You really think you're so important that the entire world revolves around you?
Important? No
Persecuted? Yes.
(See for example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zersetzung.)
To the state, I'm just another dissident for them to crush like a bug.
My existence was outlawed by the CCP for the fact that I was the second one born in my family. The world doesn't "revolve around me", but my existence definitely got on the the government's radar, they got so pissed at their "birth control" law being violated that they send people looking for my mother to terminate me. There are many like me, and most of them did not get a Hukou / have a legal identity (I fortunately did eventually got it and my family was able to leave the country) so they couldn't even get income or ride a train (since those needs IDs).
Sorry I'm having anxiety attacks, so my mind just thinks all the negative thoughts.

Because that sounds like main character syndrome stuff.
Oh sorry, that's my anxiety talking lol
