I watch Anime and such. I mentally form unrealistic realities with figures. I have a strong obsession with transformation (half to full demon , human to vampire , ect.) I think of them as real people and that I can be with them. Is it normal or am I crazy and lonely?
no you're definitely not crazy! So many people do that. You can fine a bunch of these people all over the internet like on tumblr . Perhaps you are lonely. When you get lonely you crave human interaction. Since you interest in a lot of anime, you fall in love with the characters and you start to wish you knew these people. What I do is I make up fake scenarios in my head and have conversAtions with these certain fictional characters. Just watch your thoughts if it goes too far and starts to drive you insane. If you feel it could turn into a problem, I would ask someone with experience in mental health education about it.
I agree with loony that perhaps it's a means of satisfying your unmet social needs. If you have social anxiety, maybe these fictional characters are a safe way to experience the human connection you crave, with no risk of getting hurt. I do the same thing with fictional TV characters (not anime, though).
You're not normal, yet you're not crazy nor a loser. You just have an active imagination and a want for something better than what life can offer (a regular human). I use to watch a lot anime too, and would catch up on some anime and, or manga if I had the free time. I see nothing wrong with this, people constantly want something more to life than what life truly has to other and I can't blame them, there's a reason why there's so many books, movies, and vocal novels about supernatural powers and monsters. People want and like them. Hell I won't lie, if I had the choice to be a super human hybrid between a demon and a human I would be, and I know I am not the only one. If anyone could be superiorly stronger and have some type of abnormal power over someone else they would (this is something that applies to everyone). Not saying you should act on it and try to look at them in a realistic matter for it'll never happen. Unless people want to take another step at defying mother nature and tampering with human DNA. (please don't try this, the world is already as f*cked up as it needs to be)
I do this, I know this sounds wrong but when my gran died-i was sorta close to her- and she died, of course I felt sad though I never cried but when I saw the death of one of my anime crushes, Itachi Uchiha's death I had a break down even though he never shown much within the Naruto series.I cried for Deidara and any other anime characters I've witness cry or die.
I actually believe that anime worlds exist and that the 'creators' are just people that can dream of them, finding their existance while they never even knew about it...weird yes I know.
And I get attached to anime characters that I constantly write stories in class and draw what I would look like in the 'shows'.
...That is all.
