I used to somewhat suffer from main character syndrome. It's a pretty common thing and it makes sense to believe that you're "special" because you've only ever experienced life from your own POV and especially if you're like me and you spend a lot of time alone in your head.

But after enough failures the delusion starts to go away. This is only over the past year that this has really happened too. I remember when I started university I had extremely low inhibition and that was because I had a delusional level of confidence. That was because I believed that was my "turning point" of sorts and that I would be able to turn my life around if I simply kept putting myself out there. But it didn't work out and I spent the rest of that year rotting.

That was the moment I accepted that I am destined to be a background character in life.

How it feels to be a greycel in a sea of coloured :feelspuke: usernames

I am destined for greatness after I reincarnate into a fantasy magic world and I get the op system and become MC with harem :feelsdevil:

Ngl it's the main cope keeping me alive. I don't believe in God but holy SHIT THERE IS NO FUCKING WAY I AM DEAD AFTER I DIE CONSDERING THE MISERABLE LIVE AM LIVING AND WILL LIVE :cryfeels: I pray for my reincarnation MC dreams to come true :feelsohh:
 
I'm the character nobody fucking remembers
 
I thought that I was going to be something special. Then all the failures started racking up and now I rot in my room every day. The truth is I never had a chance to be worth anything, my life was doomed from the very beginning.

Genuinely even though I'm not religious I feel like there has to be something after death. Just something we wouldn't be able to figure out or comprehend
 
I'm the extra that doesn't get named in the rolling credits

No matter what happens,until the day I die that is the only cope that will remain in my head for sure. I can't be convinced otherwise.
 
Same, I always thought I was better than everyone else and destined for greatness. I really felt like I was invincible until I realized that I was disposable like most other men and could die at any moment without the world batting an eyelid. I’m nobody, just another grain of sand in the desert.

I wish I could believe in an afterlife, but I can't. I believe that when we die, we simply cease to exist forever. As Mark Twain said, we were all "dead" for billions of years before we were born.

I just find it so strange that "existing" is a thing. I have a vivid memory of when I was around 7 year old just sitting the back of my parents cat questioning "Why is anything happening"

This can't be it but I can't bring myself to bring myself to believe any religion

No one ends up a rotter for no reason. That's why I don't like the "muh just go outside bro" arguments. I rot because of my failures

Exactly. These failures occur due to factors outside of our own control. I have become bitter and resentful after facing this cruel reality.
 
I still have MC syndrome, though I know in the grand scheme of it all I'm a nobody

I feel I missed out on life, that I was meant for something great yet in reality, I wasn't even supposed to exist

Not to mention, that a lot of my aspirations of "greatness" were not much aside from being socially, academically/career-wise, and sexually successful

I feel like you can still think of yourself as the main character even when you know you're at the bottom. Not all main characters are successful but the thing you need most to think of yourself as a "main character" is to feel distant and different from other people. You need something that makes yourself seem "special" even if not in a good way.

When you've been deprived of so much in life that is greatness because in our minds it feels so far out of reach.
 
I just have a "sleeper build"
