Main Character Syndrome

In this episode of the PurposePro Podcast, Priya unpacks the viral cultural phenomenon known as Main Character Syndrome. From TikTok trends to the curated aesthetics of Instagram, we explore how Gen Z’s love of storytelling and self-expression blurs the line between confidence and ego. Is it self-love or self-obsession? Empowerment or performance? We dive into how narrative thinking, aesthetic culture, and social media shape how teens view themselves—and how that affects our mental health, relationships, and sense of authenticity.
