‘A friend of mine faked bulimia to get attention’
27 of the Worst Cases of ‘Main Character Syndrome’ Ever

Garden State unleashed all sorts of evil into the world, with “guys searching for a manic pixie dream girl” right at the top of the list. Seriously: one Redditor had an ex who had a hard time separating the Zach Braff film from real life. He accused her of not being quirky enough, telling her that she was supposed to “take him by the hand and show him the world.”

Other Redditors have recalled the people they’ve encountered who believed they were the protagonists of reality, and one thing is for certain — we need a cure for the crying selfie epidemic.

Padunn816 6y ago I know a girl who shamelessly pretends to have OCD/ be bipolar even though she obviously isn't and people call her out on it and when we do she always posts shit on social media like I have been betrayed by those who I trusted my scars may never heal and then next week we back to being friends 276 ...
onwardsaioshima 9y ago My best friend's mom died recently. Her dad and mom has been divorced since she was young, and it was evident he cheated on her with his current girlfriend. The girlfriend went to the funeral against the mom's family's wishes, invited her own friends (who didn't kbow the mom), talked through the entire service, and made a scene at the reception. She wanted attention because her boyfriend's dead ex-wife was getting more attention than her. 82 ...

Reckless_Secretions 1y ago My mother narrates every single thing she does. All day, every day. She'll walk into whichever room I'm in, start talking to me while completely ignoring the fact that I've got my earphones in/watching something/very obviously working or even sat on the toilet with the door shut handling my business.

It's not even like she's telling me her fun plans for the day or week. That would've been more acceptable than this
