I learned a new phrase today: "Main Character Syndrome"

What is it?

Here's the AI Overview:

"Main Character Syndrome" is a, non-clinical, social media-driven term for behavior where individuals view themselves as the protagonist of their life, treating others as supporting characters. It involves high self-focus, dramatic storytelling, and attention-seeking, often used to curate a "perfect" social media image. While it can promote confidence, it often leads to self-absorption, lack of empathy, and entitlement.
