How and why do I get crushes on fictional characters?
For as long as I can remember, I've loved and related to characters I see on TV and movies. Or read about in books. Or even played as in video games. Ever since I was young, I would get really really emotionally invested in things. So it makes sense that when I engage in any form of fiction, I get attached to the characters and their stories. When I love something, that love runs deep and I get invested in that love. I never really gave a second thought to it until recently while chatting with a friend who mentioned that they never really got that. So of course that got me thinking as to where my affinity for these made up characters came from. As I mentioned before, this goes back to when I was a kid...
