Know that you are not alone. You’re not the only one attracted to fictional characters. Even that character you love has a huge fan base.
- Even if not to the point of falling in love, many people can still recognize emotional and verbal cues from the character depicted in the novel. Romantic emotions are one of the ways fictional characters can affect our real lives. [1] X Research Source

Talk about it with your friends. It’s likely that one of your friends also enjoys fiction. Even if they don’t read the same book, or watch the same show as you, they will understand your feelings. [2] X Research Source

Allow yourself to be imagined. Illusion, creating a dream world around one’s love is a very normal response to limited love. In this case, your limit is the object of love that is not real in real life. [3] X Research Sources
- Your fantasies can take many forms. You can imagine a physical relationship, or imagine being married and living with that character. The fantasy is even more vivid when it comes to how the relationship ends, like divorce, quarrel, or death. Everything becomes possible in your imagination.

Writing stories. One way to express your love for that fictional character is to explore your feelings through writing. Create a story with your favorite character, and build a situation where the two of you meet. [4] X Research Sources
- Let your imagination fly away. If you love the character, think about what attracts you to them, and describe how they do it more often. Including you, let’s create a world where the two of you can be together.
- If you are more of a visual artist, sketch or draw a character you like. Paintings are as imaginative as words.

Share your work with everyone. Post your stories on fan creation sites. You can choose pages aimed at a general audience or pages aimed at readers of a specific title or show. On these pages you can also give feedback on other people’s work. [5] X Research Sources
- Remember, if you’re starring in the story you’re writing, avoid giving out too much personal information. You will not want to be traced to your true identity based on the information you provide online.
- Many fans have made a lot of money from writing novels. Those are exceptional exceptions, so if you decide to post your work online, don’t be surprised if only a handful of people read it. [6] X Research Source
Give up the fantasy

Determine whether this love affects your life. It’s fine to daydream and fantasize, but your illusions shouldn’t take over all of real life. If you find yourself gradually withdrawing from all social activities, or avoiding real relationships, then this love is no longer healthy. [7] X Research Sources
- If you can’t stop the delusions on your own, then consider therapy and medication to treat it. You should discuss this option with your doctor if you are concerned about your ability to function normally.

Remember that the character you love is not real. After all, you’re just in love with a character, someone who isn’t real. Clear your mind a bit, no matter how many times you have to repeat it. [8] X Research Sources
- Find imperfections or negative aspects of your character. If that character is too perfect, that’s also a flaw. No one is perfect in the world, and a relationship where that person has nothing to blame cannot be happy. [9] X Research Source
- Sometimes you need someone to say these words for you to understand. Please discuss your problem with your friends. They can help you figure out what’s real and what’s just an illusion.

Identify stereotypes in characters. Especially in interactive visual novels, characters often build according to stereotypes. A good way to forget about a fictional lover is to remember that this character is just unlikely to exist in real life. No real person can be perfect, or romantic, witty, or complicated.
- This is an important step when considering your reaction to people you don’t like. Several types of characters are built into the story to get a specific reaction from you. For example, a teacher is always a character portrayed as a grumpy old man who wants his students to fail. While there may be such teachers in real life, you should not be influenced by the story to hate teachers, especially those who are younger and friendlier. [10] X Research Source

Remove images from your mind. This is also good advice when you need to end a relationship in real time. If you want to stop thinking and caring about someone, erase that person from your mind. This gives your mind room to grow and move on with your life without that person. [11] X Research Source
- Don’t read books, watch shows, movies, or anything related to that character. This means avoiding viewing websites that talk about fictional worlds. This is similar to real life, you should not follow your ex on Facebook.
Facing the pain of the character’s death

You are allowed to grieve. You let that character become a part of your life, especially when it’s a character on a show you’ve been with for a long time. So naturally, you will feel a loss. [12] X Research Source
- For teenagers or adults who have not experienced death, the fantasy world is a safe gateway to think about and discuss the subject. Consider sharing your feelings with others. This is a great way to practice talking about other serious issues in life. [13] X Research Source

Express your feelings. If your favorite character is killed, or no longer appears in the story, you may get angry. Let others know that feeling. You will experience some extreme emotions, and it is better to express them to others. [14] X Research Source
- Be careful not to reveal the contents of popular books, movies, or TV shows. In modern times, people often don’t experience everything at the same time, which means many people have not seen the important details. If posting on public platforms like Twitter, keep the content vague, like “I can’t believe what happened” instead of “Why kill my favorite character!”. Keep those details for people you know to have caught up with you. [15] X Research Source

Remember the character. Recall the important role that character played in the story, and what made you fall in love with the character. You can also chat with friends and other people about the character, why their death saddens you, and what you like best about them. [16] X Research Source
- Read or re-watch scenes where your favorite characters appear. The great thing about fantasy worlds is that we can always come back and visit them.
- Find a way to keep the image of the character in you, be it writing a story, or drawing a picture, so you can see them again.

Continue reading or watching the movie. A good work will continue to solve problems after the death of the character. After the character is gone, still read the book or movie, to see the reactions of the other characters. Here’s how to accept what happened. [17] X Research Source
- Alternatively, you can also pause watching the show or book. If you feel really affected by the story, it’s a good idea to get out of this world for a while so that real life won’t be affected.

Remember that the character’s fate is controlled by the author. The hardest thing about fictional characters is that their stories have to come to an end. In the end, their every action is the result of the author’s imagination. That means only the author has control over what happens. Even if your character doesn’t die, the book or show must end.
