Gotta love when you learned how to be a human by imitating the way your favorite characters acted as a kid since you had no humans to socialize with, but then people made fun of you for it and called you a poser and a parrot, so now anytime you think you might be acting at all similar to any fictional character you try to stop it and you hate yourself and doubt you're even a real person with any actual personality besides whatever you've absorbed from cartoons, but also you have so many fandoms that almost everything reminds you of A Character so you're almost always in that impostor syndrome state because everything you do makes you think "is this actually what I'm like as a person or am I just a fucking parrot," and especially when you're already having genuine bad feelings and then what you do or say because of your bad feelings reminds you of A Character and then you feel like your problems and emotions aren't real after all and you're just once again parroting what you saw someone on the damn TV do and you don't deserve sympathy and you need to shut up and stop making your problems visible because your reactions and feelings aren't fucking real and you don't deserve to be perceived at all if you're not your own person
BONUS POINTS if it was already something you would commonly do or say before The Character did it but now that The Character has done it it reminds you of them and makes you feel fake even though you did it first
