Main Character Energy is History! A Look into How Entitled Influencers aren’t New

Описание: Before you romanticize your life, consider this: the obsession with being the "Main Character" isn't a new TikTok trend—it's a 200-year-old human tradition. In this historical deep-dive, we break down "Main Character Syndrome" from the streets of the internet to the salons of the 19th century.

We trace the dark history of digital narcissism and external validation. If you've ever felt like the people around you are just NPCs, you're experiencing a crisis first mastered by the Romantic poets (or maybe even earlier.) Learn how the original "Byronic Hero," Lord Byron, engineered his own persona for engagement, and how the Old Hollywood studio system perfected the industrialization of the "Star Image."

We analyze the psychological difference between healthy agency and the harmful belief that the world revolves around you, leading to the painful "Byronic Crash" when online performance meets offline reality. Is there a way to enjoy your own story without treating others as background extras?
