That’s the same thing I always say. Self absorbed behaviour and narcissism is nothing new. There’s no “main character syndrome.” Social media exaggerates it.
To be fair, Narcissus had the decency not to share to the whole antique world his obsession for himself, and eventualy kinda killed himself. I would call those people more insecure show-offs than true narcissistic individuals. Or attention whores, maybe.
@@nostromza3433 I know. It’s a bunch of nonsense on the internet acting like everything is brand new. You’re not a “non binary species” because you don’t like the masculine/feminine stereotypes. A “pick me” is just a show off, braggart, attention seeking, pretentious, etc. “Main character syndrome” is just narcissism. Acting self involved is nothing new.
Even after it came out he was blind her "apology" was the most half-hearted, half-assed apology clearly made solely to put the focus back on herself, and most people caught onto that real quick and shredded it apart.
I don't understand wearing a sport bra in public. It's a sport BRA. IT GOES UNDER CLOTHES LADIES. Hello...Men a hardwired to look at women. Get over yourself
Maybe so, but if you're a fit, attractive, confident, charismatic person who spent years building yourself to that level, you're definitely more of a main character than the fat, unattractive, shy, insecure person who does nothing to put themselves out there or improve themselves.
@@fuzzypanda1684 you don't know the background of everyone in the world. Maybe that that person who isn't taking that much care of themselves is struggling and/or enduring a lot of things in their life.
We have lost the impact of shame in our society. I cringe so hard at the people who get someone to record them walking around and doing weird dances/performances in public.
Honestly, as long as they aren't moving people around or expecting them to stay out of their shot, that aspect doesn't really bother me. If someone wants to dance in a way that doesn't disturb or disrupt others, then let them dance.
@@brandonjames412 I agree some of them aren’t so bad and can even be impressive. I’m mostly talking about the ones that are in walking paths, getting in peoples way or the ones on the tube being all overly dramatic where you can just see the narcissism leaking off of their face.
The weird part about "Main Character Syndrome" is that it convinces people to do the exact opposite of what a main character would do in similar situations. Look at any fictional work. Book, movie, TV show, video game, the "main character" 99% of the time isn't looking for attention or trying to get attention, in fact most of the time the character is trying to actively avoid attention and it just happens to follow him/her everywhere. In a world where everyone is crazy, the sane man looks insane
Yup. "main characters" in movies/games/books are heroes. These influencers and their herd are just worthless entitled clowns (not even those funny clowns but freakish clowns)
About the gym one, the guy looked like he wanted to HELP her. I mean, she was constantly moving around, swearing under her breath and “panicking”. She looked like she was struggling. I would look over a few time too, to make sure she is ok.
Oh, i know this. Its called chuunibyo right?🤣🤣 most of middle-schoolers (or just teenagers) has this phase lol but thank God i grew out of it and became normal adult
I see your point, but I don't think individual stories are that separate. I think we are all characters of equal value in HUMANITY'S story - only humanity as a whole is the 'main character.' But that's just how I see it.
@@ActualDrunkAtheistliterally this i was talking to myself yesterday like the crazy person i am how,,, i was like how’d you know how that feels do you want me to stB you so you know?? like your dramatic 😭😭 this turned into a rant fast 🧍♀️
I silently smile to myself as I envision this person going to seven different lunch spots, and ordering/paying for food, because the first six actually used female pronouns...and that simply isn't going to work. More likely, it's totally staged.
That first guy using the knife metaphor has very clearly never been stabbed A complete stranger using the wrong pronouns does not hurt like a knife to your literal heart would
My forearm was sliced from my elbow about halfway to my wrist. It was from blocking being cut with a shard of glass. Muscle was hanging out, it looked like the purple, blue and red just like the science books. Everytime my heart beat a stream of blood squirted out. I had like 26 stitches. I almost died. I don't think it's comparable to being called the wrong pronoun lol
I saw a longer clip of the "feral" girl and I can GUARANTEE you that guy approached her because of how she was attempting to put the weights on her bar. Her "technique" is dangerous, and you can see it on his face - he's uncomfortable, not aroused. He's worried she is going to hurt herself and trying to decide if he should stick his neck out because (surprise, surprise) some people don't react well to someone calling them out and offering to help them not drop a heavy weight onto themselves.. Shame on him for trying to help. *eyeroll*
I had thought something similar, since his glances seemed out of concern, with a little bit of annoyance, because of the camera that she had set up for "reasons."
Isn't he also assuming the waiter to be a "he" without asking the waiter's hurr durr pronouns? Imagine a society where everybody pretends to be stupid, and doesn't make any assumptions about anything. "Is the sky blue? I don't want to assume." "Is this a dog or a cat? I don't want to assume." "Do you identify as human? I don't want to assume."
Exactly. These pronoun lunatics also assume everyone else’s chosen pronouns. You can’t change the meaning of a word or how it’s used. That’s why language is universal.
Highly doubt they cared enough to remember their names either, so why do tht have to remember what a singular customer wants to br called? Their job is to get you food, not be your cheerleader or therapist.
@@vanillapinkfluff3477 It gets even better now because they are changing other languages, like Spanish, in video games to be more "inclusive." In trying to be more gender neutral, which isn't even a real thing, they've ended up committing the very thing they're supposedly trying to eliminate - cultural appropriation.

Thank you forever for talking about that “pick me” girl thing. Those were exactly my thoughts and I’ve been dying for someone to say it. Calling a girl a pick me for simply disagreeing with you is not only trashy, ITS MISOGYNY! Do these people really see nothing wrong with telling a woman who thinks for herself that she can’t possibly form her own opinion, and that it must be because she wants male attention? There’s nothing more misogynistic than telling a woman that she essentially lives to please the opposite sex. Hey…I thought women were strong and independent…lol!
Yes, but let’s not pretend it hasn’t become trendy with this generation. We were raised by people telling us we’re all super special and unique, that we were all so great. We weren’t told no, we weren’t disciplined (well, I was, but my parents actually parented me).
@@DannyDevitoOffical-TrustMeBro There are idiot kids from every generation who "weren't told no and weren't disciplined" and they are always the minority.
I remember back when all the social media started catching wind. I remember telling my friends, "Just wait. This is going to create an entire society of narcissists." Hey, what do ya know!?
People who lived before Internet was a thing remember very well how hard it was to communicate to every friend, family member, etc. We were way more focused on our own life. With the boom of social medias and smartphones, today young people are way more focused on how much attention (followers, likes, views) they can get...
Tell me about it. I’m an 03” baby and the biggest thing back then was my space. Other than that, everyone minded their business and lived their lives. But as soon as Instagram released, along with musically, all these never gen individuals took how much attention it gave them, and ran with it. Even people from my own generation act that way, and it disgusts me. My parents were smart enough not to give me a cell phone until 8th grade. And even then, they blocked social media apps on it. So I had the opportunity to live a blissful, peaceful life. If only the self centered narcissists who exist today had parents who could’ve raised them better. It’s a shame how so many people have turned out. They are all chronically online, mentally ill people.
Socially engineered devolution. Main character mania is a just another zombie mantra created by mass media/corporations, always promoting selfishness, greed, narcissism and sheer stupidity for peasant masses. People are not encouraged to be more intelligent, to be useful for society, to be supportive for each other, for their families and friends, for their city and country, for the entire humankind.... they are encouraged to be entitled clowns.
If I had the misfortune of being one of the servers he pulled aside to say “HE misgendered me”, I’d ask him how he knew the person he spoke of identified as a he. That’s how you get these morons to shut up.
That man claiming "it's like a knife in the heart" does not show any honest emotional affect. He looks pleased to say "it's like a knife in the heart." He's a liar lying for clicks.
He deliberately sets up the camera knowing that people are going call him a man with his giant man head and his deep man voice. Anything for clout these days🙄
Womanhood ≠ cosmetics, hair length, or clothing. As an actual woman, I find it extremely insulting that self centered, misogynist men with a fetish think they are suddenly women because they are wearing makeup /smutty outfits/ etc. It’s flat out offensive.
Transgender people just want to be the gender they think they should’ve been born as. Kinda sad ngl but they have gotta realize that they can’t change their gender or call gender a social construct because it’s not, a man and a woman is not a social construct, but they do have social constructs and those are called gender norms/roles/ expressions.
As a teenager many of us thought the whole world was looking and thinking about us, thus why it was so easy to get embarrassed. As you grow up you realize everyone has their own life and has their own problems and they aren’t really thinking that much about you. I guess with social media you never realize that because so many people online are watching you.
This is a sign of how lacking in leadership is in this generation, if it had been me, I would have asked the customer to stop bothering my employees over nothing.
Not at any corporate restaurant you wouldn't have; otherwise, you'd not be the manager for very much longer. I also find the conflicting values, or claimed values, to be endlessly hilarious. People speak on the assumption that these restaurant employees are underpaid, and occasionally, mistreated at work (which does happen sometimes), but then they proceed to go out and mistreat them or complain to the manager about these minor mistakes. Of course, these 'influencers' actually care nothing about the employees. I'd also suggest that most of the people who cry about, 'Fair wages,' also do not care about the employees and want to score ideological purity points online. If they cared about the employees, then they would realize that it is in their immediate power to smile, be polite and try to make that person's day at work better. You could pay me $25 an hour, plus tips, and I'd still say, "Nah. This shit ain't worth it these days." Of course, it is my assumption that those videos were, as likely as not, totally staged.
@@brandonjames412 That's the point of leadership bud, you can't be a leader without taking a risk here or there, you can't be a manager without leading, I mean, without leadership, middle management, low management. They're all pretty useless positions, which is the problems with all big companies, they have too many paid leaders to do basically nothing. Leadership is important but with the state of the professional environment, we might as well cut loose most bosses and managers, and things would pretty much continue the same. That why it makes me mad when people get hired for leadership positions without leadership. Happens everywhere. Now that's a pandemic right there.
@@tafferchuck1349 I've had supervisory and management jobs, sir, thank you. Grocery, telemarketing...hotels, the longest. What I mean is, if you were the manager for something like a corporate chain restaurant, then the company would absolutely demand compliance with current social justice standards. At an independent restaurant, hell yeah, you stand up for your employees because good ones are hard to find. Also, even if you're the boss, loyalty is always a two-way street. Still, going against the social justice narrative, whatever it might be, ain't gonna fly with big corporations. Anyway, I'm pretty sure we generally agree on this one, bud. lol
@@brandonjames412 I'm not saying you rage against the customer and call him f slurs, you are objective, remain calm, and flip the narrative. You can make it in big corporations, you just gotta be smart about it. Leadership isn't a simple trait, it's a skill that you develop, but by action, not inaction. I will not go into the specifics, but I will just say this, it can be done. And people can't complain about staying in a middle or low management position at an establishment if they care that much about it. Everyone wants better job, and everyone thinks they deserve more. But the reality, most have already accepted an NPC life. And not in a good way. In a resentful, angry, and burdenous way. I personally got a good use out of my positions in the low end. But for practice of other skills, not for a paycheck.
@brandonjames412 I work at a nation grocery chain, and management actually leads. They constantly have to throw people out or call the cops over the most asinine BS. Then again, we also don't get any misgendering type incidents and it's usually someone causing a fight in the can/bottle return room. Occasionally it's someone throwing a fit at the customer service desk. It all really depends on the corporation but most are as you said.
i didn’t think it was possible to come up with an original concept for a reality show in 2023, but this might just be it. or at least, a concept for a reality show that i would actually want to watch! that mortal kombat final tournament but for influencers… (oh god, my millennial is showing). i would just feel really bad for all of the people that would have to work on the show - the producers, the crew, the casting people, all the regular people just trying to get by and get a paycheck who’d have to put up with all of those main characters. especially the people working at or innocently attending the bars, restaurants, stores, etc. that you’d have to follow the contestants to, bc they didn’t sign up for that shit and the staff certainly aren’t getting paid enough to deal with it! it’s certainly an interesting concept though lol. the grand prize for the “winner” of the show should be a year-long stay at a psychiatric facility that specializes in treating a wide range of mental illnesses, as each contestant would likely meet the diagnostic criteria for at least 2 or 3 disorders.
@@the.chronic.ironic reality shows already are just a bunch of narcissists with main character syndrome trying to out-main character each other. That’s the demographic of people that those shows attract; people who think they’re so interesting and amazing, people would flock to their TV sets just to watch their normal, every day lives play out.
This young lady is one of the most intelligent people I've seen on the internet in the last few years. Has her head together and squarely set on her shoulders. Thank you for giving me hope for the future of the world. 👍👍👍
I firmly believe this is the result of giving your kid an iPad every time they ask for it when they're growing up, instead of teaching patience, respect, tolerance and the ability to find something else to do (like touching grass). Now, when someone interferes with the only thing they know (being centre of attention), they have to resort to other avenues to continue feeding their narcissistic delusions. What a sad world to be a young adult in.
Kids on social media WILL destroy our society if it isn't stopped. 7th graders are at a 4th grade level. Its affecting their brain development. It's so sad that people let their kids destroy themselves.
Narcissism isn’t new. The myth, related in Ovid’s Metamorphoses, is about the danger of self love, which can be too much of a good thing. For some people, that’s all they need to be.
It's self obsession though. I don't believe these people love anyone including themself. That would require an understanding of what love is in all of its facets. They studied up on childish obsession and stopped there

When people have main character syndrome, what they don't realise is that main characters in novels, movies and games are constantly being influenced by their environment, and the best main characters actually develop meaningful relationships with everyone in a flawed but interesting way, often gaining some new form of enlightenment or lesson from their experience with others. Main characters in video games specifically, also have to "earn" things and aren't necessary immediately entitled to anything (leveling, gearing, unlocking things with quests etc.). People with main character syndrome ironically act more like a minor antagonist who the viewer/reader/player can't help but fantasizing about their downfall.
Yeah exactly! And there are lots of main characters who are underdog types (Harry Potter for example - he lived in a cupboard under the stairs not in some big mansion). These people remind me of characters like Draco Malfoy 😂 so maybe we should start calling it "Antagonist Syndrome" lol
Translation for the first clip: "I'm a psychopath who gets off on degrading women by wearing womanface. But I also get off on ruining people's lives, so I'll accuse you of misgendering me."
I would be willing to bet money that dressing as a h-ssy is something he gets off to, and getting people in trouble for not recognizing him as the thing he isn’t is part of that.
Normal person: *takes so much as a glance at an influencer walking near them* Influencer: That background character has definitely fallen in love with me. What’s funny is that normally, in these books for tweens, it’s always the antagonistic popular girl who gets people turning their heads toward her rather than the main character.
I did in a dementia home. There is no point trying to bring the dementia patients back to reality and it only serves to hurt them. If they asked where their husband/wife was (who had long died) I would say they had just popped out to the shops. 😊
If every single person you come across calls you "sir" by default, you may want to come to the realization that you are, indeed, a sir. And sir is a term of respect. If you're that delusional that you feel so deeply offended after being referred to in a respectful manner, it may be you're the one with the problem.
Every single person I come across thinks I'm 14 at first (I'm 20). Does that mean that I can go have sex with a 13 year old boy? By your logic I'm just a delusional young teen, so it should be fine right?
@@icedcat4021 What are you even talking about? That's a complete nonsequitur to what I said. The topic is we're talking about a man who obviously is a man who wants to be addressed as a woman. And you jumped from that to underage sex? Sounds like you have an issue that needs to be addressed.
Referring to someone in a respectful manner, let me tell you something insane. I’m from Germany and our pronoun for „her“ is „Sie“. We have a respectful pronoun too that you use especially for strangers, costumers, your boss, teachers… you name it. The thing is: this respectful pronoun is also „Sie“, but includes everyone, male and female. We have people now shouting at you for using the respectful pronoun claiming they got misgendered. And then the person talking to them is like: „Sorry for using the respectful pronoun for you.“ It’s all about misgendering and being personally offended instead of focusing on the use of language for just one second.
@@stevenalexander6713 And nevermind the fact that two underage people having sex regardless is still illegal and morally wrong. So I have no fucking clue what icedcat is talking about...they need to seek a psychiatrist because they clearly have some deep underlying issues there.
@@nat_halie4511 I think that's by design, these freaks' entire goal is to destroy not just language, but basic communication between humans. Because once you control communication and the transfer of knowledge, you control the entire world.
thank you so much for this video. thank you, as well, for talking about the pick me girl being used as an insult and why it is stupid to assume that just because you are a woman, you have to inconditionally support what other women do. it is utter nonsense. i'm 33 and a substitute teacher, and all i can say is, i am sad for the generation in kindergarten.
The first guy, he repeatedly signified the heart was on the right side, he was very confused. At the gym, the woman acted like she didn't know what to do with the weights, likely why others looked at her.
The latter is very likely. Next thing you know they'll sue the establishment since nobody is willing to help anymore when they mishandled the heavy equipments and ending up injuring themselves.
“For people [in the last days] will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, inhuman, implacable, slanderers, profligates, brutes, haters of good,” (2 Timothy 3:2-3, New Revised Standard Version).
I still cannot believe these people are apologizing to him if I were them I would have never apologized! Because I’m not going to apologize for what you are!
They are apologizing to try and stop him from making a scene. They know its coming. Plus they have to apologize because of their job. Otherwise they will be fired.
When you work in customer service you have to apologize for things that are not your fault or risk unemployment (which would be so bad if unemployment benefits were over the the poverty line but that’s another issue). Some customers really wanna make you live on the streets for your perceived slights
There was this one time last week where a bunch of cars trying to get out of grocery store parking lot and this guy kept taking selfies(?) and seeing it really opened my eyes about how so many people think they’re main characters and that nothing is gonna happen to them. I swear people now think it’s their world and we’re all just living in it-
I'm glad you touched on the inappropriate dressing. As someone who does their best to dress modest, it infuriates me when other women basically say "Screw this, I'm above it all!"
She also touched on “pick me” girls. Some may say that when a girl says “I’m not like other girls, I dress modestly” is a very Pick Me comment. You have the choice to dress how you want to dress. No one should look down on you for dressing modestly. With that said, I would hope you would extend that same bare minimum respect to an adult woman even if you personally would not wear that same outfit.
Those "people react to me walking down a street!!!" videos are so funny because it's usually people giving dirty and/or weirded out looks to someone who is obviously annoying and rude in a public space

Hi Misha! I wonder if these narcissists are aware that in many cases a consent form must legally be obtained to show people on camera? I would enjoy seeing these so called influencers slapped with a civil lawsuit. As for these narcissists, this behavior demonstrates to me that their parents were failures at raising their children.
In America, there's no reasonable expectation of privacy in public. You're not supposed to show people's children, I do believe, but adults is a no go, unfortunately.
When I cut my hair to basicly buzz cut I was called sir daily. I am biological woman and it bothered me. I didn't screen at every person that made mistake or filmed confrontation. I started wearing makeup, hells and revealing blouses. With time I grew back my hair. I changed myself without bothering everyone.
Have you noticed though? They tend to try to keep it nebulous? The females going for the butch look, the guys for the super girly look? They put effort into the look they choose. As you found, it is easy to look feminine with short hair For example, Jacqueline Pierce.
Its curious to see how a lot of trends on social media potentialize main character syndrome to the point its getting more and more cartoonish. Another great video and your explanations about this issue are very solid. There is a huge difference between healthy levels of self-esteeem and being a hardcore narcissist, but someone with a strong main character syndrome seems unable to understand this.
It’s reminding me of when I was 12 years old and standing in the mirror thinking I was the most important and prettiest everrrr because I put lipstick on and a boy talked to me that day. Hahaha. I’m all about confidence- to this day even- but when you walk around other people who have different minds, lives and ideas than you but project them to the narcissistic space taking person you are- it’s just annoying. And two things can be right at the same time: 1) you’re beautiful/ handsome or talented or brave AND 2) you are subjecting yourself to people who aren’t trying to even be in your space and don’t owe you SHIT. Also someone looking at you while you flaunt yourself with a camera in front or behind you DOESNT necessarily mean you’re great. With wisdom and grace I’ve learned that the most respected and beautiful are those who don’t need attention to feel valid. Just saying ☺️
Nailed it in the head. The level of narcissism on display everywhere - unashamedly - is getting really creepy. I'd just add one thing: How do these ideologies work together exactly? Women must stand together no matter what, even if one of them is a dude who just put lipstick on, but women absolutely have their own agency unless told otherwise, and also men know best how to women. Apparently. I give up.
A knife in the heart? The neutral face and borderline monotone verbal response casts a bit of doubt on her assessment of being misgendered despite making no effort to look like a ma'am. This might be the most blase' display of melodrama I have ever seen.
@PoppyKat72 I have no interest in dying on the pronoun hill. That is a decision I have made for myself. I still oppose compelled speech. I also believe trans individuals need to work to pass as the gender with which they identify. Blair White for example does so.
@@UncleMikeDrop (to be clear, I AM NOT MAD- i dont wanna come off that way like "OH YOU DIRTY LITTLE RASCAL, IM GONNA CANCEL YOU!!!"- just trying to be informative and give you my perspective, lol) as a trans person myself who passes most times, (ftm), some people just.. cant. let it be their voice, their body, lack of resources, etc, its hard for some people to. also, a trans person doesnt have to adhere to gender norms/pass. trans guys can be feminine, have long hair, and still be guys because its how *they* feel and its their right to still be respected. trans girls can be masculine, have short hair, and still be girls because of the same reason. as well as people on the nonbinary spectrum. masc, fem, neutral, whatever. they dont *need* to pass. personally, i will admit, i do get sort of irked when someone has SO MUCH POTENTIAL TO PASS, but they choose not to. but, its not my buisness, or my life, but theirs. so i will still respect them no matter how they present, even if i mess ul a few times (noones perfect, i try my best though because ik how it feels to be misgendered.). on the misgendering thing, its different for everyone. in my experience, it sucks, cause i try so hard to pass. but, it doesnt like, kill me on the inside, because its not a whole thing. in places where im not out, and im called she, it doesnt botherme that much. its when im out as a guy, and im called she, is when jt makes me uncomfortable. if it were like, alot of people doing it when i am presenting as a guy, like at school, then itd be really hard for me to deal with (i pass for the most part though, so im good for right now). for some people, they might not care even the slightest bit, or they could really REALLY care. and that is absolutely fine! TLDR; trans people dont need to pass to be still be the gender they are, and misgendering feels different for everyone 🤗
@@heytheresport She takes it too far by filming people for misgendering her(most likely unintentionally). Sure, not everyone can fully pass, but they need to understand that mistakes will be made.
you make some good points! imo a massive problem is that social media fuels narcissism- the people posting these self-centred videos will get positive feedback (likes etc) which then drives other people to post similar things
I mean if your walking around with a camera following you or your walking like your at a fashion show of course someone’s looking at you thinking who’s this weirdo.
Hearing about how you're describing how someone people use my 'main character' idea is like an inventor watching people use their invention in horrific and mind boggling ways not intended for its use
Touching base on the gym girl thing. As a man, yes, women wearing more provocative attire does make me uncomfortable. It makes me uncomfortable because I am straight and it is visually appealing for me, but this is not the time or place in which I want to be aroused. Cause again, I’m a guy. I’ve had women wear these shorts and step right in front of my eye view and I am not trying to get in any trouble, yes I see you, but is not my intention to stare at the cease of a women’s ass. I don’t want to tell women what they should wear, but body parts are starting to pop out and I feel like need to walk in blindfolded
For real this is a dilemma I have. I keep hearing men have no right to tell women how to dress. But idk I think it's not that simple. I do think both men and women have to listen to the other sex and act in a way that promotes social cohesion. Like you, I do not go to the gym to be aroused. Please keep your ass out of my face. Yes, as men we have control over our behaviors and I do practice that, but I feel it goes both ways. At a certain point we need to be grounded enough to understand that squatting in front of a guy wearing skin tight booty shorts is likely to provoke a reaction. That is not misoginy, it's just the truth. It's like people who listen to their music loudly in public, on the bus or whatnot. It's rude because others around you did not sign up to listen to your music. As a man, when I'm walking on the street at night, I will make a point to walk on the other side of the street if I see a woman walking my way. Do I have to do that? No, I have a right to be on that sidewalk. But I do it because I know that in that moment I am seen as a possible threat. I do it to make them feel safer. So like I said, these things go both ways.
@@Manoffire97 yea as an avid gym goer, I want everyone to love there bodies and be proud of that progress that comes with it. Which does mean you will be in tighter clothing, most likely. I won’t be a hypocrite and I will admit that a couple times a week I wear shorter shorts for legs days and as my body has grown my shirts have tighten. It’s taken me years to feel good wearing my gym clothes and I’m sure many women adopt the same mentality, but some outfits are just…. I mean there’s a young woman at my gym and the shorts are so short that a slight bend over and I see her actual ass. And yes I completely agree because even though I would want something like this at private at home, right now it’s inappropriate to me. I have great self control, but that literally doesn’t mean test the waters with men either. If the intent is to get a man’s attention for a good purpose…just say hello. And also, not just nighttime. I will take myself and my little dog on the opposite side of the street. Even in the bright mornings and sometimes it is sad because my frenchie wants nothing but to say hello
As a pear shaped curvy girl who works out and is legit built like a thicc Yorha 2B, I am aware of how I dress so my butt cheeks don’t come poppin out and those wedgie pants make ME uncomfortable. I’m attracted to men and women but it grosses me out tbh. If you just grow a butt and wear normal shorts it’ll look good lmao 🤣 I work in a grocery store and see way more boobs and butt than I should on a daily basis, it’s so inappropriate in my opinion and keep in mind this is coming from a cosplayer who dresses in sexy outfits. Like bro I don’t wear lingerie to go buy almond milk wtf 😭
@@Manoffire97 "I do not go to the gym to be aroused" That's one reason I don't go to gyms.

This generation does not know what being humble and considerate is. But this goes more than skin deep, in reality these people need love and they need know how to accept and value it.
My dude , our generation as a whole , across the continents , i think , cant be represented by the madness going on , on social media . While i agree , that there is a lot of flaws being more common , there is a looot of genuine good people , alongside bad , weird people , who i personally believe are the minority . Social media do a good job , amplifying the ego of some , or just over representing the peculiar , because we seek to see thing we dont usually irl. like i just started uni , and met alot of people who are nothing like those internet people , thanks to god . Or maybe because i am not american or western , so our society still quite conservative , but yeah quite the rant i did here
@@louyou6614 Correct and seeing this topic through a broader lenz is certainly something I need to do more, however " these people" are the ones that she was talking about in the video and I think truly highlight what many people in gen z would consider "attention seekers". I see your point though there are so many people that I know in my generation that are considerate and do go against this social media-framed, overreacting sensitive character.
I don't agree about the "this generation" part though. Working in retail all my life (I'm in my fifties) the insane amount of older people who are extremely rude, entitled, and want special treatment is truly horrible. They want the sale price from last week, and throw a huge fit because I should make an exception for them because they "shop here all the time", not realizing that everyone shops here all the time, and you don't see them asking for special treatment. But that doesn't cross their mind. They interrupt a lot. I'll be conversing with a customer while cashing them out, and someone will walk up and just start telling me things, I was taught to say "excuse me" first if I'm interrupting a conversation. But again, it doesn't cross their mind that two other people were in the middle of something. The younger folks don't tend to behave like this. They are mostly kind and respectful. They don't threaten to have me fired, don't make fun of my hearing impairment, it's like night and day. I mean, clearly there are narcissistic young folks as well, as evidenced in these clips. It's disgusting no matter which generation you're in.
@emilymann1175 yes people do tend to get more cranky when they get old, compared to when they were young and laid back. But these are young people acting like this today, and these young people use the power of social media to try and slander and destroy your reputation.
Yes, it's narcissism. Most "people" in modern society hate themselves deep inside their minds. Their minds are full of hatred, not love. This is why they created their false image of 'perfect me', and act as if they are the 'perfect me'. Their 'perfect me' is physically intimidating, 'scarily rich', and very very very powerful. These "people" do everything to protect their 'perfect me'. They are ready to scare other people out to convince themselves that they are physically intimidating. They are ready to live in debt they can't handle to look 'scarily rich'. They are ready to defraud someone to convince themselves that they are powerful and "smart" enough to steal money from other people with no consequences. They can't make real friends with this mindset.
Their are a lot of influencers who have fake personas for clout on social media. And a lot of teenagers who adapt fake personas in order to give their lives meaning. It's a sad reality
You know, if these people think that they're the main character in life, why do they care so much when someone just happens to glance in their general direction??
The woman and man who walk around and film people’s reactions to them is WILD. What will you do when you get older and you aren’t turning heads in the same way on the street?? Definitely told RUclips not to recommend their content to me, that’s some toxic crap.
I say I have a healthy dose of main character syndrome- I don't film myself performing in public, I am not entitled etc but like, I guess maybe it's more of romantisizing my normal ish life and just having confidence and feeling like the main character, healthy doses of it
It's one thing to be like me and somewhat view my life as a movie, but it is a whole different thing to be a complete narcissist with absolutely no regard for other people. Just because you view yourself as a "main character," it doesn't give you priority over everyone else in the world and it is no excuse for being rude to people. People with such toxic traits are far too common here in the United States and I am sure they exist in numbers in other parts of the world. It's like being kind to other people is under rated these days. That sounds ridiculous to say, though being on the internet everyday and seeing the kinds of things people post is really proving my point. You don't have to be kind to everyone, though it is insane if all you do is act like a blatant narcissist to everyone you interact with.
Main Character Syndrome is just a fancy name for narcissism.
That’s the same thing I always say. Self absorbed behaviour and narcissism is nothing new. There’s no “main character syndrome.” Social media exaggerates it.
To be fair, Narcissus had the decency not to share to the whole antique world his obsession for himself, and eventualy kinda killed himself. I would call those people more insecure show-offs than true narcissistic individuals. Or attention whores, maybe.

@@nostromza3433 I know. It’s a bunch of nonsense on the internet acting like everything is brand new. You’re not a “non binary species” because you don’t like the masculine/feminine stereotypes.

They’re not “obsessed” with you, it’s a humans natural instinct to look at something looking in the corner of their eye.
I look at everyone that I see in public. It’s called being aware of your surroundings.

Kind of sad how someone accidentally being misgendered ruins their day.

My favorite "gym girl" bit was one where the girl confronted a guy who happened to look in her direction--but was legally blind
LOL. I wish I had seen that one.
Even after it came out he was blind her "apology" was the most half-hearted, half-assed apology clearly made solely to put the focus back on herself, and most people caught onto that real quick and shredded it apart.
He was genuinely a really great guy. He was on the Yt channel @Triggernometry talking about this. He had a great sense of humour fortunately.

@@justsomeuser2871and there’s is no main character is the world, everyone just trying to live.
Maybe so, but if you're a fit, attractive, confident, charismatic person who spent years building yourself to that level, you're definitely more of a main character than the fat, unattractive, shy, insecure person who does nothing to put themselves out there or improve themselves.
@@fuzzypanda1684 you don't know the background of everyone in the world. Maybe that that person who isn't taking that much care of themselves is struggling and/or enduring a lot of things in their life.
We have lost the impact of shame in our society. I cringe so hard at the people who get someone to record them walking around and doing weird dances/performances in public.
Honestly, as long as they aren't moving people around or expecting them to stay out of their shot, that aspect doesn't really bother me. If someone wants to dance in a way that doesn't disturb or disrupt others, then let them dance.
Main Character Syndrome is "Lack of Self-Awareness"
We need to bring back shame
@@brandonjames412 I agree some of them aren’t so bad and can even be impressive. I’m mostly talking about the ones that are in walking paths, getting in peoples way or the ones on the tube being all overly dramatic where you can just see the narcissism leaking off of their face.
People think that shame hurts you but it’s actually to prevent you from hurting yourself.
The weird part about "Main Character Syndrome" is that it convinces people to do the exact opposite of what a main character would do in similar situations. Look at any fictional work. Book, movie, TV show, video game, the "main character" 99% of the time isn't looking for attention or trying to get attention, in fact most of the time the character is trying to actively avoid attention and it just happens to follow him/her everywhere. In a world where everyone is crazy, the sane man looks insane
i second this!
Yup. "main characters" in movies/games/books are heroes. These influencers and their herd are just worthless entitled clowns (not even those funny clowns but freakish clowns)
Luke Skywalker. Frodo Baggins. Indiana Jones. Katniss Everdeen. John Wick. They didn't seek attention.

That’s certainly the level of maturity being demonstrated by the people in these videos.
We should start calling it that here in America. That sounds accurate
You should be the main character in your own life. But don't expect to be the main character in anyone else's life.
I see your point, but I don't think individual stories are that separate. I think we are all characters of equal value in HUMANITY'S story - only humanity as a whole is the 'main character.' But that's just how I see it.

Muscle was hanging out, it looked like the purple, blue and red just like the science books. Everytime my heart beat a stream of blood squirted out. I had like 26 stitches. I almost died. I don't think it's comparable to being called the wrong pronoun lol
It's all in his head, and yes, HIS.
I don't think that'll hurt for long
I saw a longer clip of the "feral" girl and I can GUARANTEE you that guy approached her because of how she was attempting to put the weights on her bar. Her "technique" is dangerous, and you can see it on his face - he's uncomfortable, not aroused. He's worried she is going to hurt herself and trying to decide if he should stick his neck out because (surprise, surprise) some people don't react well to someone calling them out and offering to help them not drop a heavy weight onto themselves.. Shame on him for trying to help. *eyeroll*
Plus her crouching in tiny shorts like that is gonna stink so bad. I’m a girl, I’ve been there, it’s gross.

"Do you identify as human? I don't want to assume."
Exactly. These pronoun lunatics also assume everyone else’s chosen pronouns. You can’t change the meaning of a word or how it’s used. That’s why language is universal.

Thank you forever for talking about that “pick me” girl thing. Those were exactly my thoughts and I’ve been dying for someone to say it. Calling a girl a pick me for simply disagreeing with you is not only trashy, ITS MISOGYNY!

There’s nothing more misogynistic than telling a woman that she essentially lives to please the opposite sex. Hey…I thought women were strong and independent…lol!

Yes, but let’s not pretend it hasn’t become trendy with this generation. We were raised by people telling us we’re all super special and unique, that we were all so great. We weren’t told no, we weren’t disciplined (well, I was, but my parents actually parented me).

I remember back when all the social media started catching wind. I remember telling my friends, "Just wait. This is going to create an entire society of narcissists." Hey, what do ya know!?
People who lived before Internet was a thing remember very well how hard it was to communicate to every friend, family member, etc. We were way more focused on our own life. With the boom of social medias and smartphones, today young people are way more focused on how much attention (followers, likes, views) they can get...
Tell me about it. I’m an 03” baby and the biggest thing back then was my space. Other than that, everyone minded their business and lived their lives. But as soon as Instagram released, along with musically, all these never gen individuals took how much attention it gave them, and ran with it. Even people from my own generation act that way, and it disgusts me. My parents were smart enough not to give me a cell phone until 8th grade. And even then, they blocked social media apps on it. So I had the opportunity to live a blissful, peaceful life. If only the self centered narcissists who exist today had parents who could’ve raised them better. It’s a shame how so many people have turned out. They are all chronically online, mentally ill people.
Socially engineered devolution. Main character mania is a just another zombie mantra created by mass media/corporations, always promoting selfishness, greed, narcissism and sheer stupidity for peasant masses.
People are not encouraged to be more intelligent, to be useful for society, to be supportive for each other, for their families and friends, for their city and country, for the entire humankind.... they are encouraged to be entitled clowns.
"I use she/her pronouns" said in the deep grown a$$ manly voice 😂

As a teenager many of us thought the whole world was looking and thinking about us, thus why it was so easy to get embarrassed.

I guess with social media you never realize that because so many people online are watching you.
This is a sign of how lacking in leadership is in this generation, if it had been me, I would have asked the customer to stop bothering my employees over nothing.
Not at any corporate restaurant you wouldn't have; otherwise, you'd not be the manager for very much longer.
I also find the conflicting values, or claimed values, to be endlessly hilarious. People speak on the assumption that these restaurant employees are underpaid, and occasionally, mistreated at work (which does happen sometimes), but then they proceed to go out and mistreat them or complain to the manager about these minor mistakes.
Of course, these 'influencers' actually care nothing about the employees. I'd also suggest that most of the people who cry about, 'Fair wages,' also do not care about the employees and want to score ideological purity points online. If they cared about the employees, then they would realize that it is in their immediate power to smile, be polite and try to make that person's day at work better.
You could pay me $25 an hour, plus tips, and I'd still say, "Nah. This shit ain't worth it these days."
Of course, it is my assumption that those videos were, as likely as not, totally staged.
@@brandonjames412 That's the point of leadership bud, you can't be a leader without taking a risk here or there, you can't be a manager without leading, I mean, without leadership, middle management, low management. They're all pretty useless positions, which is the problems with all big companies, they have too many paid leaders to do basically nothing. Leadership is important but with the state of the professional environment, we might as well cut loose most bosses and managers, and things would pretty much continue the same. That why it makes me mad when people get hired for leadership positions without leadership. Happens everywhere. Now that's a pandemic right there.
@@tafferchuck1349 I've had supervisory and management jobs, sir, thank you. Grocery, telemarketing...hotels, the longest.

At an independent restaurant, hell yeah, you stand up for your employees because good ones are hard to find. Also, even if you're the boss, loyalty is always a two-way street.
Still, going against the social justice narrative, whatever it might be, ain't gonna fly with big corporations.
Anyway, I'm pretty sure we generally agree on this one, bud. lol
@@brandonjames412 I'm not saying you rage against the customer and call him f slurs, you are objective, remain calm, and flip the narrative. You can make it in big corporations, you just gotta be smart about it. Leadership isn't a simple trait, it's a skill that you develop, but by action, not inaction. I will not go into the specifics, but I will just say this, it can be done. And people can't complain about staying in a middle or low management position at an establishment if they care that much about it. Everyone wants better job, and everyone thinks they deserve more. But the reality, most have already accepted an NPC life. And not in a good way. In a resentful, angry, and burdenous way. I personally got a good use out of my positions in the low end. But for practice of other skills, not for a paycheck.
@brandonjames412 I work at a nation grocery chain, and management actually leads. They constantly have to throw people out or call the cops over the most asinine BS.
Then again, we also don't get any misgendering type incidents and it's usually someone causing a fight in the can/bottle return room.
Occasionally it's someone throwing a fit at the customer service desk.
It all really depends on the corporation but most are as you said.

i would just feel really bad for all of the people that would have to work on the show - the producers, the crew, the casting people, all the regular people just trying to get by and get a paycheck who’d have to put up with all of those main characters. especially the people working at or innocently attending the bars, restaurants, stores, etc. that you’d have to follow the contestants to,
bc they didn’t sign up for that shit and the staff certainly aren’t getting paid enough to deal with it! it’s certainly an interesting concept though lol. the grand prize for the “winner” of the show should be a year-long stay at a psychiatric facility that specializes in treating a wide range of mental illnesses, as each contestant would likely meet the diagnostic criteria for at least 2 or 3 disorders.

Sir is a term of respect. He is correct, he does not deserve the respect afforded to a "Sir".
When people have main character syndrome, what they don't realise is that main characters in novels, movies and games are constantly being influenced by their environment, and the best main characters actually develop meaningful relationships with everyone in a flawed but interesting way, often gaining some new form of enlightenment or lesson from their experience with others. Main characters in video games specifically, also have to "earn" things and aren't necessary immediately entitled to anything (leveling, gearing, unlocking things with quests etc.). People with main character syndrome ironically act more like a minor antagonist who the viewer/reader/player can't help but fantasizing about their downfall.
Yeah exactly! And there are lots of main characters who are underdog types (Harry Potter for example - he lived in a cupboard under the stairs not in some big mansion). These people remind me of characters like Draco Malfoy 😂 so maybe we should start calling it "Antagonist Syndrome" lol
Translation for the first clip: "I'm a psychopath who gets off on degrading women by wearing womanface. But I also get off on ruining people's lives, so I'll accuse you of misgendering me."
I would be willing to bet money that dressing as a h-ssy is something he gets off to, and getting people in trouble for not recognizing him as the thing he isn’t is part of that.
Normal person: *takes so much as a glance at an influencer walking near them*
Influencer: That background character has definitely fallen in love with me.
What’s funny is that normally, in these books for tweens, it’s always the antagonistic popular girl who gets people turning their heads toward her rather than the main character.

If they asked where their husband/wife was (who had long died) I would say they had just popped out to the shops. 😊

I agree, these people need to be in a “home”…
It’s a symptom of narcism. Kind of really sad.
If every single person you come across calls you "sir" by default, you may want to come to the realization that you are, indeed, a sir. And sir is a term of respect. If you're that delusional that you feel so deeply offended after being referred to in a respectful manner, it may be you're the one with the problem.
Every single person I come across thinks I'm 14 at first (I'm 20). Does that mean that I can go have sex with a 13 year old boy? By your logic I'm just a delusional young teen, so it should be fine right?
@@icedcat4021 What are you even talking about? That's a complete nonsequitur to what I said. The topic is we're talking about a man who obviously is a man who wants to be addressed as a woman. And you jumped from that to underage sex? Sounds like you have an issue that needs to be addressed.
Referring to someone in a respectful manner, let me tell you something insane. I’m from Germany and our pronoun for „her“ is „Sie“. We have a respectful pronoun too that you use especially for strangers, costumers, your boss, teachers… you name it. The thing is: this respectful pronoun is also „Sie“, but includes everyone, male and female. We have people now shouting at you for using the respectful pronoun claiming they got misgendered. And then the person talking to them is like: „Sorry for using the respectful pronoun for you.“ It’s all about misgendering and being personally offended instead of focusing on the use of language for just one second.
@@stevenalexander6713 And nevermind the fact that two underage people having sex regardless is still illegal and morally wrong. So I have no fucking clue what icedcat is talking about...they need to seek a psychiatrist because they clearly have some deep underlying issues there.
@@nat_halie4511 I think that's by design, these freaks' entire goal is to destroy not just language, but basic communication between humans. Because once you control communication and the transfer of knowledge, you control the entire world.
thank you so much for this video. thank you, as well, for talking about the pick me girl being used as an insult and why it is stupid to assume that just because you are a woman, you have to inconditionally support what other women do. it is utter nonsense. i'm 33 and a substitute teacher, and all i can say is, i am sad for the generation in kindergarten.
The first guy, he repeatedly signified the heart was on the right side, he was very confused.
At the gym, the woman acted like she didn't know what to do with the weights, likely why others looked at her.
He's not only being misgendered, he (she/they/them/what have you) is being misheartened!
The latter is very likely. Next thing you know they'll sue the establishment since nobody is willing to help anymore when they mishandled the heavy equipments and ending up injuring themselves.
“For people [in the last days] will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, inhuman, implacable, slanderers, profligates, brutes, haters of good,” (2 Timothy 3:2-3, New Revised Standard Version).
I still cannot believe these people are apologizing to him if I were them I would have never apologized! Because I’m not going to apologize for what you are!
They might be sacked if they don't, trans fascism is real.
They are apologizing to try and stop him from making a scene. They know its coming. Plus they have to apologize because of their job. Otherwise they will be fired.
They might have decided that it's not worth the trouble
When you work in customer service you have to apologize for things that are not your fault or risk unemployment (which would be so bad if unemployment benefits were over the the poverty line but that’s another issue). Some customers really wanna make you live on the streets for your perceived slights
I would apologize I would say "I'm sorry sir" .
I could watch your content forever. your voice is so relaxing and I love how you explain everything
There was this one time last week where a bunch of cars trying to get out of grocery store parking lot and this guy kept taking selfies(?) and seeing it really opened my eyes about how so many people think they’re main characters and that nothing is gonna happen to them. I swear people now think it’s their world and we’re all just living in it-
Joey B Toonz has some good videos showing this garbage.
4:15 people will stop and stare when they see a car accident, but that doesn't mean that it's pretty.
I'm glad you touched on the inappropriate dressing. As someone who does their best to dress modest, it infuriates me when other women basically say "Screw this, I'm above it all!"
Genuine question, why does it infuriate you?
@sugarycloud9977 Because it feels vulgar. Disrespectful in a way. Our bodies aren't meant to be displays.
@@henryguillen806ok HENRY girl…
@henryguillen806 *yours isn't. Other womens' bodies are none of your damn business.
She also touched on “pick me” girls. Some may say that when a girl says “I’m not like other girls, I dress modestly” is a very Pick Me comment.
You have the choice to dress how you want to dress.
No one should look down on you for dressing modestly. With that said, I would hope you would extend that same bare minimum respect to an adult woman even if you personally would not wear that same outfit.
All roads lead to narcissism.
He was called sir because ... HE IS A SIR!!!
Amen! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
"We are not misgendering them. They are misgendering themselves"
Ur right man i see u
Those "people react to me walking down a street!!!" videos are so funny because it's usually people giving dirty and/or weirded out looks to someone who is obviously annoying and rude in a public space
Oh how he loves to deliver that hurts like a knife in the heart line like the world is his broadway stage.
"I don't know, maybe tell your therapist instead". You just earned a new subscriber. That is almost up there on the level of Candace Owen's "Life's Tough, Get a Helmet, Man".
I watched Sound of Freedom for the first time a couple of weeks ago...so, listening to an adult, lip-stick wearing, biological male whine about how it "hurts to be called "Sir", kind of makes my blood boil.
what the hell does sound of freedom have to do with a random person feeling bad
@@audrey.bllhmrBecause his life is so easy, that he has time to get offended by being called sir when there are literal children who are being sexually abused, raped and trafficked.
@@audrey.bllhmrA man who looks like clown is offended over being called “sir,” especially when he is one, yet there are more serious issues that are worthy of attention than some clown who has nothing else better to do with his life because he took his sexual orientation a little too seriously.

Just tuned in before starting work for my daily dose of TRUTH. Thank you Misha
Thanks for being so sane and sharing your sanity with the world lol ❤️
the horror / suspenseful music you put over peoples tiktoks (to avoid copyright i think?) was so freaking funny
Hi Misha!
I wonder if these narcissists are aware that in many cases a consent form must legally be obtained to show people on camera?
I would enjoy seeing these so called influencers slapped with a civil lawsuit.
As for these narcissists, this behavior demonstrates to me that their parents were failures at raising their children.
In America, there's no reasonable expectation of privacy in public. You're not supposed to show people's children, I do believe, but adults is a no go, unfortunately.
When I cut my hair to basicly buzz cut I was called sir daily. I am biological woman and it bothered me. I didn't screen at every person that made mistake or filmed confrontation. I started wearing makeup, hells and revealing blouses. With time I grew back my hair. I changed myself without bothering everyone.
Have you noticed though? They tend to try to keep it nebulous? The females going for the butch look, the guys for the super girly look?
They put effort into the look they choose.
As you found, it is easy to look feminine with short hair For example, Jacqueline Pierce.
He wasn't misgendered. He IS a SIR!!!!!
He is an idiot not sir 😂😂
He's misgendering himself.
They're female. Have some respect.
@@Valentine98 Female? 🤡 Stop with this nonsense already.
@@Valentine98
Sex = female
Gender: woman
He is:
Sex = male
Gender: man, but thinks he is a woman, transwoman.
It’s funny that most actual women wouldn’t even care to be called sir. We’d laugh, at least the women I know would.
Thanks Misha. It is refreshing to see a young person with some common sense.
Its curious to see how a lot of trends on social media potentialize main character syndrome to the point its getting more and more cartoonish. Another great video and your explanations about this issue are very solid. There is a huge difference between healthy levels of self-esteeem and being a hardcore narcissist, but someone with a strong main character syndrome seems unable to understand this.
It’s reminding me of when I was 12 years old and standing in the mirror thinking I was the most important and prettiest everrrr because I put lipstick on and a boy talked to me that day. Hahaha. I’m all about confidence- to this day even- but when you walk around other people who have different minds, lives and ideas than you but project them to the narcissistic space taking person you are- it’s just annoying. And two things can be right at the same time: 1) you’re beautiful/ handsome or talented or brave AND 2) you are subjecting yourself to people who aren’t trying to even be in your space and don’t owe you SHIT. Also someone looking at you while you flaunt yourself with a camera in front or behind you DOESNT necessarily mean you’re great. With wisdom and grace I’ve learned that the most respected and beautiful are those who don’t need attention to feel valid. Just saying ☺️
Nailed it in the head. The level of narcissism on display everywhere - unashamedly - is getting really creepy.
I'd just add one thing: How do these ideologies work together exactly? Women must stand together no matter what, even if one of them is a dude who just put lipstick on, but women absolutely have their own agency unless told otherwise, and also men know best how to women. Apparently. I give up.
Narcissism is nothing new. I agree with all you’ve said.
I hope my sons find a woman who shares your perspective. Thank you for the video
A knife in the heart? The neutral face and borderline monotone verbal response casts a bit of doubt on her assessment of being misgendered despite making no effort to look like a ma'am. This might be the most blase' display of melodrama I have ever seen.
Her? 😂
@PoppyKat72 I have no interest in dying on the pronoun hill. That is a decision I have made for myself. I still oppose compelled speech. I also believe trans individuals need to work to pass as the gender with which they identify. Blair White for example does so.
@@UncleMikeDrop
(to be clear, I AM NOT MAD- i dont wanna come off that way like "OH YOU DIRTY LITTLE RASCAL, IM GONNA CANCEL YOU!!!"- just trying to be informative and give you my perspective, lol)
as a trans person myself who passes most times, (ftm), some people just.. cant. let it be their voice, their body, lack of resources, etc, its hard for some people to. also, a trans person doesnt have to adhere to gender norms/pass. trans guys can be feminine, have long hair, and still be guys because its how *they* feel and its their right to still be respected. trans girls can be masculine, have short hair, and still be girls because of the same reason. as well as people on the nonbinary spectrum. masc, fem, neutral, whatever. they dont *need* to pass. personally, i will admit, i do get sort of irked when someone has SO MUCH POTENTIAL TO PASS, but they choose not to. but, its not my buisness, or my life, but theirs. so i will still respect them no matter how they present, even if i mess ul a few times (noones perfect, i try my best though because ik how it feels to be misgendered.).
on the misgendering thing, its different for everyone. in my experience, it sucks, cause i try so hard to pass. but, it doesnt like, kill me on the inside, because its not a whole thing. in places where im not out, and im called she, it doesnt botherme that much. its when im out as a guy, and im called she, is when jt makes me uncomfortable. if it were like, alot of people doing it when i am presenting as a guy, like at school, then itd be really hard for me to deal with (i pass for the most part though, so im good for right now). for some people, they might not care even the slightest bit, or they could really REALLY care. and that is absolutely fine!
TLDR; trans people dont need to pass to be still be the gender they are, and misgendering feels different for everyone 🤗
@@heytheresport She takes it too far by filming people for misgendering her(most likely unintentionally). Sure, not everyone can fully pass, but they need to understand that mistakes will be made.
@@UncleMikeDrop agreed. its her exploiting the misgendering thats weird
When I was younger, we had a name for people who thought that everyone was watching them. We called them "psychos".
If I was accused of misgendering, I'd just say "I was talking to the dog".
you make some good points! imo a massive problem is that social media fuels narcissism- the people posting these self-centred videos will get positive feedback (likes etc) which then drives other people to post similar things
I mean if your walking around with a camera following you or your walking like your at a fashion show of course someone’s looking at you thinking who’s this weirdo.
Honestly, depending on the quality of the camera, they might just be trying to figure out if they recognize the person.
The background characters had a look on their face as if wondering "What's with that person?". I bet the people put something on their face.
Hearing about how you're describing how someone people use my 'main character' idea is like an inventor watching people use their invention in horrific and mind boggling ways not intended for its use
So nice to hear someone young intelligent and who speaks properly -thanks Misha !
As a woman this was hard to watch … like I had to pause it so many times ! This is a tough watch
Imagine going out in public recording every interaction you have in hopes of getting misgendered it probably doesnt even hurt him that much
It came out that that big dude looking toward the girl at the gym was actually just waiting for her equipment.
Touching base on the gym girl thing.
As a man, yes, women wearing more provocative attire does make me uncomfortable. It makes me uncomfortable because I am straight and it is visually appealing for me, but this is not the time or place in which I want to be aroused. Cause again, I’m a guy.
I’ve had women wear these shorts and step right in front of my eye view and I am not trying to get in any trouble, yes I see you, but is not my intention to stare at the cease of a women’s ass. I don’t want to tell women what they should wear, but body parts are starting to pop out and I feel like need to walk in blindfolded
For real this is a dilemma I have. I keep hearing men have no right to tell women how to dress. But idk I think it's not that simple. I do think both men and women have to listen to the other sex and act in a way that promotes social cohesion. Like you, I do not go to the gym to be aroused. Please keep your ass out of my face. Yes, as men we have control over our behaviors and I do practice that, but I feel it goes both ways. At a certain point we need to be grounded enough to understand that squatting in front of a guy wearing skin tight booty shorts is likely to provoke a reaction. That is not misoginy, it's just the truth. It's like people who listen to their music loudly in public, on the bus or whatnot. It's rude because others around you did not sign up to listen to your music. As a man, when I'm walking on the street at night, I will make a point to walk on the other side of the street if I see a woman walking my way. Do I have to do that? No, I have a right to be on that sidewalk. But I do it because I know that in that moment I am seen as a possible threat. I do it to make them feel safer. So like I said, these things go both ways.
@@Manoffire97 yea as an avid gym goer, I want everyone to love there bodies and be proud of that progress that comes with it. Which does mean you will be in tighter clothing, most likely. I won’t be a hypocrite and I will admit that a couple times a week I wear shorter shorts for legs days and as my body has grown my shirts have tighten. It’s taken me years to feel good wearing my gym clothes and I’m sure many women adopt the same mentality, but some outfits are just…. I mean there’s a young woman at my gym and the shorts are so short that a slight bend over and I see her actual ass. And yes I completely agree because even though I would want something like this at private at home, right now it’s inappropriate to me. I have great self control, but that literally doesn’t mean test the waters with men either. If the intent is to get a man’s attention for a good purpose…just say hello. And also, not just nighttime. I will take myself and my little dog on the opposite side of the street. Even in the bright mornings and sometimes it is sad because my frenchie wants nothing but to say hello
As a pear shaped curvy girl who works out and is legit built like a thicc Yorha 2B, I am aware of how I dress so my butt cheeks don’t come poppin out and those wedgie pants make ME uncomfortable. I’m attracted to men and women but it grosses me out tbh. If you just grow a butt and wear normal shorts it’ll look good lmao 🤣
I work in a grocery store and see way more boobs and butt than I should on a daily basis, it’s so inappropriate in my opinion and keep in mind this is coming from a cosplayer who dresses in sexy outfits. Like bro I don’t wear lingerie to go buy almond milk wtf 😭
Sounds like a you problem.
You are sexualising her. It’s just a body part. She’s there to workout and doesn’t care about you.
@@Manoffire97 "I do not go to the gym to be aroused"
That's one reason I don't go to gyms.
" I will make a point to walk on the other side of the street if I see a woman walking my way"
I've done this to. And even tho I'm seeing women's bad attitude toward men, I still will do it, because I'm a decent person (nice guy).
Yup! Gender cues are rooted deep in our visual brain. "You Don't Pass" needs to be said more often.
Thanks for the honest and frank observation.
This woman is sharp,really smart and common sense based,u will be successful
I don't know why this is so surprising to some people, but everyone is their own main character.

As a mother of two children, I'm trying to instill this in them. I love you and you're so important to me... but to the majority of others, you're not important (meant in the best way possible.)
This generation does not know what being humble and considerate is. But this goes more than skin deep, in reality these people need love and they need know how to accept and value it.
My dude , our generation as a whole , across the continents , i think , cant be represented by the madness going on , on social media .
While i agree , that there is a lot of flaws being more common , there is a looot of genuine good people , alongside bad , weird people , who i personally believe are the minority .
Social media do a good job , amplifying the ego of some , or just over representing the peculiar , because we seek to see thing we dont usually irl.
like i just started uni , and met alot of people who are nothing like those internet people , thanks to god .
Or maybe because i am not american or western , so our society still quite conservative , but yeah quite the rant i did here
@@louyou6614 Correct and seeing this topic through a broader lenz is certainly something I need to do more, however " these people" are the ones that she was talking about in the video and I think truly highlight what many people in gen z would consider "attention seekers". I see your point though there are so many people that I know in my generation that are considerate and do go against this social media-framed, overreacting sensitive character.
I don't agree about the "this generation" part though. Working in retail all my life (I'm in my fifties) the insane amount of older people who are extremely rude, entitled, and want special treatment is truly horrible. They want the sale price from last week, and throw a huge fit because I should make an exception for them because they "shop here all the time", not realizing that everyone shops here all the time, and you don't see them asking for special treatment. But that doesn't cross their mind. They interrupt a lot. I'll be conversing with a customer while cashing them out, and someone will walk up and just start telling me things, I was taught to say "excuse me" first if I'm interrupting a conversation. But again, it doesn't cross their mind that two other people were in the middle of something. The younger folks don't tend to behave like this. They are mostly kind and respectful. They don't threaten to have me fired, don't make fun of my hearing impairment, it's like night and day. I mean, clearly there are narcissistic young folks as well, as evidenced in these clips. It's disgusting no matter which generation you're in.
@@emilymann1175

But young jerks have social media , and the algorithm tend to love them .

@emilymann1175 yes people do tend to get more cranky when they get old, compared to when they were young and laid back. But these are young people acting like this today, and these young people use the power of social media to try and slander and destroy your reputation.
Very well said.
Yes, it's narcissism. Most "people" in modern society hate themselves deep inside their minds. Their minds are full of hatred, not love. This is why they created their false image of 'perfect me', and act as if they are the 'perfect me'. Their 'perfect me' is physically intimidating, 'scarily rich', and very very very powerful. These "people" do everything to protect their 'perfect me'. They are ready to scare other people out to convince themselves that they are physically intimidating. They are ready to live in debt they can't handle to look 'scarily rich'. They are ready to defraud someone to convince themselves that they are powerful and "smart" enough to steal money from other people with no consequences. They can't make real friends with this mindset.
Their are a lot of influencers who have fake personas for clout on social media. And a lot of teenagers who adapt fake personas in order to give their lives meaning. It's a sad reality
You know, if these people think that they're the main character in life, why do they care so much when someone just happens to glance in their general direction??
Took a break from your channel for several months. Happy to be back, because this is gold - as always.
The woman and man who walk around and film people’s reactions to them is WILD. What will you do when you get older and you aren’t turning heads in the same way on the street?? Definitely told RUclips not to recommend their content to me, that’s some toxic crap.
Everyone is a main character until the Government reminds them that they are just a NPC.
I say I have a healthy dose of main character syndrome- I don't film myself performing in public, I am not entitled etc but like, I guess maybe it's more of romantisizing my normal ish life and just having confidence and feeling like the main character, healthy doses of it
It's one thing to be like me and somewhat view my life as a movie, but it is a whole different thing to be a complete narcissist with absolutely no regard for other people. Just because you view yourself as a "main character," it doesn't give you priority over everyone else in the world and it is no excuse for being rude to people. People with such toxic traits are far too common here in the United States and I am sure they exist in numbers in other parts of the world. It's like being kind to other people is under rated these days. That sounds ridiculous to say, though being on the internet everyday and seeing the kinds of things people post is really proving my point. You don't have to be kind to everyone, though it is insane if all you do is act like a blatant narcissist to everyone you interact with.
Everyone needs to realize you are a "main character" only in one person's life - your own. In every other person's life you are literally nonexistent.
The lack of empathy of these people is absurd
Meanwhile let's put the camera on myself every time I order food just so that I can anticipate my own anger.
Smart phones, cameras, and social media are destroying society….how stupid we’ve become.
