My question is if anyone has a book/movie/show (or a character from one) that feels like it's a lot like your life but in a different format? I'm mostly posting this because I wanna hear other people's versions of this. If you got some media that feels semi-autobiographical to you I'd like to hear about it. :)

I have one, guess I'm not that original as a person. The one that resonates with me a lot is My Lesbian Experience with Loneliness by Kabi Nagata. It's a manga which talks about her life (mostly her struggles with mental/physical health, socializing, and finances as a young adult.) She's just so raw and honest in that book and I think that's why I like it so much. She doesn't avoid the taboo topics at all. I heavily recommend to lonely people, especially sapphics.

I'm more a combination of Jerry Seinfeld & George Costanza.
Too many character traits to list here. 🥲

You might think I'm being ironic, but I'm not. This image perfectly represents a subhuman like me.

I was going to post something more graphic, but I think this image says it all.

Yozo Oba in Aoi Bungaku, or novel adaptation No Longer Human.
As the protagonist itself is based on the author's real life experiences, I guess it's closer to say I feel a deep connection with his interpretation of life.
It's bizarre how closely resonating his thought processes seem, even if it's a semi-autobiography.

This is so random but my favourite part of watching The Super Mario Brothers Movie was the scenes with Lumalee

Here's a video for of said scenes for those who haven't seen it:



People around me seem to be bothered by my casual pessimistic and nihilistic views but you get to a point when life just seems like a joke and can't help but to laugh - favourite quote is definitely "there's no escape, the only hope is the sweet relief of death"

I relate to characters who have dark pasts, who've been through trauma, pain, chaos and addiction. Sometimes it feels so real like I'm watching myself the acting so good!

Christiane F.
Rue Bennett
Fiona Gallagher
Beth Harmon
Effy Stonem
Ginny Miller
Rae Earl
Beth Moss
Tracy Freeland
Susanna Kaysen
…and the list goes on.
