With Sturgeon's Law in place, a lot of characters simply aren't worth caring about like that.
And some people just don't connect with fictional characters as well as others, anyway. Keep reading for fun, and if you find a character who resonates with you, you'll connect on your own.
Like the above poster, yes. It is not really weird NOT to get attached to characters with ease.
I would add that it is also normal to get attached to characters with relative ease. It is probably healthier NOT to get attached, though...!
It has always been the prerogative of children and half-wits to point out that the emperor has no clothesApparently it's advised when you are reading A Song Of Ice And Fire.
I haven't read it myself, so I don't really know how much of this whole "Every main character dies" bit is true or exaggeration.
Continuously reading, studying, and (hopefully) growing.when I get to a part where a character is in danger, I skip ahead to see if I can spot that character's name....sometimes it works well, other times, not so well.
I tend to get very attached to characters, but my twin never does, so there's that.
Got a degree in Emotional trauma via fictional characters aka creative writing. hosting S'mores party in Hell for fellow (evil) writersI would never read spoilers or look ahead, but if I know that many characters will die (not a literature example but this worked when I watched Dangan Ronpa), I just...look at them differently. I'm like, yeah, they'll die, I won't even think about getting attached. And, surprisingly enough, that works.
No you can't call me Jar(i) I am not a glass containerI rarely get attached to book characters, but it happens. It works best for me with videogames, then I can really get attached strongly to characters. Although I'm not the kind who gets an emotional breakdown when they die, either, since, you know, you can always play from the start again and there they are, alive.. it's just not quite the same as in real life.

For the longest time, I've had such a hard time getting attached to characters in basically anything, but this is more prevalent in any sort of literature. I mean, I'll like the characters and find them to be a cool concept, but if they die or something absolutely horrific happens to them, I just won't care. My friends might be crying over them, and I'll just be going "Yeah alright, they're dead. Okay."
And I just want to know if anyone else has this happen to them.
