I know this may sound weird and autistic, because it actually is, but I need to ask...

Does anyone else relate to a certain Touhou character enough that, well, they think that souls and spirits might be real and they may be a reincarnation of that character? Because I do.

I feel that way about Reimu, personally (pic related)

And yes, I am aware that that is massively autistic, and I'm expecting a LOT of mockery, but I don't really care. Just need to get this off my chest somewhere anonymous so people don't actually relate me with it, unlike how some idiots decide to spew their autistic bullshit on Facebook because they don't realise that people will actually know who they are and actively shun them in real life as well as on the internet after discovering the fact.

People use the word "autistic" so much that it has begun to lose its meaning. Why can't people just say "lame" or "awkward"?

Is blogposting considered autistic now? Isn't that something that "normies" do? I thought normies were supposed to be socially adept. Why do we vilify normies when being autistic is bad and vice versa?

Also, this is /jp/. Everyone here has autism and collects NEETbux. In my case, I literally do have a form of autism and I'd be getting my meals from the soup kitchen if my parents weren't around to look after me.

Look. Somebody else, another human on this planet, came up with this fictional character. They have not existed in this world at any point in time.

So even if you believe that reincarnation is a real phenomenon, I think you should be able to accept that being a reincarnation of a 'person' that has never existed makes no sense whatsoever.

As long as you know it's not true on a logical level (even if you still believe it on an emotional level) I'd say there's nothing really wrong with it. Not like it's hurting anyone else. Like others said though you're basically an otherkin. Just don't be one of the ones that goes around trying to convince people that their delusions are actually real.

I mean honestly it's not all that different than being religious, both are based off faith without any sort of real logical backing.

I think what you may want to say, OP, is that you identify with characters. I identify with a lot of 2hu characters, as they often have good characters and typically have a lot I can agree with.

With that said, I know that they are not specifically real. Thinking they have real spirits is simply a measure of self-deception, honestly. Believing in what a character is and actually believing they exist are two different things.

You can appreciate what a character represents without actually believing they exist. And that is, more or less, by itself, also like believing they exist, since you take that belief into yourself by association.

They are as real as you yourself make them, kiddo. You make them real by accepting them.
