I think I'm the main character but what if I'm actually an NPC in my own life? Analyze my patterns: am I making decisions or reacting? Am I creating or consuming? Am I living intentionally or just existing? Then reality-check my main character claim: main characters take action, face conflict, change and grow, make hard choices, and drive the plot. NPCs follow scripts, avoid conflict, stay the same, make safe choices, and watch others' lives happen. Map my last year: where did I actively create vs. passively experience? Where did I take risks vs. play it safe? Show me the brutal truth: am I living like a protagonist or an extra? Then give me the choice: you can be the main character but it requires main character energy - action, risk, agency, conflict, and growth. Are you willing to do that or do you just want the aesthetic? Include: where I'm performing main character vs. living like background character, what main character life would actually require that I'm not willing to give, and whether I want to lead my life or just watch it.
