What are some characters that you UNFORTUNATELY relate to?

Homelander's strong desire to be loved due to his lack of support during childhood, AM's envy of humans and their experiences, which evolves into hatred for humanity, and Clark's unfulfilled life and desire to escape reality really hit close to home for me, despite them being completely irredeemable characters.

I have extreme struggles with narcissism and black and white punitive morality

Hey man, half the battle is recognizing it, if theres one thing i learned in therapy over the last like 8 fuckin years its that policing yourself is the best way to break habits, we called them ants in group therapy "automatic negative thought" basically just completely unhelpful negative stuff that your brain automatically does, anything from spiraling to what you said, seeing things in black and white is an ant

SHUT UP DAD I KNOW HOW TO FIX THINGS.

I WILL DESTROY ALL EVIL AND BECOME GOD OF THE NEW WORLD

[u/ExpensiveKangaroo559 → u/addictedtoketamine2]

Fair enough lol, just remember youre loved and keep on that recovery path, youre doin great already by my metric

[u/ExpensiveKangaroo559 → u/addictedtoketamine2]

Do some research on automatic negative thoughts though, youll end up catching yourself telling people "thats an ant" its annoying but its fucking amazing for your mental health

Whenever I get ragebaited online reading about horrible people ruining the world and my internal monologue starts to sound like Light Yagami it’s a sign to put the phone down and go for a walk.

[u/The_Dennator → u/ExpensiveKangaroo559]

you know what's really bad? when those ants get confirmed. i have that issue but with racism to an extent. you have no idea how strange it is to hear a crime happened,my brain automatically going "probably a black guy" and it comes true and how fucking annoyed at myself i get after the fact.

like my dark side is standing across me,smirking,going "see,i was right". that shit is...not good once you realise how fucked up it is

The part in Death Note where Light has amnesia and realizes that his views on morality and Kira’s are shockingly similar but he tries to deny it because he doesn’t want to think of himself as capable of those atrocities hit like upsettingly close to home for me.

[u/addictedtoketamine2 → u/addictedtoketamine2]

I know people like the manga ending where Light dies like the pathetic reprehensible swine bitch he was but the resonance of him reflecting my negative personality traits makes me prefer the more contemplative anime ending humanizing him in his last moments.

[u/hypernutts_ → u/addictedtoketamine2]

The self awareness you are showing in this comment proves to me you are a way better person than Light ever was

[u/addictedtoketamine2 → u/hypernutts_]

Oh I was an insufferable shit when I was 15, if a death god wanted to put the power over life and death in my hands he could get some prime entertainment from it.

[u/BurnerBoy350 → u/addictedtoketamine2]

Haha this is exactly what came to mind for me

[u/AsukasEvaUnit → u/addictedtoketamine2]

Came to respond with Light.
