Social Performance
Main Character
Every story revolves around them.
The Main Character can't share the stage. Every situation gets filtered through how it affects them, every conversation tilts toward their feelings, and your side of things doesn't register as equally real. When something is happening to you, it somehow becomes about them. It's not malicious — it's just that your experience consistently doesn't make it into the room.
Common signs
- Makes every situation about their feelings or narrative
- Ignores or minimizes your perspective
- Needs to be the center of attention or the focus
- Turns your issue into their drama
