Today, I found myself crying my eyes out over my two favourite fictional characters' deaths. It happened over 6 years ago and has affected me more than real peoples' deaths. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was rushed to the hospital because I was crying so hard I couldn't breathe. Why was I crying? My favorite anime character died. FML
Today, while I was working my shift at the store, my girlfriend appeared and asked to talk to me. Once we were alone, she burst into tears and started sobbing. Turns out someone's dad died in her favorite TV show and she wanted some comfort. FML
Today, I've had more crushes on fictional characters than actual people. FML
Today, I realised I get really attached to characters in long-running TV shows, because I have no friends. FML
Today, I’m still crying over my five-month relationship that ended two months ago. I didn't cry this much over my ex-wife. FML
Today, I cried harder than I have in years. I was babysitting, and watching Pokémon to pass the time. It was the episode where Ash, Dawn, and Brock on the show went their separate ways, and may never be together again. FML
Today, my youth pastor died and I was crying. My boss told me to dry my tears, because it was affecting my coworkers. Sorry I'm human and cry when someone I know dies. FML
Today, I cried so much I felt nauseous and almost puked. Why was I crying? I made up a hot, brooding, cold, and heartless guy who secretly cared about me, and who's super protective. Then I imagined him dying by being stabbed. I cried over a guy I made up in my head. FML
Today, at work, I served a customer who looked so much like my grandma that I thought it actually was her. Then I remembered she died 6 months ago. I had to serve customers with a smile on my face while choking back tears for the rest of the day. FML
Today, I had red eyes from crying, and everyone assumed that my mom, who has been seriously ill, had died so they tried comforting me. It was quite embarrassing to have to tell them that it was because I'd just watched the last episode of season 4 of Veronica Mars. FML

Dude, go see a therapist. There must be some other underlying reason because that's not healthy.

As much as we all miss Adolph Hitler and Hermann Goering, I'm pretty sure they weren't fictional. Whether or not that improves the overall situation is up for interpretation, I suppose.

You just haven't met the people who would elicit that kind of an emotional reaction out of you, yet. I think it's part of an introvert's nature to become attached to fictional characters in that way because they're the ones we see more of. The longer you're around real people, the closer your bond will be, and the more it'll hurt when they pass on.

That is sad and pathetic on so many levels. Go ask for a therapist.
