Hey, uh, quick question... (Vent)
Does anyone else have a comfort character that they really, really, REALLY wish wasn't their comfort character in the first place because the person that made the show/game/whatever piece of media they're from is a bad person? Because I'm in that situation right now and I'm starting to feel like a bad person for it. I'm upset about it because for most of the month, I was doing significantly better but now I'm back in that rut where I overthink everything from my past and overly worry about whether I'm still a good person or not and I start to constantly question my morals based on every single thing I've done in my life, even though I know what my morals/values are and that I would never intentionally do anything bad to anyone. I hate how I ended up in that rut again. All because I found out a little too late that my newest comfort character (the alien mantis lady in my pfp) is from a game made by a bad person. (I found out that her game's developer is a bad person a few days after she became one of my comfort characters, which, coincidentally, was also a few days before my 19th birthday sooo... That was great. /s .) I wish I never got attached to that fictional bug-eyed freak in the first place. If only I had known that the developer of the game she's from was a total scumbag from the start, I wouldn't have gotten myself into this mess! I wouldn't be feeling so guilty about this, I wouldn't be worrying about whether or not I'm still a good person, I wouldn't have gone back to overthinking every single thing I did in the past that I'm worried makes me the bad person I fear that I am. Like, I was fine up until that point. Now I'm back to where I was before and I hate myself for it. I wish none of this ever happened in the first place.
