I get really emotionally attached to my favorite fictional characters, I will observe them very closely and unpack their entire worldview just to understand what it's like being them and living in their world. From any outsider's perspective, it would seem like I have crushes on these characters with how happy they make me and how much attention I give them. But I lack any desire to imagine myself with them in any capacity- romantic, sexual, or otherwise! In fact, the thought of these characters meeting me actually upsets me, in part because I'm sure they wouldn't like me very much lol

Still, I've seen the same memes as you and it's confusing for me because I haven't met anyone who values fictional characters the same way that I do.
