Hey Jessica! Yeah I totally relate with the part about how you obsessed over an actress/her fictional characters. That is exactly what I have been doing for 3 years now, although the actress I obsessed over I am now over and have moved on to another one. Its so funny you mentioned that. They end up becoming my role models/idols and their life always looks perfect and like they have everything I don't have: the world's love, friends, so many people who love and adore and care for them. I get pretty jealous over them and its hard to not compare myself to them. Do you relate?
I don't know about 'obsess', but I certainly have a couple fictional characters who have long been a source of comfort, and 'internal caregivers', so to speak. I've found that when a character has become really important to me, the actresses voice will bring the same comfort/etc. (thankfully both the two I mentioned above narrate audiobooks, so I have that. . Some people might think I have too many pictures of the one beside my bed (it helps me sleep), but when I look at NT's obsessions over sci-fi fandoms, my interest pales in comparison, generally! .
