WHy is everyone so obsessed with ~relating~ to characters? Can't you find characters interesting even if you don't relate to them?

This attitude has always struck me as supremely narcissistic in the extreme on the parts of both readers and the writers who pander to them -- "I can't care about anyone unless I see myself in them waaaahhh!"

Interesting, maybe. But even so, I'm not likely to care about them. When I think about works of fiction that I love, I can usually relate to a majority of the characters involved, no matter how different they are. There's usually at least one characteristic of theirs that I identify with.

Without that, I can't connect to them. If I can't connect to them on any emotional level, then no matter how interesting their plight, I do not care.

(Mostly I'm thinking of Katniss here. I could not relate to her, I didn't care for her narration, and as a result, since the first book is entirely her POV, I lost interest & never finished the series.)

For me, it's more important when a story is told from a first person perspective. If I think the character is interesting I'll be on board. But I find I enjoy it more if what the character is thinking I can relate to instead of constantly questioning it. It's like being in the head of someone I don't hate, but don't particularly. It's just not that interesting. As opposed to being inside the head of someone I really hate/like.
