As @padzdey explains, there is nothing malicious about the expression; it’s all about setting up, for the first time in most cases, self-protective boundaries. People will start to think tha t you believe you are better than them, they might even confront you and say nasty things. But that is further proof that you don’t need them in your life anymore. Think of a villain, and your mind might skip to dark lairs, evil deeds, and questionable moral decisions. But, it’s not a bad thing at all and you are healing parts of yourself in the process. Here are 7 ways to fully indulge in your villain era: 1. Set boundaries In general, a person’s switch to focusing on themselves if they have historically been worrying about the needs of others can cause upset—or the perception that a person is a “villain.”

This makes sense, given that women in general are molded to be agreeable and pleasant. As reported by USA Today, women are generally taught to say “yes,” and that “no” should be a word sparsely in one’s vocabulary. When we talk about a villain era, we’re not talking about hurting people, or engaging in activities that are harmful. We’re talking about cutting out the people-pleasing and other niceties we’ve been conditioned to perform (even when people don’t deserve it). It’s about putting yourself first and cutting out toxicity unapologetically–no matter how selfish others perceive it to be. Because, in reality, the villains are the true main characters of any movie. Right?You want everyone to be happy with you and you are afraid of conflict so you go along to get along. In a blog post by Abby Birk of Riverbank Therapy, the licensed therapist pens plans for how to “embrace your own parts that others have deemed villainous to their own oppressive agendas.” She also gives insight on why we choose to people please, and advice on how to integrate the “villain era” into work life, partnerships, familial relationships, and more. And finally, to fully embrace villain-era dressing, you have to lean into the ethos of genuinely caring what other people think of you. No, it’s not a hall pass to like not be accountable for your actions, but instead, it’s the freedom to release the pressure to keep up with it all. Forget the 10-step skincare routine. Forget feeling the pressure of virtual signaling and just grieve. Your villain era is releasing all of that and embracing the beautiful mess of life right now.

Setting boundaries can be very difficult because in doing so you are teaching people how to treat you. And when you do this, people won’t like it. Re evaluate your priorities These aren’t easy questions, nor are they uncommon. Although this is undoubtedly not the reason why most people stay in one’s life, it’s easy to believe it, forcing a person to continue the facade of excess support and willingness far beyond their means.Some of the steps in Bulloch’s process are implementing boundaries, rejuvenating aesthetics, and “getting your sh*t together.” The actions under these steps include taking a look in your life at who drains you and uplifting yourself with “aesthetics” such as drinking from fancy cups without reason. Do you struggle with putting everyone else’s needs before your own? Are you feeling drained because people are overstepping your boundaries? Do you feel like you are a people pleaser? If you answered yes to one of these, this post is for you. Today, we are going to talk about the villain era. I’ll explain what it is, why you should step into your villain era and 5 simple ways to get started. What is the Villain Era? Kelly says, “Leading up to the full moon in Sagittarius on June 14th, Sagittarius may run into some issues regarding communication. Watch out for impulsiveness in conversation, it may lead to some unkind words being said without much forethought. If a Sag in your life is not willing to play nice this summer, then watch out, as feelings may be hurt.” Those displaying “ main character syndrome” often treat those around them like supporting characters, and though it started in a similarly uplifting place, it’s now understood to be largely negative.

The “villain era” is a phenomenon that’s swept the internet. Though negative sounding, a person in this stage of their life is not committing misdemeanors. The term has many connotations, all pertaining to mental health and meaning someone who has decided to prioritize their own being. What does ‘villain era’ mean?Those entering their "villain era" have decided to stop being nice and start getting theirs. Most people's villain eras are marked simply by them being more assertive and less of a pushover (not really that villainous). However, some people's villain eras are a bit more intense, and involve lying, stealing, and taking revenge on those who have wronged them. Tenacious people-pleasers who previously neglected to communicate needs and boundaries are for the first time prioritizing themselves ahead of others. This is where the “villain” part of the phrase comes up; this change in behavior can be jarring and ill-received by others when they are used to someone’s original demeanor. The sooner you’re you, the sooner you will find people that are looking for you. Why are you trying to fit yourself into spaces you’ve outgrown? Why are you trying to force relationships with people that aren’t treating you with reciprocal love and respect? Upon first glance at this post, you might think that the villain era means a period of your life where you are an actual villain. Where you’re unkind to the people around you. I want to be very clear when I say that is not what the villain era is about.

All brands reaching Gen Z have something to learn from the ‘ villain era ’ trend. Gen Z are the most likely group to report mental health struggles, and as digital natives, this generation are turning to online sources such as TikTok to learn about their mental health . It’s no surprise to see them also using social media to create more light-hearted content about self-empowerment – and ‘ villain era ’ is a perfect example of this.But, in typical Gen Z fashion, nothing is quite as it seems. As usage of both terms has continued, definitions have shifted slightly. While “entering your villain era ” is well-established as a method of reclaiming your time and focusing on your own needs , “ main character syndrome”, ironically, is now internet shorthand for exactly the kind of self-centeredness you’d expect from a villain. Question is, why do people even need any terminology to define a completely normal lifestyle; a lifestyle where you are cognisant of your anger, of your boundaries being breached and are true to your needs, not letting anyone walk over you. The need for a term is up for debate. For many people, the feeling of being suffocated because they are barely able to rustle up a no, probably needs some sort of validation and the self-preserving nature of the villain era makes sense to them. It is time to walk out on the guy that leaves you on read and find pleasure in things that make you happy.
