Do you get emotionally attached to video game characters?

Quite honestly though, i get the feeling you are just acting detached because you want to. Its ok Osed, you arent any less if you can imerse yourself in entertainment. It doesnt rob you of anything in real life. Actually makes one more interesting.
Dont be that guy whose hobby is fishing and only topic of conversation is how he bones his girlfriend when you ask him what they do together while using a shirt that says he is different and original. No one likes that guy.

Well that was harsh.

Meh I don't care what a guy says on the internet.

I feel sad when I see the news and see all the poverty and killing around the world. I feel sad for my friends and family when stuff happens to them.

But fictional characters? they aren't real, so their pain doesn't affect me in the slightest.
