When you read a book or watch a movie, to what degree do you relate to the story being told or the characters?

I have to relate to it on some degree or I can’t consume it at all. If the character is completely unlikable, like a majority of the cast in adult cartoons such as Family Guy and Big Mouth, I can’t watch it because it either bores me or upsets me.

To a certain degree. More then anything I can see myself living that particular story.

Thank you!

When I read a book or watch a movie, I find myself deeply immersed in the story. My first priority tends to relate to the characters' emotions and personalities. Especially in art and indie films, where the storytelling dives into deeper human emotions, I connect with their experiences. This connection allows me to experience a wide range of emotions and understand different perspectives. It's like living multiple lives through stories. 🎭📚

Depends. Sometimes there's nothing really relatable and I'm just reading/watching something for a practical reason or to prep a project.

I feel like I’m more invested in the characters’ lives if I’m reading about them.

It depends on the book or the movie.

They don't relate to anything in my life.

It really depends on the book or movie.

Depends on the content I guess
