“You’re not the main character” also applies to thinking that you’re so uniquely horrible that everyone you meet is deeply invested in judging and hating you. That’s just as much of a cognitive distortion as believing that you’re the center of everyone’s admiration. I promise you that other people got their own lives to live and their own struggles and flaws to cope with.
Welp guys, looks like I might have figured it out. My sister pinpointed exactly how one this one thing with this one guy screwed my head over a bit. Now I’ve got something concrete to work through with my new therapist! I’m on my way to being a better and healthier person overall and I love it :3
