Is it normal that i constantly fantasize about a fictional character?

I am a 20 year old girl with a normal social life. I am a medical student at the university, so most of the time I study. Maybe it is this slightly boring routine that has made me fantasize about this fictional character.

During the summer holidays I started watching an anime series and I really became a huge fan of it -especially of one of the main characters. It's not like it's ruining my social life but I am having "conversations" with him in my head, thinking about him before I go to sleep and so on. I almost feel like he is a part of my life.

I have always been an active daydreamer...

    The question reminded me of myself when I was like 11, I was in love with a character from one of my favorite animes. I had a lot of fictional crushes but this one was the main one. He wasn't a main character actually, he only appeared in a few episodes.

    Anyway, regardless of your age I don't see a problem, as long as it doesn't get in the way of your life.

    Hey I'm an active daydreamer as well.

    Honestly this is extremely normal, and I really can't stress that enough. Fictional characters can just come off as better people than the ones that exist around you.

    Is the series Attack on Titan because if so, you are preaching to the choir, my friend.

    If it makes you happy I don't see what is wrong with it ! I've been daydreaming about a fictional character for years, and it actually helped me through very bad/lonely parts of my life.

    You sound a lot like me. I always go through these phases where I obsess over certain fictional characters. In fact, I tend to become very bored if I am not interested in at least a couple of characters at a time.

      Oh my, same here! It gives me inspiration, real people leave so little to the imagination.

        I know what you mean. My favorite characters are my muses. If I'm not interested in one character or another, I don't have any reason to do arts and crafts. My drawing skills actually deteriorated over the past two years because I went through a "dry spell" where I wasn't interested in any particular characters.

        I find real people to be frustrating more than anything else; admittedly because they're so unpredictable, unlike fictional characters, who I can bend to my will.

          Oh, I am glad to see there are more people like this out there! It can be nice to meet people, but I very oftan stay at home fantasizing about characters and/or drawing. You sound SO much like me.

    That's what happens when obsession manifests itself in ones mind
