main character syndrome

Furthermore,

Goku is still the main character of the series, and thus by the rules

of the main character syndrome, no one on the same side of the main

character shall surpass the main character, and the main character will

always (eventually) save the day.

What I suffered from is this idea I call the Main Character Syndrome. I know the name is ridiculous, but it sounds like what it is. Main Character types see themselves as a Hero-Savior and everybody else as a secondary prop. The Main Character feels more real than everyone else. It's the same way that infants don't have object permanence: if I don't see it, it doesn't exist. In the case of adults, I count and you don't. I matter more than you.
