The Main Character in All of Us asks a sharper question than "am I self-centred?"
What if "main character energy" isn't confidence... but a coping strategy that quietly costs you your relationships?
In a world built to reward visibility, we learn to curate identity, edit pain into plot, and chase certainty like applause. We don't just share our lives-we script them. And slowly, without meaning to, other people become background noise.
Ethan Solace explores central character syndrome not as a diagnosis, but as a human pattern: the way attention becomes currency, personality becomes persona, and presence turns into performance-until even being "right" can feel hollow if the other person is no longer there.
Inside, you'll explore:
The algorithm of attention-how modern platforms reward emotional extremity and simplify identity into something sellable
When truth becomes collateral-why winning the narrative can still leave you empty
The myth of specialness-how "being seen" can become survival, then a trap
The people we leave behind-how self-centering erodes intimacy, empathy, and trust
How to widen the frame-moving from being admired to being known
If you've ever felt exhausted by performing your life-or quietly grieved someone who can't stop narrating theirs-this book is a mirror, a reckoning, and an invitation.
Because you were never meant to be the only story in the room.
