Terrifies me sometimes when you meet someone IRL who is basically actively or seeking to be a movie trope.
And there are a lot of them. To the point it's refreshing to me to be around someone who just is themselves and does their won thing and isn't try to live up to an 'image' they saw on a TV screen. Worse now with social media and the influencer wannabes.
Main Character Syndrome?
I feel like Americans are the worst at this, because I feel we're the only modern society who truly feeds into that bullshit. America was brought up on television and it definitely came to a head when we elected a goddamn reality TV host as president the first time.
pretty much. it's gotten really bad the past few years.
and the people who are the worst are the ones who troll on and on about 'empathy' or whatever political cause they are into at the moment they use to shit on everyone else who isn't obsessing over it like they are.
