The Main Character in All of Us

What if your story isn't about healing, but hiding?

You've been told to take up space. To shine. To be the main character.
But what happens when the spotlight becomes a mask-and connection becomes performance?

In The Main Character in All of Us, Ethan Solace takes you on a raw, poetic, and psychologically immersive journey into the hidden costs of central character syndrome. Part reflection, part reckoning, this groundbreaking book explores what it means to live through a self that must constantly be seen-and what it costs to those who can't see themselves in your story anymore.

Through emotionally visceral chapters, powerful reflections, and unforgettable writing, this book confronts:

• Why we perform instead of connect

• The slow burn of curated relationships and aesthetic healing

• The grief of becoming unforgettable-but unknown

• The people we ghost, rebrand, or leave behind to stay central

• And how to find our way back to presence, softness, and truth

Whether you're trying to understand someone lost in their own narrative-or you're ready to stop performing your life-this book meets you exactly where you are.

It won't ask you to be better.
It will ask you to be real.
