I...feel like half the people here (OP included) are over-complicating something that's very simple.

To identify with something means that you see something in it that reminds you of an aspect of yourself. That's it. That's all it is. It doesn't mean you have some magical revelation or that it allows for an alternate version of you or that there's a "fanfic about your life" or that you think you are that character or that you want to live in that character's skin/world.

Say there's a character that's an activist feminist, and you're an activist feminist. You think, "oh, that's cool; someone wrote a character that shares my point of view." There! You just identified with the character. You may not empathize or sympathize with the character; you may not worry about what's going to happen to the character. You may be completely emotionally detached. It doesn't matter, because that's something different.

Thank you. Was wondering if OP was like autistic or something.

Asperger's, which is close enough, I guess.
