Re: Character overidentification

(Anonymous) 2013-09-07 08:27 pm (UTC)(link)
That never makes sense to me, because when I overly identify with a character, it's usually because I identify with their flaws at least as much with their good qualities. Who has such a high opinion of themselves that they can't own up to their own flaws, at least somewhat? Am I the weird one here?

Pointing out character flaws is different from an attack though -- if a character you identify with gets called "useless" or something that actually just plain isn't true, that's an attack, and that has nothing to do with acknowledging their flaws and owning up to your own.

Ah fair enough then

I will say I'm guilty of this, but only when it's a complaint friends have. For instance, I've had a friend or two tell me how much they hate Ron Weasley, and as someone who identifies with Ron a LOT (most especially with his flaws), it strikes me as odd that these people are then friends with me.

I mean, that's just my take.

There's also a difference between admitting your flaws to yourself, and hearing someone else picking at the flaws [even if it's indirect like here.]

Or, to put it another way, "I call myself a bitch because it hurts less when I do it."
