Notes:

Sorry, early today!

Also: I'm not going to officially warn for tongue-in-cheek "triggers" just to provide anyone with a fandom-specific in-joke when there are none in the secret.

Re: Whom do you identify yourself with?

[case]

...nope, never. Is that weird? I LIKE characters but being like "oh that guy is/acts/thinks just like me! yay!" has never ever happened to me.

Re: Whom do you identify yourself with?

ayrt

No, I don't think it's weird. That was the case for me until I discovered "Catch-22" and watched LoTR (surprisingly, only the film!Gollum works for me not the book! one - then again, I was really little when I read Tolkien).

IDK what it depends on, though? The aptitude for empathy? The attitude towards fiction?

There're also those characters I don't exactly identify with but rather whom I understand well - like, everyone by Borges or, for example, Luzhin from Nabokov's "The Defense".

Re: Whom do you identify yourself with?

[case]

I doubt it's a sympathy/empathy thing - like understanding why and how a character would do/think/feel what they do, or knowing "if I were them in this situation, this is how I'd feel/think/act" is different from "omg, I would do the same (even if I weren't them)!" and all.

I can roleplay characters who aren't like me at all and be perfectly fine at that, but then if asked "would you say you are like your character" it'd be kind of ...? huh? what? No?
