This book also gave me an existential crisis when I read it as a teen. What about this seems like a troll?[/quote]

It seems trolly because nobody I know gets attached to fictional characters or gets that emotional over them. It’s weird to have a crisis over something that’s not real. [/quote]
I guess you've never met a teenager[/quote]

It seems like that PP might have met a small slice of humanity. People of all ages get attached and emotional over fictional characters all the time.

And they're missing the point that growing up and leaving childhood behind is very real and immediate to a teenager. A fictional book can have themes that connect to your real life, and it's pretty common to have an emotional reaction to that.[/quote]
+1, well said[/quote]

PP here. I am on the autistic spectrum so I don’t understand fiction. I always hated having to read fictional books for school. Additionally, both of my parents and my grandfather were engineers so I was always surrounded by people who were logical and rational to a fault. [/quote]

Then get the heck out of a discussion of fiction. Also, I don't believe you. [/quote]
