Sonder - the profound feeling of realizing that everyone, including strangers passing in the street, has a life as complex as one's own, which they are constantly living despite one's personal lack of awareness of it.

The inverse:
Or Main Character Syndrome, which is the other side of things. The default is somewhere in the middle, varying with the individual. It's probably harder to not see yourself as central most of the time (but not necessarily Main Character), simply because of being trapped in that viewpoint.
Some days this idea feels less true than others.
Great band name
It's a bit long, don't you think?
Don't be hatin' on STPFORTEISPITSHALACAONWTACLDOPLOAOI!
I admire your dedication to the bit
Tbh if you released some suuuuper pretentious indie/prog/experimental shit under this I wouldn't even question it.
What if you actually can distinctly remember other people's embarassing moments?
Does it help?
Gives me the occasional giggle, also the occasional pang of sympathy as I recognize more of the shit they were going through day to day.
It can give you a reality check. You might've done cringe shit but so have others so it's not as big of a deal
I still clearly remember others' embarrassing, cringey moments from my high school years, and I'm in my 40s now. I shudder thinking about who still remembers the embarrassing things I said/did way back in my childhood.
Probably because you're friends with this embarassing excuse for a person.
I knew a guy who got caught masturbating in his car in a public parking lot
There was a kid in middle school same year as me. Can't remember his real name. He got caught paddling the school canoe in the little boys room. Like three times. Everyone called him "Sticky" after that. He dropped out, tried to convince his family to move. His brother was cool tho.
This guy has me dead to rights.
If you need me, I'll be in the closet crying.
I know what you did last summer
and it was pretty embarrassing
I feel 3rd party embarassement (I am embarassed seeing someone else do something cringey) more than 1st party (feeling embarassed by my own cringe) so I know this ain't true. I think about how embarassing YOU are all the time.
As a child, told my mom I'd didn't like Laverne and Shirley because I was embarrassed for them, for their antics. Apparently I had loads of empathy, then and now. Doesn't mean I haven't done evil shit! The evil shit is what makes me feel awful. I can hadle being embarrassed. All I can do is try to put more good in the world than evil.
As you get older, something else happens. The people that were present at that cringy moment of yours die off. You may find yourself the only living person witness to the event. It helps. Not as much as it should but it does help.
I know it's an embarrassing moment, but damn, you don't have to kill them off 💀
Nah, we all still remember how Caligula tried to pick a fight with Poseidon and how cringe that was
You can also speed this process up if you want to!
If you wait by the river long enough, the bodies of your enemies will float by.
About the only embarrassing moments I can recall of other people's actions, they didn't know, at the time, that they should have been embarrassed.
If I worries about every single cringe thing I've ever done, I'd be in constant agony.
I definitely have some other people's cringe moments living rent free in my mind for years
This meme is definitely not true.
I wish it was, sorry.
I fucking do. Now what?
I like turtles.
I can accept that now.
Jonathan the zombie‽
This but unironically.
