Discussion Did you ever have a show or a movie that felt like you were being called out directly?

I can't really rewatch Bojack Horseman (I'll watch video essays but I can't watch it again) or Tear Along the Dotted Line. Just with those two specifically, I'll ruminate about how I feel and how my depression (and attempts) will affect the other people around me. Idk, I guess I just don't like feeling I'm being called out

Could it be the beginning of psychosis, the feeling that music or TV is talking to you? It's called delusion of reference? I've had it a lot, it sucks. Then it fades to feeling like you're being called out which is a reduced form

Bojack for me also, too many times. Not a show but a song, I've felt as if it was written with laser focus on my head is Day After Day (The Show Must Go On) by Alan Parsons Project. I love the song, but I can't listen to it, it hurts too much.

Oh I meant more metaphorically. Like a character will act or think a certain way, and then I start thinking "Oh, is that me? Do I do that?" and I spiral from there
