My understanding of it is like people are wrapped up and invested into their own arc and they can't seem to contemplate that life ain't a video game like GTA and they are convinced to the degree that they are the main draw so to speak.

Is this due to narcissism, being sheltered, or would it be categorised as a mental disorder. I'm intrigued, and kind of bored on a Sunday, so let's begin proceedings.

Social Media for sure

You get many twitter/ig followers and you think you're the main character

I deleted IG/Snapchat. I only keep Facebook(boomerbook) since its the best to keep in contact with your fam/friends.

Ego goes into overdrive from the enternal nature of the feedback loop of validation.

It definitely is a major influential factor in this phenomenon.

I keep Facebook cause I'm Europe and plenty of contacts back in the day I got from there and we still keep in touch through there otherwise woulda been gone

That & IG is all I got

I don't think this s*** is real if u don't use Twitter, I never seen this outside of twitter

I heard they f***ed up IG even more by putting more focus on videos/random people on your feed.

Used to be a nice app back in 2014 when it was lowkey and people would flex their scenery pics with random filters

It's like TikTok and them so u see a lot of random content that's even made to look like it's on TikTok itself

But like I said, I use it for friends & sports news and world news, I don't pay that other stuff no mind

I didn’t know this was a thing. People really think like that?

Social media and Yt pipo
The Karens to be more specific

It's not realistically but I get what OP mean

I feel it's just a Gen Z way to describe narcissism

When you spend too much time watching TV and movies you start to see yourself as a protag in one of those stories

loss of God

theres a correlation between religion and narcissism

no but there is between atheism and narcissism

Pandemic tbh. People were mad attention w****s on social media since they couldn’t go outside

no but there is rampant narcissism in both groups

This isn't really a new thing

nice mr both sides showed up

I am the main character though. I see everything through my eyes, hear my thoughts and feel my feelings. Of course im the f***ing main character.

Side characters feel the same way

well i can't feel there feelings so i dont care about them
