#2: Initial revision
I just heard a Fresh Air podcast yesterday about this. (I'm a bit behind in my listening.) [_In 'You're The Worst,' Even The Most Flawed Characters Find Love_](http://www.npr.org/2016/09/29/495931508/in-youre-the-worst-even-the-most-flawed-characters-find-love) The writer talks about using side characters to criticize the self-centeredness of their friends, the protagonists. I recommend [_listening_ to the podcast](https://play.podtrac.com/npr-381444908/npr.mc.tritondigital.com/NPR_381444908/media/anon.npr-podcasts/podcast/381444908/495968957/npr_495968957.mp3?orgId=1&d=2994&p=381444908&story=495968957&t=podcast&e=495968957&siteplayer=true&dl=1) rather than reading the transcript. (You might or might not also like to watch the program itself. I haven't. Also I'm not sure if that would limit your thinking.)
