POV: you fell in love with a fictional character

Thank you for everyone who interacted with this short!!💕

I honestly wasn't expecting it to be getting so many views.. I just had this scenario in my head while listening to this song and decided to draw my feelings out at this case👀

And I was definitely shocked at how many comments I've seen that said how this short made them cry.. that's like the biggest compliment for me lmaooo

Anyways, song is ceilings by Lizzy Mcalpine!

POV: You wanted to be schizophrenic

Me judging Riley from inside out for making in imaginary boyfriend and years later making one unintentionally 💀

I've read a few psycology studies that say your feelings towards the fictional character are valid and real, and completely normal to have. It can serve as a healthy coping mechanism and comfort, but it's still important the engage in relationships and friendships with real people. Keep a balance. The only saddest part is that your feelings for that character can never be reciprocated, whereas with real people there is a chance they can feel the same way. But alot of people prefer fictional characters over real relationships because there's no risk of being betrayed or hurt with them, unless you want them to ofc. It feels safer for alot of people, especially if they've encountered or fear being hurt by real people. It's understandable. But it's still important to find healthy real relationships to create a balance.
Humans are social beings afterall, just some more than others.

I create my own fictional characters and imo it's normal, they're often kinda like real people except they're not, it's easy to connect with them and even imagine them as our friends. Well it's not bad as long as it doesn't become an obsession.

I miss them even if they're not real

Crazy how people in real life suck so much that we end up liking fictional characters more, to the point of sometime considering them as real like in this short

yall actually like this

Bro thats me with sylvie (from epithet erased) and muichiro

So sad :(

No because when the movie or show ends and there is no more and your just left thinking about whatever could have happened 😭😭😭😭😭

I once had such a realistic dream of a baby that was mine... Those emotions when I woke up were definitely intense

I had such a crush as a kid .... They would pop up in realistic dreams, nothing romantic happened, but I felt they were there. An when I woke up "poof"

Same thing. But it is a real girl. I am way out of her range. I love her.

Real except I'm a guy so I gotta thug it out.

Its also heartbreaking when you see the cute, caring character who was always there go through so much pain.
The shock of these things don't really hit me that often as I've become so numb to it, from continuously dealing with the extremes of these things irl.

Sometimes, it is better to live in a dream never come true then to give up on your dream and chase something possible. If I gave up on my fictional soulmate, I’d lose all the purpose and motivation she gives me throughout my life. I prefer living in this dream than waking up to the reality.

:(

i had a dream where DIO painted my nails and we chatted in the most fruity way imaginable

This is too true…

I think the worst is losing someone real before the growth of your relationship with them is substantial or your time with them just isn't enough. They're gone, they don't exist anymore, and now I can't tell how much of her is what really happened between us or is something I dreamt about us doing. It's been so long and I lost all of my digital photos of her due to failing hard drives and devices.

I'd argue it's probably just as bad as actually being in love with someone fictional. I don't remember what about her was real and what I was romanticizing.

I don't know what I'm saying, honestly. I resonated with this a lot. Thank you for making it.

mood

Eh? Who's this?

It's so sad that this is how so many people feel these days.

I had a dream where a girl loved me. It was very random and fast and weird but it will probably gona give me some self confidence lol! Thx subconscious

I remember when i was really into robots and would cry when they died (Ex: BT in titanfall) and my brother said i held the emotions for them 😭

last time I was kissed? I guess when my mother congratulated me for something and that already happened long time

Frrr

If this doesn’t explain me idk what will

Bruh I relate to this too much….

And then you wish you could read it for the first time again.

Bro i actually one time fell in love with something that my own mind created in a dream and i waited to dream with it again for so long

I legit almost cried at this
That is so sad

There was no point in my life where I wasn't in love with a (male) fictional character, I still love a lot but now I'm not that sad about them because now I have a girlfriend :3 Still a little sad, but hey. Maybe it's better because I'm a child so the characters would be in jail-

This song has a strong emotion Weber this video nearly made me cry.. I’m not even that sensitive either 😀

Yo con un tal shifting en la mochila: 🥺

I feel like a lot of people misunderstand what you mean by falling in love with a "fictional character" I don't think they mean an actual animated character from a show or something, I think they mean someone who pretended to be someone they weren't, someone you loved but it wasn't really them the whole time and you realized you love someone who was never really real, like you were being lied to the whole time, at least that's what I get out of this, my ex, who was my first everything practically, first kiss, and first for many other things I don't want to go into detail about, she sang this song to me, because she liked this song, she hates me now, blocked me on everything, even when I see her she pretends I don't exist. But I'm finally over her now, even though this does remind me that it's ok to hurt about something that's long passed.

That’s weirdly relatable 🥲

F*ck...

4 hours before New Year and I already felt like sh*t 😢

I'm supposed to feel happy and yet...

💔

im not suprised that almost everyone finds this relatable,

considering yall are simps.

True

You can’t do this to me.

the person i fell inlove with is a real person, but i met them online and they probably live so far from where i am. realizing that makes my heart shatter into pieces knowing they were the only person that ever comforted me the best

Gojo- * ahem * ahh. Um, I mean Shoko. (My blue eyed Goat 😭)

I had an amazing dream last night where some character (low-key made up but still fits the bill) who my friends(I don't know those people but we were close in my dream) hated him and he was some criminal and at night he'd come over and we'd go around and have fun and near the end my friends came to like him and there was a hug scene and then I woke up in my sad miserable life

I searched up trolls 3 lmao
