Not sure what main character syndrome is and why its embarrassing AF, then check out exhibit A: Arizona’s Sen. Kyrsten Sinema. The delusion is real — and dangerous.

Sinema is seemingly undeterred by her re-election prospects, attributing to herself a significant role in safeguarding the Senate, according to a new book Romney: A Reckoning.

The book, penned by reporter McKay Coppins, recounts an exchange between Sinema and Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah, where Sinema expresses confidence in her opportunities beyond the Senate, hinting at potential board positions or a tenure as a college president, Insider reports.

"I don't care. I can go on any board I want to. I can be a college president. I can do anything," Sinema said, according to the book. "I saved the Senate filibuster by myself. I saved the Senate by myself. That's good enough for me."

One of Sinema's aides said that Coppins' passage in the book may have been misinterpreted.

"Private conversations are easily misconstrued and mistaken during the game of telephone," Hannah Hurley told Insider in a statement. "When asked about whether she was concerned that her stance on the filibuster could endanger her reelection changes, Kyrsten stated what she has stated for years now; she is not worried about winning the next election, and instead she is laser-focused on her ability and the Senate's ability to deliver lasting results for our country."
