I sympathize with fictional characters more than real people. Usually the protagonist

    Think about it, do you feel more sympathy if Winnie the Pooh is injured or if some guy on a street corner is injured?

        Try to see the Inner Pooh in yourself and others.

          I always liked Bugs bunny's attitude, he was always cocky and confident but he only messed with those who provoked him first like Elmer Fudd or Yosemite Sam.

        Yes, exactly. Whenever you see some guy on the street, you never know if he is innocent or not, but you know that Winnie the Poo is innocent.

    It depends, I guess...I honestly don't care what happens to sex criminals, abusers, etc...but I would be devastated if something happened to one of my family members or friends. I even grieve for strangers who die in mass shootings and terrorist attacks because they were innocent and didn't deserve to die.

    Fiction is meant to grab the attention of the people watching/reading, but you do know that it's fiction, right? Fiction is more controllable than real life. If a character dies you can create your own alternate universe where they didn't. It's not disrespectful to the creators, ppl write fanfiction all the time.

    What will it take for you to love your family again? What do we have to do?

    When fictional characters cry, I cry like a little bitch too.

    Depends on the people, especially whether you know them or not. You can't be expected to feel anything about a stranger.

      Even if a stranger could end up being the kindest person in the world, no one who doesn't know him is going to believe that.

    Depends. First it'd go family and then fictional characters and then everybody else.
    In a book you've been through that characters life, you know them as well as they do and if they're hurt or injured it's easy to sympathize with them.

    It's just coz fictional character are from fanantasy world & you seem to love fantasy more than reality.

    In a sense yes. You have more sympathy for people who's lives you've followed, people that experience certain situations that most won't nor ever could due to it being fiction.
