@guts Feeling connection with a fictional character isn’t wrong and you don’t need to feel guilt for it. I’m not judging you, I’m so obsessed with a character I just got a tattoo that has to do with them. My desktop wallpaper is also said character and I just bought an expensive poster of them too. If feeling connected to a fictional character makes you feel happy, then that’s okay. If the fixation slowly dies out that’s okay, the character isn’t disappearing, nothing is changing about them. You can always go back to that character if you decide you want to. In my opinion this is a situation where nobody gets hurt. It’s not like losing feelings for a real person, you aren’t going to hurt a character’s feelings. Sometimes we create problems where there doesn’t need to be any.

@Mitchell As far as wondering if you love the character, the answer in my opinion is both yes and no. The character has a lot of meaning to you and you love that. That doesn’t necessarily mean you’re in love with them either though.

@guts Nobody gets to decide what your feelings are but you. If this is what helps keep you happy I see nothing wrong with that. Who cares if he’s a villain, the character I mentioned earlier is a villain too lol. I obviously can’t decide for you whether your feelings are fake or not, you have to decide that for yourself, but maybe therapy could help too.

@guts You don’t always get some fancy magical rush, you get comfortable. The big magical rush is mainly just the honey moon phase. It still happens on occasion, but it stops happening as frequently as it once did.

@guts Of course, you deserve the best too
