Characters are often idealized, so it's common and normal to feel attracted to them, if not romantically, for the things they do and represent. They are often made to be visually appealing to the audience, to behave in archetypical ways. They are an idea inserted in a nice design rather than a person with all their problems and imperfections.

So yeah, it's common. In a way, it is often easier to love a character than to love an actual person. That being said, I don't think it really substitutes having real human interactions and stuff. Even with all our flaws, real people can be more incredible than characters.

but ive had so much more amazing feelings from masturbating while thinking about the characters compared to sex with a nonfiction human

>>34460054
reality is not made to be loved.

That can be for a multitude of factors, from you not finding someone compatible with you, to you taking more pleasure in the idealization than in the act itself, I think.

But in any case, as wonderful as characters can be, we can't really be with them, so if a person craves for social contact and human interaction, they need to seek other people. Look for someone who matches your interests, views and is to your liking in other ways. We aren't perfect, but we can learn to live with others despite theirs and our own flaws.

Autism. Autists are notoriously perfectionistic, scrupulous and pedantic to the point its pathological. Their need for routine, order, predictability dominates their entire life including their sexual habits and even their attraction for other things. And humans are flawed, humans are not puppets, humans are not predictable (at least not as much as the autist would like). So they feel disgust for actual humans, but they will fall for fictional characters both 2D and in movies or books, because they are predictable, often depicted as having no character flaws, and the flaws their favorite characters do have is always portrayed in a shallow and easy to process way.

you can bet your ass she's not thirsting over predictable characters

This is common in autists. Autists almost always have an attraction towards the broken girl or the bad boy. Goth queens or sad lost boys, characters or people who resemble chaos. This is because again, autists have a. obsession with routine, order, and predictability. And one of the things that gives an autist the greatest sense of relief and meaning is to make order out of chaos, to take something out of control and put it in control. To take a crooked line and make it straight.

This also applies to their tastes in fictional characters or even people. They are drawn to messy chaotic or even broken or dangerous people because.
"I can fix her."
"I can save him."

And also the villain or "bad girl/bad boy" represents a way of living (chaotic freedom) the autist deep down wishes they had.

Nice. Speaking of clocks I bet you would consider it a form of cruel torture if someone were to place a ticking clock in your bedroom while you tried to sleep. :^)

you need to touch grass and get off the internet and vidya games

>>34460714
Nah I actually like the repetitive noise of clocks, it helps me sleep

Yikes

How about just have sex already you special snowflakes yumetards (yumejoshi retard)

(Actually would be better to keep the special snowflake syndrome in containment and not pass it down to the next generation)

Autism is a meme kys. You could have posted the same exact post without insisting on inserting muh autism into everything without any logical association between the two (autism is a massive Barnum effect thing anyway where you could interpret literally anything as muh autism)

projection much? i like regular dicks

Is it possible that you fear actually having sex and only allowing yourself to feel sexual desire for by definition unavailable others, is a way to make sure you won't end up having real sex?

Just to share the context, when I was young I pined for years over an unavailable friend who would exchange suggestive messages but never show interest in more. Looking back it was that for me, I enjoyed feeling close to sexual possibility but the idea of actually having it scared me a lot so channeling it all into someone I knew would not fuck me, was a sort of compromise that worked for me in its own fucked up way of providing a sexual outlet within my limited options.

>>34463776
no cuz ive had irl sex,
basically almost nobody shows interest in me tho
the guy i use to fuck isnt availble to me anymore and depersonalisation ruined the sex with him anyway

>>34463829
>depersonalisation ruined the sex with him anyway
This does not convince me you don't fear sex though. It is possible to fear it and still have it sometimes.

>>34463829
>depersonalisation
Oh god is it >>34456562

You're just a gooner, many such cases

>>34460054
i'm like you except i fall in love with every human man who does so much as make eye contact with me for more than a few seconds in public too. i'll fantasize about those guys like how i fantasize about 2D men. even if i can get guys i prefer to just fantasize about them from afar than be with them.

i think it's because i couldn't get guys/relationships when i was dying to have them in my formulative years, i became obsessed with my fantasies to cope, and i just became too good at it.

>>34460082
people always say that no matter what the real thing is better than a fantasy just because it's real and i honestly just just could never understand this. i don't get it. for me the fantasy isn't just daydreaming, it feels realer than real life. to the point where real life feels like the illusion and my fantasies are real. i think i might be a little too far gone

>>34466780
>for me the fantasy isn't just daydreaming, it feels realer than real life
I get it, in a way. I do my daily routine just wishing for it to end just so I can indulge in entertainments, reading my mangas, playing my games or watching some fiction, as if all the stuff was just a drag, and the reward was the fantasy stuff.

But, even though I feel this, I do still think what I said on the post you responded to is true (to me at least). My reasoning for this is that, as we live, we notice that things just aren't always ideal, they don't go the way we plan or wish they did, but sometimes it can be even better. People and life itself can surprise us, both positively and negatively, and that uncertainty can be exciting. It allows us to grow as people, we learn new things, we see new things, we laugh, we cry, we get upset, but the end result is that we can become stronger.

It is good when we manage to get along despite out differences.

Way I see it, fantasizing too much may lead to an overindulgence of the self. There is no challenge, there is no growth, there is no opposition, and that is just not how life and people work. We need some boundaries, and we need to respect others boundaries. We need to accept other people's mistakes, and we need others to accept ours, that kind of thing. These are the things that allow us to grow.

>TL;DR people and life can be different from what we idealize, but that is not always bad.
