Am in love with a dog from a movie. Is.. is that normal?

[EinTheCorgi]

i know how you feel...kinda you just have a gay crush on a character is all a lot of guys and girls have crushes on anime characters...

 

[Tdc2182]

I was in love with a half-fish girl.

Then again, it was Ariel from the Little Mermaid, so that doesn't count cus she was a babe.

 

[Mercsenary]

sounds like the start of furrydom. the internet will still accept you. bets are off with your friends and family however.

The internet will also hate you for it.

Probably the only one to say this but this is perfectly normal, men who consider themselves straight often have man-crushes and vice-versa for women, people who are underage have been known to fall for people

Except this isn't a man crush. This is a person claiming to be in love with a fictional dog.

That's not perfectly normal.

Acting as though it is, no doubt to fool yourself, will be harmful to the OP. Don't be selfish.

OP, go seek help.

I know it's not just a man-crush hence why I said "extreme example", anyway everyone has had strange crushes before and this is just a particularly odd example but as odd crushes are normal so is this.

Things that are odd are normal now? What is this babble?

You never said "extreme example" before the edit. Don't act as though I'm at fault, when you changed the post after my response.

Is anything not normal to you?

I changed it because I pressed post by accident, didn't you see how I stopped in mid-sentence? Anyway if you're going to be like that then remember that normal means nothing, if there is a normal then there can only be one thing in existance that is normal because everything else would be different and therefore not normal and to answer "Is anything not normal to you?" Gay people are said to copewith odd things better then straight people as they were different growing up.

I'd guess you have fallen in love with the personality of this character, and have built a fondness for the rest of his features as a result of that. It's not uncommon for a person to favor a single part of a person first and then gradually beginning to love the rest of that person. In that respect, I see no problem in it. Since it's not a real dog, and has little to no resemblance to an actual dog, I wouldn't call you a zoophile. And as for being a male personality, well, maybe you're bisexual if you aren't gay. Either way, I say you enjoy what you have. Sooner or later you'll get over it when you start to lose interest. I'll say, however, that if it persists for more than a couple of months you should consider cutting it out of your life, forcefully if necessary. If you substitute actual human contect and emotion with watching this movie, it might have detrimental effects on your life. In that case, you might want to seek some counselling for obsession, but not because you're a mental case.

Hope that helped. <3

Well if you're worried about it, wait a bit. Ya might get over it. I've found that focusing on problems like this can make you blow them waaaaaaay out of proportion.

If the thoughts continue, relax, whatever anyone says to you you're not some freak. You might be just interested in the image of the character (its personality traits) rather than the "person" of the character so to speak.

If its the dog itself that interests you... well, you might be a furry. There are plenty of them around, so its all good.

Whatever the outcome, don't worry so much. It could be worse. It could always be worse.

 

[Grey_Focks]

.....You have got to be joking.

No, it isn't normal. Now either go talk to someone about it, and I mean REALLY talk, not this internet babble, or just ignore it till it goes away. Then again, you say you are already a furry, so I'm just gonna walk away here.

Dude, I can barely understand what you're trying to say here. Is English your first language?

Normal doesn't mean nothing. That's silly. A cancerous cell is not normal, depression is not normal, misaligned tyres on a car are not normal. No doubt you would support treating depression, removing cancer and fixing cars. However now that this mans sexual preference comes into play it suddenly becomes wrong to question it. You adopt the view that people can like whatever they want. However, surely you do not support paedophiles? Surely you don't support rapists? Surely you don't support zoophiles(sp?)?

So why do you support his love (implied sexual) for this animated, childlike, dog?

You didn't respond to my question at all. What do gay people have to do with this? Are you saying they're not normal? I suppose you're right. However some things are further from normal than others.

Where we have to draw the line is where people start getting hurt. Will this mans obsession for this fictional animal damage his life? Of course. It cannot return love. It will earn him ridicule. It will be an embarrassment for him to lug around.

Normal is not a single thing, it is more an area. Like a bell curve. Sure, interpretations vary. I don't think enough interpretations vary to allow "wanting to screw fictional dogs" as being normal. Thankyou.

You didn't really understand what I was saying, first of all I am gay also english is my first language and no obviously i'm not supporting rapist's paedophiles & Zoophiles but my point is that... well i'll try to put it clearly: it's not normal to only be attracted to animals and if that were the case then I would suggest he see a psychiatrist but he said that he has had many girlfriends and that this is the only animal/fictional character/male person he likes, this is just another crush that he will get over, I have had a crush on a fictional character before despite him not being real but I got over it just like any other crush i've had, as have most people, what i'm trying to say is that having a once-off crush on something abnormal is normal.
What I meant by that gay comment is that generally speaking gay people (such as myself) can cope with odd things better then straight people and I tend to assess things a lot before I decide they are not normal.
I hope that cleared things up for you.

The movie is very good, but seriously if you are really that fixated on the character, then no it is not normal. You should try to get on with your life/try and find someone who likes bolt just as much, if not more than you do.

 

[Simalacrum]

I...er...

....This is an odd one.

1. Shouldn't this be in the advice forum?
2. erm... I would try and consult professional help for that particular part dude... that for find a girl/guy IRL with similar attributes to that dog... maybe it's more the personality than the dog itself?

 

[Atmos Duality]

Code 315!
Dispatch control unit! We have a loose furry!

...ok, sorry about that.
In all seriousness, it's definitely a far cry from the most abnormal fetish I've seen; especially on the internet.
For such things, you either grow out of it, or it drives you mad.
Though this seems obvious; definitely seek help if it starts interfering in your life.

My apologies. I didn't realise the end of your post was you suggesting (with no evidence) that you are superior to straight people. I thought you were making a point about the topic at hand.

The movie was released in 2008. Over two years ago.

That seems like more than a crush to me. Regardless, he's ruled out seeking help so I suppose he wants your kind of comments as opposed to mine.

Have a great day.

I wasn't saying I was superior to straight people I was just suggesting a reason why I don't find this as weird as you do, sorry if it sounded insulting.

What movie?

I do think however that if he likes more fictional animals after this then he should seek help.

Thanks, you too

Man, I don't whether it's sad or hilarious that this guy has so many people going with this this retardedly obvious trollery. I mean think about, a guy, (1)on the internet, tells us something as utterly ridiculous as (2)"I am literally in love a cartoon dog", but (3) doesn't want actual advice, only "opinions", and (4)lets us know that we shouldn't try keep his feelings intact, basically giving us permission to light up the torches and sharpen the pitchforks.

You know what he means when he says he doesn't want advice, only opinions? ESPECIALLY to something as clearly bizarre as this? It means he wants REACTIONS. Come on, people, think this through for like, ten seconds.

 

[Lem0nade Inlay]

Is there any way I can prove to you that im serious?

I think you know the irrationality of your statements.

Hey, it's not that irregular for the internet. Ever heard of furries? Weirdos who like fur and tails?

This just seems like a jacked up version of that.


[sub]No offence to Furries...it's just...weird to me[/sub]
