Why do I like stories that fuck with my emotions?

[Deserter2]

If it rips my heart out I'll invariably cherish it.

Because they are fun to feel. I recommend "Ayaka: A Story of Bonds and Wounds" for this. I was high as a kite when I watched it so the climax might be a bit less impactful than I am imagining but it did it well.

But if that's not what you meant perhaps Attack on Titan?

Life is too plain, and you miss having feelings like when you were younger. This is me projecting 😁

Well yeah, that’s a sign it’s written well lol you relate to the characters, you want what’s best for them, and you’re happy when they’re happy. That’s what good stories do, they rip your heart out

Because you're a human being with emotions

Only you can answer this question.

[Deserter2]

No I can't, that's why I asked!

[Taniisokay]

Unsolved trauma maybe but if you doesn't affect your daily life then fine.

Have you read the stories of Christian martyrs?

[Deserter2]

Nope

[Maybeyoutoo]

Why?
