50 Self-Centered People That Deserved To Be Roasted For Their Tone-Deaf Posts
Interview With Expert
People like to stand out from the crowd. Be unique and act differently. And it’s well and fine when you’re a teenager still building your personality and finding what you like and don’t like. But this struggle to not be like others to get attention gets stale really quickly when you’re an adult. You realize that the ‘not like other people’ phase is just that – a phase, and it seems pretty cringy in real life.
The I’m The Main Character community gives a pretty healthy dose of shaming to those guilty of constantly wanting to be the center of attention. It’s a subreddit with over 1.3 million members who like to roast self-absorbed people. I mean, if they were foolish enough to post their main character syndrome behavior, they need to be able to take the ridicule, right?
Bored Panda also reached out to Alexander Danvers, Ph.D., a social psychologist and Director of Treatment Outcomes at Sierra Tucson, who researches emotions and social interactions.
We asked him how professionals would describe 'Main Character Syndrome,' why some people act this way, and whether we all have some of that main character energy in us. After all, we're all the main characters of our lives, aren't we?

“Not My Order?” I Don’t Know What That Even Means…
Upstaged75 2 years ago
That happened to me once. The barista was making MY order and some douche who had literally just ordered 30 seconds ago yelled at her that she was making it wrong. I turned to him and said "dude quit yelling at her, it's not even your order!".

If that's all cake - the thought of cutting it up is pretty cringe. At some point you have to cut off her head. Someone with a few drinks in them is going to make a lame joke about "I'll have a piece of that a...ss" and so on. I can't think of a graceful way to cut up a cake that looks like a human being.

"Or I escape just in time through a crease and swim up quickly." A perfect example of why schools need to teach critical thinking skills. Water pressure strong enough to crunch a submarine will certainly tenderize his majestic smugness. The Titan submarine was approximately 9000 ft/3000m down, approaching 300 times air pressure at sea level.

They glare because you are blocking the aisle and probably preaching to people about your supposed superiority after you left those fake Christian dollars at Denny's as a tip. That smug smile doesn't help much either. P.S. That's one ugly dress.

Main characters just need to be told they're not main characters in public so they get the humiliation they need. Preferably from an ooooold lady with a handbag.
