"Do you get emotionally involved with things or not? And why?" I have few items or personal effects that are irreplaceable. Mainly photographs, and a few select items that were gifts from people special to me, particularly those departed. The important things in life are not things. | |||

"Reading through the your first mobile phone thread I am amazed at how many people remember what their first one was and how they seem to be emotionally attached to an inanimate object. I don't get emotionally attached to inanimate objects nor am I particularly nostalgic. I also don't get emotional over fictional characters/situations in books/tv shows/movies. Do you get emotionally involved with things or not? And why?" You are(genuinely) interesting. Bit of a gitty cop out but why WOULDN'T you empathise with a fictional character or inanimate object? | |||

"No. I have both feet firmly in reality. Nothing wrong with leaving reality for a while, isn’t that why we read novels, watch films etc "I don't read as many novels as I used to. Mainly read non-fiction. Watch mostly factual programming and would rather watch a decent documentary film than a fictional one. But it is still all escapism. I escape for the length of the film, show or amount of time I'm reading for. But once it's over that is it for me. And I very rarely watch more than the first series of something so prefer mini-series. I still don't get emotionally involved with any of it. For me it is the construction of the story being told rather than the actual plot which draws me in. | |||

"Depends. I attach sentimentality to objects. So if my kids gave me seashells then I would develop an affection for them and get a bit sad if anything happened to them. I cry at sad things. Be them real or imagined. Because I would imagine how someone in that situation would feel, and I’d get sad, maybe tearful and because it often reminds me of something that holds sad memories. If that makes sense? " I get sentimentality to objects from family. Yes what you wrote makes sense
What I don't get is being emotionally attached to say your phone. And I've never been emotional over fictional characters - but then it's not character or plot which I look for but more how it's constructed. | |||
