OP

I'll allow that I'm still early on in the book, but Egyptia's overreactions (like her being unhappy because she has greatness in her but doesn't know what to do with it, always crying and going to the extreme with whatever she's thinking) and Jane's...I guess dependence on others -- her mother, Clovis, etc. I mean, I'm a quarter of the way in, so she's clearly taking action now that she's met this man/robot, but even her reaction to him, her pain of seeing him court her friend, etc. Etc. Man, it all resounded too well lol.

It's not that I'm completely like these characters, it's just I find the parts of me that I find to be weaknesses are all personified in them, and I'm practically twice their age, which makes me wonder if I've grown at all. I know I have, so maybe the discomfort is just a knee jerk reaction to seeing myself/the parts I want to be better. If that makes any sense? Also, like most people, I'm my own worst critic, so I'm also likely not as much like them as I think I am.

I think it definitely makes us all kind of take a step back if we are identifying with a character and then you realize 'oh, wow, okay, that's the DRAWBACKS of the character, arrgh!!!'

So yeah, I get that. But - like you say - we're our own worst critic, and it's very hard to know were we 'are' in life. I mean - in my head, my brain, I still feel like i'm 18 or 20, so....who knows?
