Main Character Syndrome (Affectionate)
Life is a movie and you have the soundtrack ready
Is this you? Only one way to find out
Take the testYour delulu profile
Every room you walk into has a soundtrack only you can hear. The stranger who held the door is clearly the love interest, the sad song your ex posted is obviously a message, and the rain will absolutely stop for your picnic because the script says so.
Honestly? This confidence carries you places. You walk into opportunities other people are too scared to knock on. The roast is that the other people in your movie occasionally want a speaking role too.

Delulu prescription
Keep the soundtrack, share the screen time. Ask one friend this week about their storyline and actually listen. The best main characters have a great supporting cast, and great casts are built on people who feel seen.
