Is it normal to be usually attached to fictional characters?

83% Normal
19 Comments

As far as I know, I have never been totally attached to a real life being in reality ever since I was born but only towards my parents. I prefer to be around someone who is very much a "spontaneous" looking type if you rather and has no complicated traits about them that I find hard to understand and appalling... I like the ones that look sexually attractive but still can spark up my life in a fun happy healing way. I usually get this feeling from Vegeta and sometimes Osmosis Jones/Ozzy and Jak(video game).

It's like I view them as a potential partner but I understand they are not real but my mind doesn't seem to care about that when I'm around these creatures.

I try very hard not to appear superficial but I can't help the fact that this is what I'm in to...

If this is normal, do I mind knowing if some others have had the same real feelings too?

    Judging from your previous responses, did you pose the initial post to vent or are u actually open to people's opinions on the matter? In case you're wondering, I'm not trying to be sarcastic, that's a real question.

      Absolutely not.. I'm open to guidance when it suits me best but I felt the main response was a bit unfair. I shouldn't have to tone down how I feel because of someone's lack of understanding of the manner. To me, it's like saying I have to settle with broken shoes.

      I know characters of fiction are totally not real but I can't help how I feel about them based on their positive impact on my life.

      I don't mean to vent if I appear to be. I could go about this in a different manner but I have a constant history of people telling me that I shouldn't isolate myself from people due to how I feel about them and it triggered me. >< I think they can't understand that due to having success with relationships and never falling rock bottom to the similar issue I had.

        I actually asked b/c I think I understand where you're coming from, but I'm just not 100% sure.

        I think it's normal to have certain connections with fictional characters. Mine are never through video games or anything like that, though, although I do understand when guys have them that way. For me it was always books & certain TV shows, but not just any. For a long time I would rather feel a connection with fictional characters than with people because like you, I had higher standards for the people around me than the actual people I had in my life. I knew the fictional characters weren't real, but I CHOSE to connect with them. I'm not sure if it's the exact same thing you're talking about, but u can just let me know.

        It has nothing to do with finding a relationship later with other people; that's completely irrelevant as far as I'm concerned. It's simply being able to tell the difference between fantasy & reality and u sound to me as if u have no problem telling the difference between the two.

          Oh that's understandable. I'm not good at keeping myself clear to people but i appreciate you trying.

          Yes exactly. Actual people are not what I'm usually fond of but I understand they are here to stay.

          I just don't have the energy to choose in bonding with them but if so, it's very little bonding energy I would invest in...

          Yeah. And I do. Fantasy is more like me having control but the perfect thing about it is that I don't want to have control. Smiles. I would prefer to be in a reality where I don't have to think about how things should function in my life.

          Thank you for replying and giving a thorough explantation of the matter.

            You and I actually sound like we have a lot in common.

              Heh. rubs back of my head. Well, I would say so except I'm not very strong willed in my daily actions to do something important all the time. I'm pretty much childish but you sound way more mature than me. smirks.

    I feel the same way and yes Vegeta is super sexy.I mean he dose have that superficial charm ,but as much as it is to chase a imaginative character real thing is still real thing.I think your view on humans are a little unrealistic. I think what you want is someone to understand you inside and outside, but at the same time you think nobody is perfect for your standards and like most humans you cant find someone interesting.To tell you the truth in reality nobody is going to stand that kind of bullshit.People i general are very confusing beings and saying that you want less complicated life is like saying that you dont need air to bread.I feel your conflict starts when you see how everything is not perfect and magical.But there is cure for that lower your standards and be yourself. You dont need some fictional character to make you a bather person and if you have guts maybe,maybe some real life person will forgive you for the cold shoulder you are obviously giving to human race and bring you back to real world to experience true happiness and love.Remember unrealistic and realistic dont mash , one day you will have to decide what is for the best if you want to be loved you need a partner that will give you feeling that even thou everything is boring only his presence makes up for cold reality.

      I don't need their "forgiveness". You and no one else has a heaven or hell to put me in.

      How is it unrealistic to view people that way? It's like telling a gay man he should give women a try. Heh. It's fine that nobody will. I'm not looking for them this why I'm giving them the unwasted time to not interact with me in tthat way.

      That's true. I do see things not working out in a way that fits my thinking or liking but it doesn't mean I should initially lower my standards. I don't need forgiveness from them.. I don't but I did have them help me make me see things a different way in my life. Who's to tell what the future holds? I can't rely on your thinking.

      If no one is going to stand for that bs then you can tells I'm not meant to be them then.

      I think the problem you're having with this is that anything that doesn't pertain or cater to you or a group of people is something wrong.

      I'm not going to tolerate somebody who has traits I don't like. End of discussion.

    What does felting worst than me have anything to do with the post? Im not here to compare who had it bad. I don't see how the response came off rude but basically,according to me ,you were implying that I didn't have a choice and SHOULD lower my standards to succeed in a "real relationship". Thats impossible as i clearly stated. Its like youre generalizing people as if there is nothing to avoid about them. I understand and I apologize for what has happened in your experience related to this subject and can see as well that I too want someone to vaildate me as I am as a wonderful thing.

    I'm fine thank you. Smiles.

    Okay i cant listen to this unfair and rude comment.I had felt worst then you.My mother wanted to send me to crazy house because i belived fictional characters are real.And my father hit me and told me that he would kill me if i dont become normal again.I didnt have that much success in relationship if that is possible but i didnt mope around i fought and fought until i got out of bad situation whit them.I dont tell them that much anymore out of fear but also because they are too dense to understand.I only wanted someone to reach a point where they can say im free to feel and be with whoever i want.I guess im just as pissed at the world as you are, but hey nobody is perfect.And sorry if i offended your belifes wasnt intended.I if you isolate from people thats fine do what you feel is right.
