The true funniest thing about Breaking Bad is that Walter White is only the main character because he has main character syndrome, fundamentally believes that it straight-up doesn't make sense for something to happen if it's Not About Him, and when something is happening that's about someone else, he inserts himself into the situation until it ends up about him

There are multiple times where something is happening regarding Jesse and he literally outright states that he doesn't believe it makes sense for something to be about Jesse, hyper-analyzes the situation for ways it could be directed at him, and retaliates, forcing everyone to address him and turning the situation into one that's About Him

The entirely of season 3 and 4 is him doing Charles Manson-level decoding of his boss' actions, the bulk of which turned out to be the final steps on a Count Of Monte Cristo revenge machine against someone else which started 20 years before they met. But he was so convinced all of them were coded messages to him specifically that he threw himself into the works of the revenge machine, killing everybody and declaring himself the winner of a multi-decade blood feud he was not part of
