To like someone so much you become them

The other day I was feeling really depressed, had to go to class (I'm in college) and so I didn't make enough time to come up with a cute outfit, do my hair and makeup like i usually do to feel confident. There is this guy online I like a lot, and I just wished I could be with him instead. So, that morning I said, just wear what he would wear. I got an immense burst of confidence from this, and as I walked to class, in something that would normally make me want to hide (nothing crazy, just horribly unflattering on me I'm sure), I kept telling myself I am him, and it made me happy. It also made me feel a bit of derealisation, but that is nothing new, and it was actually enjoyable, because it was like I was him instead of me. Like cosplaying but as real, non-famous people. IIN?

    It's like putting on a mask, living through a character so much more confident than you. I wouldn't say this is odd, because I interpret it as simply wearing a mask, which a lot of people do. However, you shouldn't idolize people, that's just another way to dehumanize someone. Just be yourself, maybe pretend you're a fictitious character, but pretending to be someone real and know just sounds like you're idolizing them and that doesn't sound healthy or right.

    I tend to be kind of like this except not on purpose. For some reason, when I like a guy, I automatically almost think I am them. It's hard to explain.

    I guess your just still figuring yourself out. You have to find out how you want to be seen by people, how you see yourself, and what works naturally for you. It's okay to try things out, I've done this with celebrities that I admire. So it's not any weirder that he's not a celebrity
