What type of character am I?

This is a question I’ve thought of many times in my life.

Some people say that everyone is the main character of their life, but I’ve always found that to be stupid.

In order to be a ‘Main Character’, I feel that the person has to be unique. When compared with other people they should stand out as someone special. But then again, if this is so, does that mean the ‘Main Character’ loses their status as soon as they meet someone more unique than themselves?

In the end, I guess it doesn’t really matter. After all, I’m not, nor can I become, the ‘Main Character’ that everyone decides to focus their attention on.

Maybe I just have a weird personality, but I can’t stand the thought of being in the spotlight. But then again, I can’t stand the thought of being overlooked either.

Therefore, I’ve decided that I’d be the ‘Number Two’.

Of course, by ‘Number Two’ I don’t actually mean that I’ll always be second in everything. I just don’t want to be as popular as the ‘Main Character’, while at the same time I don’t want to be so generic as to become a ‘Background Character’.

I guess you could call me a ‘Supporting Character’.

When it comes to academics, I don’t aim to be the top student. When going out with my classmates, I’m not the one directing the flow, but I’d never allow myself to be left out of any decision making.

With this sort of personality and thought process in life, I successfully made it into high school.

When most people think of high school, they think of a great place containing both childish dreams and the cold reality of the adult world. A place that’s unlike middle school, with its foolish dreams that rarely work out in the real world. Yet neither is it like college and its rough transition into real society.

Of course, given my personality, none of this really applies to me.

Even though I find it beneath me, as a ‘Supporting Character’ I need to find a main character to support.

Thankfully, I’ve already found a good target. As long as I’m by his side, I should be able to safely play my role without facing any hardships.
