(Anonymous) 2012-08-27 11:41 pm (UTC)(link)When I found a character on TV I could identify with more than anyone else before or since, it was because I saw a lot of myself in that character. She had a number of neuroses and character traits that I also share, and thus I could identify with her because, for 16 episodes, I felt that the story could have been written about me. It's not about inserting yourself into their skin, it's about realising that that skin also fits you pretty snugly.
In essence, it's crossing the plexiglass line between watching characters on TV and feeling as though you're watching a fanfic of your own life. And if that fanfic is better than your own life it can become something to aspire to.
(Of course, it doesn't always work out perfectly - I'm male and she's not, and the supporting cast has characters whose equivalents I haven't met yet..)
