I don’t think there’s anything inherently wrong with relating to characters, “they’re literally me” etc but if that’s the only way you engage with stories you’re kinda missing the whole point of Characters being vehicles through which we can see perspectives outside of our own. and also you’re going to get upset when the Character acts in a way that is not Personally Relatable to You

Please write your story. Draw the artwork. Finish the animation. Continue on whatever project you're working on. It doesn't matter if you're not good at it, or you have doubts, or you're afraid of mistakes. Your creation has a right to exist, and it will be important to others.

If you enjoy writing self-indulgent fanfic (and as my 500+ fics on Ao3 will testify, I do) I cannot recommend writing for want of a better term original fiction highly enough because the levels of self-indulgence you can achieve are off the charts when you have no established canon or fanbase to refer to. You can do anything, absolutely anything, you want. It's better than heroin.

Write a scene where your character imagines their worst possible future—and what they’re doing now to avoid it.
