Yeah, this bothers me too. However, I do think it's fine to RELATE to Sherlock Holmes or to find qualities of him that are in yourself.

For instance, I like science, I am viewed by most as kind of eccentric, I'm a bit socially inept sometimes (although I'm almost never blatantly rude to anyone), and I have bipolar disorder where sometimes I do feel like all of the world's information is hitting me at once. I see these qualities in Sherlock Holmes, and it helps me relate to the character, both in ACD canon and in BBC Sherlock (which is my drug of choice). Sometimes I even joke with my best friend that we are Sherlock and John (she's reliable, she keeps me grounded, she's very intelligent, and she's secretly a little mad herself).

Do I think we're ACTUALLY Sherlock and John? FUCK NO.

Sherlock is arrogant and rude and completely brilliant and also has some parts of him that are pretty dark and scary. John is a complete womanizer and an adrenaline junkie and a doctor. They both deal with murders and dying all the time. We're just not them. But it's fun to empathize and pretend.

However, I will make an exception to this rule, and this is neither here or there. My ex boyfriend is TOTALLY BBC John Watson. I kind of actually look at John in a whole different light now because to get a core personality like his you have to go through some seriously really really bad shit. Poor John :(

tl;dr: It's fun to pretend, but also I believe in very rare exceptions because twenty years from now if my ex-boyfriend isn't chasing around some sort of brilliant madman I will definitely be surprised
