The idea of ‘main character energy’ rose in popularity in 2021 after a TikTok trend that promoted romanticizing your life and focusing on yourself. Though, as is common with social media there is a tendency to take things too far. We have seen this energy play out in its best form, when it's used to help build a person's confidence and in its worst…it can be difficult to determine if it's borderline narcissistic. So, is there a line that can exist between being the main character and being a complete narcissist? And if so, what is it?
