Which literary character is literally you?

For me, it's Heathcliff. I spent my teen years from 14 with my oneitis, who promptly dumped me after we finished school because she felt I was too unambitious for not going to college.

When I learned that she married several years later, it fuelled me with such bitterness that I decided to go to college to surpass both her and her husband and get my revenge on that cunt who thought I was beneath her. And yet despite all that she probably doesn't even think about me at all.

I’m not sure why, but I tend to identify with Aleksei Aleksandrovich Karenin, and I’m not too pleased with that

Tyrone Slothrop. I like sex, weed, and hawaiian shirts. And I’m heavy into conspiracy theories.

Karenin saved a child from near death even though it was the result of his wife's infidelity. There are worse people you could be.

Hamlet, because he's just there, reacting to things. He struggles with a sense of impending doom and futility of action, because he never can know for sure what's right and in the end it's all the same. He seems manic and schizoid and has no means of coping. He quickly subverts the intrigues set against him but that's all he actually does; he has no plan and never attacks; he just scraps by, defending himself in the moment. Any potential he had was wasted but he is vindicated in the end.

He’s a decent guy, sure.
But it’s things I don’t like that make me identify with him.

Is there any literary character that spends most of his time battling his inner demons while everyone outside is mostly nice/helpful to him?
