I Am In Love With a Fictional Character

I came to Similar Worlds because Experience Project got shut down (I know, I'm late) and I wanted to reexperience the fictional character loving community that was there. Sad to see that there barely is one. I was around 14-15 when I first used Experience Project and met a lot of people and learned a lot of things (which perhaps was a bit.. out there, but it's the internet) and generally had a good time.

I have had crushes on fictional characters since I was a wee little kid, say 8 or 9. However, as "sad" as this might be to hear, I am entirely in love with a fictional character. I don't really tell people this openly, but when I see it mentioned people are always like "you can't differentiate between reality and fiction, huh?" and "why don't you just get a real girlfriend/boyfriend?" and similar things.

Loving a fictional character is rough, especially when you know they will never be able to feel the same. They will never be able to laugh with you, talk to you, experience life with you, or anything else someone REAL could do for you. But nevertheless, these feelings won't go away, and my heart refuses to gain feelings for anyone I know around me that is real. I'm ace/aro (or well, I guess with real people around me at least) and I feel like this is the only love i'm able to experience. As pathetic as it may sound, I love them with my whole heart, and then some!!

I don't really like how Similar Worlds posts your story for everyone to see on their feed, but I don't know how to make it to group-only like EP did, iirc, so I guess I will just sit and suffer. Be nice, at least. You can't say anything I haven't heard already.
