Me & My Wonder Character!

Falling in love with your favourite fictional character.

- S Anshika

We all have moments when we're watching something or reading a book when we can't stop admiring a fictional character. And we all also have that moment when we think 'that character is adorable' or 'if this character exists, we'll be best friends forever.

There's nothing wrong with esteeming fictional characters and seeing them as role models. We can learn a lot from them and they can also help us in shaping our personality for good. We all take excerpts from different characters to build our personalities. However, when you become too obsessed with one character, it can be a sign of a problem. This may indicate that your sense of self is too weak to rely on your own 'self'. You are probably using a fictional character as a crutch for your personality. Children and adolescents have a weak sense of self. So they are more likely to focus on fictional characters.
