MCS can boost self-esteem, encourage mindfulness, and help create a positive personal narrative.
It can lead to narcissism, social disconnection, and unrealistic expectations from life and others.
MCS relates to identity formation and social comparison, where we view ourselves as protagonists in our story.
True growth is knowing when to take the lead and when to support others in their stories.
Romanticize your life but stay grounded. Celebrate yourself without overshadowing others.
Algorithms reward “main character” content, fueling this mindset but also creating pressure.
Own your story with confidence but remember, everyone else has a role too. Balance is key.
