This morning (its still is here), I'm thinking about how I have no empathy for peoples around me (especially family) or simply those I interact to, but able to have a s*it ton of love and care (feeling) for fictional characters or those that ws separated them from me by the screen.
I'm a sensitive Peyton end I cry at almost every sad scene on a friggin cartoon but I didn't particularly feel anything for rl person (with my poker face too).
I remembered reading someone said that they feeling like I do on a thread called (may be) 5 things about you before, so I wonder if this is an abnormality or some psychological thing and I looked about it briefly on Google.
Apparently, there's a lot of people having the same thought (I don't know the word) like I am.
Some peoples said that it is a defensive mechanisms that was created by oneself to defend themself, especially those with sensitive mind since the characters you saw on the screen is predictable and they can't take their feeling (and inner monologue) from you, not like real life peoples that can take everything without you knowing end hurt one badly.
Some others said that it was because the people's cteaded the character make them more relatable and he be easier expression that can be read by mind a lot more better than rl peoples, but I think the former sounds more plausible in my case.
I don't know if there's a real term for this, but I wonder what do you think about it?
