    I’ve had a lot of people, women especially, lecture me about what ‘character’ i am from a book or movie I am, and when I investigate the reference it’s makes no sense to me because it’s always totally different characters, again usually just one dimensional, really more caricatures really. And it tells me a lot about how they see the world that they judge other people as caricatures, especially when you first meet them.

    I remembered how at the age of 12, after watching a videos on YouTube, I took tests on the Internet, what kind of character I am, by some similarities with him or something like that, I am so ashamed.

    personally I’ve noticed people who heavily identify with fictional characters have a tenuous grasp on reality and exaggerated emotional reactions to mundane things, like minor inconveniences or miscommunications are distorted into grudges or day/week ruining events. also a proclivity to believe if destiny/fate/mystic forces, rather than people’s choices.

    Here you are practically right, I am not sure if this is really so, but perhaps in most cases it is.
