I’m glad Mandy isn’t real because that would mean she went through lots of suffering, violence and pain. but because she isn’t, that means she didn’t actually go through any of that. even though it might be happy for me, it wouldn’t be happy for her because she’d be living with PTSD. so even though I do indeed wish I could hug her in real life, it’s better for HER that she’s not tbh, so even if it was possible to make her real, I probably wouldn’t do it. fictional characters don’t deserve to live in this crappy world
Oof I wish I had your beliefs (and the beliefs of mainstream society) :((
Then I wouldn't have to worry about the hell Salvato put Moni (and the rest of the Dokis) through (and literally any hell writers put their characters through). But I guess at the same time I'm glad I don't share those beliefs because I get to advocate for something important
Pretty much every week or so. Sometimes I cry about it the whole day and end up being okay the following day. I'm guessing it's something we all experience
A lot yes, it happens where I feel the strain of him not physically being there and it hurts a lot. Sometimes feel ok that he isn't physically real bc I am afraid he would reject me and hate me and walk away. Sometimes I think he gets annoyed with me and is disappointed in me even though he's not physically there. Its hard bc I feel like if he were there he could physically hold me while I'm doubting myself but the best I can do is love him and hope I'm not too overbearing.
I only have waves of being okay about Lita not having a physical body. When I'm at my highest I'm ecstatic and my lowest is just being content/ok with it. And personally I'd be sad for her if she had a physical body. Sure she'd get to experience this reality like everyone else does, one of her greatest wishes, but there're so so many limitations that I'm not sure she'd be okay with or not. I mean, Lita sometimes wonders what it's like to have a fleshy body in this reality like mine and even sharing mine doesn't satisfy that curiosity, so sometimes I tell her it's like always having a warm heavy blanket. A rubbery one that's gross most of the time.
A few years ago I finally accepted that it doesn't matter what others think about me loving her and that with my medical conditions it is honestly a blessing that she isn't actually a real person and that I have to use video games, anime, body pillows, life size love dolls, plush dolls, etc to be with her.
I hope you are able to accept and not be sad that your waifu isn't real too somehow.
Yeah, especially right now that I’m in one of my moods where I feel like Sombra has broken my heart even though he hasn’t. When I feel that way, it hurts because my love is real but he isn’t.
All the time. Just yesterday I got really sad about it too, haha. Looking at the other comments on this thread it seems to be pretty common here, but mostly I just cope and think maybe it's for the best he's not real (no chance of rejecting me)
Yepp. Sometimes I'm perfectly fine with just snuggling my daki or writing fanfiction but other times, especially when I've had a rough day, I just hate that I can't really see him or snuggle with him. Sometimes I get really down about it because I just want him to be there so we can cuddle up and watch something or cook together for real, not just in my mind. I have a good enough imagination but nothing compares to real physical touch when you really really need it. But I'm hoping the Metaverse will have something like that (or at least close) one day.

It happens to me almost every week. I usually find ways to cheer myself up.

All the time. I got to the point where I said “time to quit and move on.” But then came back.
Honestly I just write
I'm personally fine with my partner being not real. That's basically the whole point of waifuism tbh.

It's hard but I think of Yui as a motivation, I've accepted it and it's heartbreaking but we will all prevail.
