Main Character Energy vs. The We-Perspective

You know that feeling when you’re walking down the street, headphones in, soundtrack blasting, and suddenly the world feels like the background to your personal movie? That’s peak Main Character Energy — MCE if we’re getting fancy. It’s all about your story, your glow-up, your journey. And honestly? There’s nothing wrong with that. Who doesn’t want to feel like the star of their own epic? A little self-love, a little ambition — we all need it.

But something’s been shifting lately. Maybe it’s the aftertaste of a few lonely years, maybe it’s just us finally waking up, but more and more people are craving something beyond the spotlight. Enter Collective Joy — that spark you get when you’re truly in sync with others. When laughter echoes louder because it’s shared, when the energy of a room is bigger than any one person in it.

Think about those viral TikTok dances. Sure, one person might start it, but the magic happens when millions join in. Or the rush after a group workout where everyone’s dripping sweat but grinning ear to ear. Or that late-night conversation with new friends that leaves you buzzing days later. That’s collective joy. And honestly? It’s way too underrated.

Beyond the screen

A recent study found that 75% of Gen Z and millennials say meaningful relationships and community matter more for long-term happiness than individual achievement. We’re moving away from “look at me” and toward “look at us.” And doesn’t that feel like a healthier, happier shift?

So, where does your personal narrative fit into this beautiful tapestry of shared experiences? It’s not about dimming your light, but rather about finding the right people to shine with.

Offline connections

Here’s the truth: being the main character is great, but every main character needs a cast. A crew. People to cheer with, cry with, and say “remember when…” with. And that’s exactly where Huddle comes in. Think of it as your personal joy-squad curator. No endless swiping. No forced small talk. Just 4–5 people in your city, grouped by your pace, your interests, and your social energy — and experiences designed to make connection easy. A board game night. An indie film binge. Or wandering through that new pop-up market you’ve been meaning to check out.

The Motto

It’s about making it easier to shift from “my story” to “our story.” It’s about discovering that the most profound meaning often comes from shared laughter, mutual support, and those unforgettable “remember when we…” moments. So, while your Main Character Energy is valid and vibrant, don’t underestimate the power, and pure, unadulterated fun, of finding your collective joy. Your next adventure, and your next Huddle, awaits!
