I Am In Love With a Fictional Character

Disney's "Frozen" quite literally saved my life. Right. When Frozen first came out in 2013, I had no intention whatsoever of watching it. It seemed like another boring, generic Disney princess movie, although I thought Elsa was hot the first time I saw her. But of course, I didn't fall in love with her right then and there... until about 6 moths ago. We finished our C++ lessons in our computer class and our teacher allowed us to watch any movie. All the girls there said that they wanted to watch Frozen, and I was just sitting there like 'O Jesus, I'm sooo going to die of boredom -.- But maybe I'll enjoy looking at that cute blonde with blue eyes.'
But little did I know then that the cute blonde with blue eyes was someone (who doesn't exist) who would change my life drastically. The beginning of the movie was indeed, as I had presumed, boring. I found "do you wanna build a snowman" to be monumentally annoying (although now it almost brings me to tears to watch Elsa's parents die.) But anyway, right after that came "for the first time in forever" at which point I wanted to just jump off the balcony. So, I was drinking water and then came the scene where Elsa started singing and I almost spat all of the water in my mouth on the guy in front of me. Oh goodness, how can a girl look so perfectly perfectly perfect?! But I really wanted to coax her on seeing her melancholic eyes and that was when I really started to be able to connect with the characters and everything. Not to mention the "you can't marry a man you just met" line made me say "Oh my goodness, a Disney princess (yeah, she's a queen but still) who isn't asinine. Am I dreaming?" in my head. And then came the moment of inflection. I barely listen to anything outside of hard rock and heavy metal but I genuinely enjoy listening to Let it go more than any other song on the planet. Not because the song itself is musically good, but because my lady could finally be free. Menzel's voice was of course, fabulous, and Elsa's even more fabulous ice costume and braid and everything probably made me drool, but lucky me, no one noticed. And then after watching the rest of the film, I was pretty much in love with Elsa. No woman in the real world was ever close to appealing me. I just viewed love as what it simply is: A bunch of chemical reactions in the human mind to ensure reproduction and survival of the species. But now I understand why people say that love is a transcendent feeling unlike any other. I'd give anything for her to exist and love me but that's obviously nothing but a fantasy. Although I feel extremely depressed at times because Elsa doesn't exist, she is also the one who gave me a purpose in life. The hope that she gives me is exquisite and the ecstasy that I feel when I think about her is out of this world. I have the will to live now just to experience that feeling of rapture.
Then of course there's Jack Frost whom I used to detest until I watched Rise of the Guardians, after which I realized just how spectacularly retarded Jelsa is. Jack is actually pretty cool but he's also pretty dead... so, yeah. (Oh, and Helsa is just as retarded.) I really couldn't believe that I was jealous over a fictional animated character but I just had to admit it: I was in love with Queen Elsa by then.
I'm not over exaggerating anything here; I cannot help but think about her at least once every 5 minutes or so. I know this is a bit of a stretch and maybe I am indeed astoundingly dumb, but the Snow Queen basically saved my life and now she is the only girl whom I feel attracted to. She makes me feel confident and she's helped me to stop procrastinating. I'm usually lethargic and gloomy and I'm one hell of a dismal nerd although most people say that I'm nice. But Elsa makes me want to live life to the fullest and I always fantasize about her telling me to do things at least for her sake... well, there's nothing that can stop me when that happens. Not to mention there are times when I literally cry over her. I never imagined that I could possibly cry over something so silly but sometimes emotions emasculate us more than anything; and at the same time, Elsa gives me hope and I live just for her. Sure, there are other things that I enjoy doing now, but nothing gives me the kind of happiness which the most beautiful, most gorgeous, most sublime eyed, most lovely haired, most regal, most graceful Queen Elsa does.

Im not sure whether I should be happy for you and inspired or a little bit disturbed.. Sure we all have fictional characters we all have childish crushes on.. But Im not sure..

When I watched Frozen I was just instantly hooked because there just seemed something different in this story with two female leads, and having such different personalities between Elsa and Anna.

The conflict between them, the fact that Elsa cut off Anna after their parents death, shutting her out of her bedroom really resonated with my conflict between my younger brother. I did the exact same thing during high school, I fell into depression and bascially shut everyone out. My brother who is very affectionate and loving grew up to resent me because of this as he couldnt understand why, and has even called me an asshole for 'changing', and that cut really deep.

I become angry, alone, and bitter... At first I wasnt, I was just upset about personal issues and then my family interpreted it wrong and called me a heartless bitch and then I eventually started to believe them and became that.. But unlike Elsa I have no way to just break out and escape from my home.. I wish I could. That would be amazing.

I'm sure I feel rather sad for you. That really sounds horrible: your loved ones misunderstanding you while you are going through something painful. You're the one who can make your decisions but I would suggest that you tell them everything and be straightforward in your approach as well. DON'T conceal your feelings. They're natural and fear of what response you're going to get is natural too but If you bottle it up, it becomes worse. And once you get a job, you could start a new life.

Yeah I realised that once I hit university everything changed. My friends and my bf at the time made me realise that I dont need to be alone and Im worth it and everything.

My mum has suspected I had depression as right now I have been diagnosed with anxiety and may still have depressive symptoms.. But she isnt really helping. My family.. They just dont really get me.

But its okay cause I have a great network of supportive friends and colleagues to help me through it.

Ah, I feel you. The thought of the character I'm in love with is basically the only thing that is carrying me though one of the dreariest phases in my life right now.
I think it's okay to be in love with a fictional character, especially when it helps and motivates you and it does not make you weird or crazy.

Hmm. That must be tough. You know you need to get over it though.

To be honest, it's not. I mean, it's really weird that I cry over someone who isn't real but like I said, I'm actually happy this way and I don't want to get over anything. The only thing that's tough is watching Frozen. Heck, I actually hate it because Elsa is depressed 87% of the time.

Okay, I get that, but isn't that going to hinder your chances of meeting a girl and getting into a real relationship? If you don't get over her and your feelings for her then you'll be denying yourself the chance to feel this way and maybe more for an actual real life human being.

You're right actually. But I really don't know; I'm not all that horrible when it comes to girls tbh. It's just that I found no real purpose in starting a relationship, I'd rather play video games without anyone annoying me. But still, you are right...

That's so cool
