TikTok words we didn't need:

> main character syndrome

i.e. when a person has the idea that they're the main character of their own life and are somehow more significant than their friends.

but we already have words for that...

> egotist
> self-centred
> self-absorbed

there are also the closely related sarcastic remarks "snowflake", "your highness" and "princess".

@thor "main character syndrome" describes itself very well and extends to things like thinking one is special and normal rules don't apply to them like for story protagonists.
