ok. so whenever i read a book that i really love, i become too involved. its almost like an obsession. im too emotionally attached to the characters and what happens to them so its almost like its happening to me too. for example, i recently started and finished a book where the girl falls in love only to lose her true love in an accident because her father is abusive (long story) and i just couldnt take that emotionally. i cant stop thinking about it and i keep crying. i know that the girl isnt me, but it hurts so bad and i dont know how to stop. but i cant read books without becoming so attached...do you see my dilemma? i dont know what to do about it or why im like this. do i have some sort of mental illness? because after so many years of this, thats what it feels like: an illness. theres something wrong with me. and the worst part is, absolutely NO one i know or that ive heard of can relate to me. so im stuck feeling these things by myself. please help me. i dont know what to do.
