I'd like to be someone else from fiction. I'm always obsessing over fictional characters and they're people I want to be. I want to become them, live their life, in their fictional universe, all that. Oddly enough, they're all also male (but then most protagonists are...). Anywho, over the years, House, Data, Spock, Sheldon, and most recently, Abed from the show Community.
Definite trend here. People who have a hard time connecting with their emotions.
But you know the difference between not connecting with one's emotions on tv and in real life? You can make it work on tv. In real life, it just makes you sad. Because obviously I do emote. If I didn't, that would raise a little flag.
What does this say about me in my character choice? And the fact that I'd rather be someone else at all?
I do have self esteem. Not sure if that's relevant or if me saying it invalidates it. I know my character flaws and strengths and all that. Painfully self aware. That's both.
To note: haven't had much sleep, am mentally rambling.
