I tend to give my MCs plenty of irritants but rarely anybody who does enough to be a true antagonist.

There is one short story with an antagonist that the MC was not even aware of. One WIP was supposed to have an entire cadre of villains but
i. I don't know enough Americans to feel comfortable writing them
ii. my MCs create enough issues just being themselves.

Antagonists are a popular concept, I am beginning to wonder why I hardly ever use them.

@CatFoxBirdLady that is exactly it for this story too. She has enough issues. She doesn't need extra burden 😂
