46 People Who Definitely Think They’re The Main Character And We All Are Just Extras In Their World
Ah, entitled people. A pet peeve and a source of frustration for many. We know they exist in the wild, yet they never cease to amaze in the worst possible ways.

The term “Main Character Syndrome” is a relatively new concept that came about in the age of social media. As the name suggests, it’s when a person presents themselves in a way that they believe they are part of their own Hollywood film.
It is an entirely different concept from self-presentation (a.k.a. impression management), which, according to Swansea University psychology professor Phil Reed, can cause some confusion.

“Here, a person focuses on one or more aspects of themself that they hope fit the situation, often to their own advantage,” Reed wrote in reference to self-presentation. “Adopting different behaviors from our repertoires, in different contexts, in order to highlight aspects of our own personality, is entirely acceptable”.
Reed further noted that people with Main Character Syndrome want to be somebody else entirely, then present their “perfect life” on social media.

Since teenagers are exposed to social media early on in their lives, there’s a likelihood for them to develop Main Character Syndrome at a young age. According to child psychologist Caitlin Slavens, social platforms are designed to encourage this behavior simply through the engagement metrics.

“The pressure to present an idealized life can blur the line between reality and performance. Every like or comment reinforces the idea that their online persona is their true self, making it harder just to be,” Slavens said.

This House Keeps Their Basketball Hoop In The Middle Of The Side Walk
Lady Gypsy Rain 45 minutes ago
Well, as a parent I can understand why they do that. Yet, I cannot help but notice they have a good sized driveway. And judging by the car up the street, they can park in the street on days the kids want to play. But, if I were not so disabled that I can’t even walk most days, I’d be willing to move it to have the sidewalk available. Mind you, if “I” move it, “I” choose where it will live. And smack dab behind the family SUV looks good to me.

“Emphasize the importance of community, empathy, and shared experiences to help them find a balance between their online persona and real-world connections,” Slavens said.
She also noted parents should recognize and validate their teenager’s need to feel seen, but also remind them that they’re “part of a much bigger story, much like everyone else.”

The Entitled Jerk Who Put Their Mattress In The Dumpster
First of all they do this on a Sunday. (The garbage man picks up the trash on Friday) so pretty much anyone else who wants to use the dumpster is affected. Mind you, this dumpster is shared by several complexes. And the worst part? It's possible that the garbage man can refuse to take the dumpster since it has the mattress in it. So not are they only everyone else over, but their entitlement is possibly fucking them over too. JUST TAKE YOUR STUFF TO THE DUMP LIKE THE REST OF US YOU LAZY JERKS.

Neighbor Put This How To Discipline Kids Book In My Mailbox
My neighbor in her early 80s who likes to throw water on kids’ chalk art put this book in my mailbox. We keep to ourselves and my kids are very respectful. They hate everyone around us and do things like this to everyone. She’s married (somehow) and her husband doesn’t do anything. She’s petty af. Is this harassment? Isn’t it a federal offense to put things like this in others’ mailboxes?

According to the original reddit post, this is/was a 14 year old and was caught when they did it a SECOND time. It was at the Hart Foodbank in Fleet, Hampshire, England, last year. Not only did this worthless sack of excrement break in by smashing a window, he poured out foodstuffs, vandalised the premises, put food in the sinks blocking the drains, turned on the taps and flooded parts of the building. I know what I'd like to do to the fűcker.
