How fictional characters can change the life of real people | Jader Neto | TEDxYouth@EAB

Jader Neto explains how fictional characters can come to form an essential part of someone's identity and character and how they lend so much more to us as individuals than just fantastical plots. Jader is a senior at EAB. He has a passion about expressing one-self and of fictional characters. In his talk, he will show how one can be inspired by fictional characters to make changes in their own lives. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

It’s awesome that someone decided to make a ted talk about this topic, if only it went a bit deeper.

[@SidianMSJones]

Check out Personal Mythology. It's all about this kind of thing.

i am a fictiophile, i am alive because of a fictional character, not only alive but I'm LIVING
that more than most people
i would love to see a talk on fictiophilia

[@ragingsaviorkami9862]

Same thing here. I wish there were more people who understood how this feels and this topic be more widely dicussed.
I've had fictional characters be there for me when no one else was/could/would be. Some scenarios I'd develop and bring to life inside my head for like days at a time when I was in high-school, and it was like a drug that kept me alive.
Recenty I've rediscovered my love for one character, through a dream that fealt exactly like something from those 6-7-8 years ago. It was very vivid and real, she was there, on that same porch where I used to hang out with her every day and night in my dreams/daydreams, and it was just... uggh. I woke up with butterflies in my stomach, entire perspective changed, I was excited to be alive. Now I'm high on life again. It's been days and it ain't stopping. I'm 25 and I have a "waifu".

@@ragingsaviorkami9862 good for you!
i honestly think its amazing what the human mind can do, it can certainly be surprising.
it can lothe itself, and on top of any mental instability or trauma, any reason to hate, or desire to cease, it can still find a reason to pull through

[@momo11407]

Imagination is given to humans for a reason. It can literally change someone's life, if used everyday, and combined with the right thoughts to create mental movies about

I’m here after Sasha Braus death. I lost a part of my soul with her death. She was everything combined. Fictional characters can change and impact your life just like real people and their deaths can hurt just as much as real death😭
