I understand! Sometimes bluntness seems more honest than kindness so i xan more easily believe "you think you're useless? ...well, that's dumb" than platitudes. Besides, go with whatever works!

I think it's sometimes more a mark of how the character is being written. Generally though I agree that fandom can sometimes miss the point, and not realize a character is supposed to be dealing with huge emotional problems - so yes, they're "annoying." Urgh.

I don't think this is that weird. Sometimes, it's gratifying to know someone understands and empathizes with you. Other times, it's gratifying to know people think your negativity-filled insecurities are so unrealistic that they think there's no truth to your negative thoughts. I think it depends on the person who thinks this. A friend of yours who's a bit dim but loves you a lot? Feels great. A therapist or a parent? Not so great.

I can sort of get it...eh, whatever works for you?

Dude, if it makes you feel better and helps you think about how your perceptions of yourself might be incorrect, I don't think there's anything wrong with it.

Agreeing with other commenters here. I think it's understandable, and if it helps and makes you feel better about yourself, I think it's a good thing. :)

It tends to be lip service. It doesn't endear me to characters since I think writers just tack on self-hatred to make people feel sorry for them "See how humble they are!!"

[(Anonymous)]

Sometimes this is the case. But sometimes not, it's sometimes an integral part of a character's personality.

Sometimes, sure, but one of my favorite characters is very realistically portrayed as dealing with depression (it even gets worse during the rainy season!) and anxiety, despite the fact that (and sometimes because) he can do some pretty amazing things. Part of why I love him is because I can identify so strongly with him, and I've never come across a character before who embodies so well the issues that I've had.

Really, I think it's just a good writing vs. bad writing thing.

This makes me feel happy. I'm also pretty down on myself at most times so knowing that something like this makes you feel better about yourself makes me feel happy for you.
