo.
Yeah sounds very similar. Have you seen the show Colin from Accounts? There’s an episode which really resonated with me where the main characters go to the woman’s mother’s for dinner. I won’t spoil i…
I think I was wrong for searching a culprit. Everyone doesn't know anything their doing here...We are all trying to figure things out, to survive. We fall, we hit the wall, some sooner than others and…
Your feelings are completely understandable and not “unreasonable”. He has turned sex into a one-man show where his ass toy is the main character and you’re just the supporting actress who has to pau…
I did this with my partner for years. I watched them achieve their goals and it felt like I was living vicariously through them. It felt like I could be fine coasting through my life as long as they g…
The problem is that TLJ was supposed to be a bridge in a Trilogy. But Rian Johnson had main character syndrome and wrote it and directed it like the end of a Duology because he had a hard on for "Endi…
Describing it as lore resonates for sure - I love how it makes all the awful stuff we went through a bit more whimsical too… it’s like main character syndrome but not in the way people want / romantic…
NGL i've been there before, and the whiplash change in interest can throw you through a loop - Especially if you've not really experienced much before. Words are cheap, and anyone announcing they lo…
Please read my post from a few days ago [Linked here](https://www.reddit.com/r/NarcissisticAbuse/s/9a9dquaqSh) A couple of months ago I was still in the same place you are, things changes in a matte…
This!! Many people affirm “he loves me, obsessed with me, wants me” to try to change their person so that they can get treated that way and finally feel like the main character. That’s why it doesn’t…
"I don't understand why you'd \[XYZ\]. You're SO smart!" Since I was a kid, my intelligence was the only *genuine* compliment I ever gotten. Like. No take-backsies, or sarcasm. However, as you migh…
I just say whatever affirmation and add "because I'm the main character" to the end of it. eg: SP is my bf bc I'm the main character. Sorry not really answering your question though. You could always …
you got that weird main character loser syndrome buddy, focus more on fixing your life than obsessing over interracial relationships that aren't even your business. You on bozo time, my boy.
Bloody hell does this feel familiar. They're always the main character in their sad little worlds. I'm so sorry for your loss.
Have you seen [Bob Trevino likes it?](https://youtu.be/3oKtziqR0LI?si=xj8fiA3y-Q2f7uuX) This happens to the main character in the movie. It's all about how she meets a random dude with the same name a…
I used to think it's I didn't feel human because I was treated like my basic human needs were unrealistic. I realize now it's more I feel separate because that was a huge part of the abuse for me. I w…
Seriously those main character "everything I don't like is stupid and people are stupid for liking it" people are always people who can't shut their trap about it. You just gotta stand up to it.
You had a Chinese director, Korean VO actress voicing the Japanese main character. Looks like a nice blend of AAPI to me.
I've had lucid dreams pretty much every single night my whole life. The only way that I can find relief from them is by smoking weed. I will have 3-5 lucid dreams a night and I will remember them all,…
Absolutely the fuck not. You are NOT overreacting. That man treated you like a one-night convenience and then had the audacity to come back with “recovered yet?” like he’s the main character. Your fri…
