I’m probably gonna end up embarrassing myself saying this but maybe someone else out there does the same thing..
Do any of y’all pretend your comfort character is watching you/with you when in public? I don’t do it on purpose. My mind just instantly goes to Michael and it really does help my anxiety. Like when I start feeling anxious in public I tell myself he’s watching and nothing bad will happen to me. I tell myself he wouldn’t let anyone hurt me. Or if i’m feeling like i’m on the verge of a panic attack i tell myself “michael wouldn’t be nervous so why are you? you’re literally fine dude” and it helps.
I do other shit as well— like having intense daydreams/maladaptive daydreaming about him and at some point it does become a problem because my brain does it without me putting effort into it. It helps me and ruins my adult-ing skills.
I can’t wait to have my new shirt of Peepaw. I lost my one and only hoodie of him so i’ve been saving up for this shirt for months. It’s strange how a character (especially one like him LMAO) can improve my day/social skills. Because on the days i didn’t have anything of him with me my anxiety was through the fucking roof and i nearly fainted from all the nausea i was feeling.
Idk if this is “normal” for people who have a severe attachment to characters or if i genuinely need help LMAOO ngl that anon kinda got to me and i’m not sure what to think of myself when i catch myself doing all these things.
idc how many times i’ve read a fic where corey gets turned on and masturbates outside the glass door and michael watches, i will never get sick of it. gives me butterflies fr
