Time, you can fall out of love with anything.

Yes

I don't

I love Reisen!

I love Toobie but not in a lewd way and she should be with 9S.

I have OP
What exactly do you mean by coping though?

I lost salt because of you
BIG
WHOOOOOOOORE

>How do you cope?
Are you implying there's anything wrong with that?

Make a VR room and marry her like this guy did

Marisa is the peanut butter to my jam!

I cope by trying to make her proud every day, and also by purchasing merch.

...okay?

Yes
I dunno, I just kinda keep doing what I do
In a few days it'll have been 3 years, but I don't really get super depressed about it anymore
Sure, the loneliness still gets to me, but being a waifufag is both part of the problem, and the coping mechanism for the problem
Not that I'm any less serious, I just have other problems that i'm focusing on instead

>What exactly do you mean by coping though?
Having a waifu isn't as completely self-fulfilling to everyone as it likely is for you, some of us still long for physical connection

Whoa. Their culture is just so much more advanced than ours desu.

>still long for physical connection
What kind of connection do you have to an imaginary character?

Well, I understand that.
I'd say it's a matter of time, as the years pass you'll find yourself growing accustomed to it.
At least that's what it was like for me, I have a tendency to not worry about things out of my control

Tracer

The day she was announced a lesbo pretty much broke me. This was my first serious waifu, I didn't know how to handle the loss. Like I legit cared for her on a deep level, she was fun, cute, and just perfect.

I still think it's love, but that doesn't mean it wouldn't be nice for someone to actually be there and reciprocate the feelings I have

Part of me hopes it doesn't get to that, both loneliness and social isolation play a large part in my depression
Having an actual partner would help immensely with that, although I don't really know how that'd turn out with me having feeling for more than one person/character
Right now I'm trying not to worry of think heavily about that though, im focusing on fixing other problematic areas of my life first

I fell in love with Zero until I found out he's not a girl and it made me feel confused.

Friendly reminder that avatarfagging is against the rules.

Not really. I'm pretty lonely, so whenever I finish a really good JRPG or romance VN/movie or whatever it just feels like how I feel when I'm getting broken up with and rejected and it throws me into a slump for a pretty long while.

I absolutely refuse to rewatch the movie Your Name for this reason. It is supposed to be a sweet ending, but seeing anything romantic happen just flings me into a borderline manic depressive state.

Yeah sure. Dunno if you're just memeing or not but whatever kind of connection you might imagine to have with a character isn't going to compare with the connection you would have with another person. It's not just that it's not physical. The character is just a bunch of ideas and representations. It's not conscious.

Yes, and I cope by fucking her in Honey Select every night

...

We don't need this shit thread everyday

Mhm, and I just manage

Can I watch her getting fucked by black bulls in Honey Select?

If I was gay I would totally love Kiryu.

Yeah, I'm not memeing, and I do understand that real love is something largely different, but I do still feel something strong towards Gardevoir
Which is partly why I do want a real relationship, because I want the real deal
But for now, what I feel currently isn't exactly fake either, it's just something... different

what the fuck is wrong with you, its a fucking pokemon you degenerate

>Gardevoir
Wait that's a fucking pokemon kek.
Damn the LARPing never ends here.

You didn't notice from the previous images?
Also I don't LARP

Is this a real thing? I've had it, a few people I know have had it... apparently some of you have/had it... is there a name for this?

Yes, it's called autism.

>You didn't notice from the previous images?
Dude I only recognize 2 or 3 pokemons. I had to look it up.
>Also I don't LARP
Yeah you do. Bigly.
It's OK I like memes too.

waifuism

>is there a name for this?
Being way too single.

No, you sad cunt.

I want normies to leave.
I want them OUT
NORMIES OUT
GTFO OF OUR BOARD GTFO OF OUR BOARD GTFO OF OUR BOARD OUT OUT OUUTTT REEEEE ROOOO REEEEEEE

Ok

I'm brought solace when I remember she doesn't have to deal with the people of this world.

I'm trying to get into AI development. If only they knew of my plans

I just don't understand how people fall in love with a fictional character.

It's not even true love, it's just pure infatuation with something that doesn't even exist. They don't feel anything about you. You're just mistaking your own fantasy as something called love.

If you actually talked to a special someone in real-life you'd actually know what true love is and quite frankly none of you fucks do not understand this concept. It's all fakery and delusions.

"true love" is a meme, especially when people will throw such relationships away for trivial reason.

Yes.

What do you believe the word "love" means? What does it stand for?

>he likes fatties who cheat

Good point.
Seeing what many people think of her makes me glad she's not here

Love isn't necessarily reciprocal

Sad weeaboo faggot

It's when 2 conscious beings love and act intimate with each other and understanding their own existence. That's true love.

>it's only love when it's mutual
Never loved in my life h-haha!

That's a romantic relationship
Love is a feeling that doesn't need both aides to feel the same to be love

well technically it's a reproductive function that is activated via chemical release

>I just don't understand how people fall in love with a fictional character.
Well they don't have real women interested in them, so they focus on the fictional ones.
You could say they could still have to same kind of relationships with real people even if they don't love them back (because why not?), but when they're not interested in you it's easier to move on and not develop too many feelings. Specifically because they are real.
Also you could argue that you don't love or interact with other people directly, but rather through a representation of them within your own mind. That representation will be incomplete and dynamic and that's what makes it real. But some people develop such elaborate fantasies of their waifus that it becomes somewhat real to them. They do not truly have another mind within their own, but they have the same kind of representation of it they would have with a real person.
That kind of isolation is very much a product of modern society, and of the winner-takes-all hook up culture in particular when it comes to romantic relationships.

Not quite. They almost got me with this but I realised their plan soon enough.

When I was a kid I wanted to be with that creepy elf girl from The Dark Crystal, though

What can I say, Koharu-chan is my ideal girl

I find it funny when people call me that. I'm the worst weeaboo you'll ever meet.

Love is the genuine and overpowering concern for the well-being of someone or something other than yourself. That's why love is such a crazy emotion.

like this

there are some important 3D women..

Robosexual leaf, is that you?

perhaps

>The day she was announced a lesbo pretty much broke me.
She's a fictional character, user. She can be any sexuality you want. I still waifu Tracer, and plan to love her until the day I fucking die.

>But some people develop such elaborate fantasies of their waifus that it becomes somewhat real to them.
That's how you know when someone doesn't truly love the character. How can you call it love if you're deciding everything for them? It takes what little characteristics they have, and pushes them to the side to make more room for what they want.

What do you mean by love?

I imagine it's more of being in love with the idea of the character rather than the actual character

Or they develop those characteristics.
Same way writers create characters in the first place. They don't make them in completely arbitrary ways, they try to simulate a real person and maintain consistency.

I've become infatuated with characters that remind me of a dear friend of mine

Characters don't have well-being or a self even. How you can have concern for something that is unchanging?

No that's pathetic and retarded

{{{}}}

>Characters don't have well-being or a self even.
Not with that attitude.

The being in love with the idea of the character while pushing aside what is know of the character would be an oxymoron that defeats itself.

That would make some sense. Take what is known about the character for certain and make a bunch of guesses based off of that, but don't ever contradict the canon.
I can easily and willingly admit I've fantasized about Miku. About what she might say or do in different situations, but I never try to say for certain that she would be that way. I enjoy the mystery about her.

It's a difficult thing to describe to someone who has never felt it. I see Miku and desire more than anything to see her continue to be successful in what she does, to protect her from the hurts and dangers of the world. In general, I want to make make her happier than anyone else could.
Whether she can reciprocate or feel the way I feel for her isn't important, because MY desire to see her happy is what makes me love her more than anything.

pic related was my first and only waifu years ago

To everyone asking why would somebody fall in love with a fictional character, its because I was fucking lonely as shit. There's no deeper meaning. I'm willing to bet everyone else in here who has a waifu also feels lonely as shit or has issues connecting with people.

i killed myself

>Tali
Excellent taste user.
It's the first time I kind of felt I could relate to a girl and that she could like me.

That's how I felt as well. Still kinda look for her traits in women when I'm on the prowl.

It's hard knowing he isn't real

I love Kasumi!

literally commit suicide for the good of the human race. if people like you pass your genes on we're all fucked.

That would be an unnecessary precaution in my case.

>issues connecting with people.
Haha, someone finally figured me out! But not completely! I've always been very antisocial, but even after having a moderate crush on someone in middle school, I never really thought or cared about getting into a relationship with anyone -not even for purely sexual reasons. Me feeling the way I do about Miku didn't initially come from a desire to be close to someone, or desire for sexual release. I saw her and felt that seeing her happy made me happy. Weeks later I realized she became one of my favorite things, and months later I realized that I wanted more than anything to be to one to make her happy. Years later and I still feel the same way. It's a fantasy and I understand that, but it's fine by me because I know I can't function very well in social environments so I wouldn't be able to serve he as well as I would want to.

>ywn have gay robot sex with a grumpy long-haired fighting android

why is life so bad?

I was gonna post this, it'll be okay, Buddy.

What would you do if your waifu was depressed?

fix her programming

I WANT TO MARRY CHLOE PRICE

Love her more.

she's a thot

Cheer her up of course!

I'm genuinely curious, how many of you would say that 2D girls "ruined" real women for you (in terms of looks, personality etc).

Try to make her feel better while trying to figure out what was wrong on my own, and if I can't figure out on my own I'd ask her so I could help solve the problem.

>personality
3D girls ruined themselves

>2D girls "ruined" real women
kek that's just a fucking meme. No one prefers a 2D girl over a real one outside of Sup Forums memery.
It's just that when you fall back on fantasy you might get used to it. And then you don't develop the skills to deal with and compete for real women so it's kind of a vicious circle.

I remind myself that nothing like

>>isn't going to compare with the connection you would have with another person
>he believes in the existence of love
I hate to burst your bubble, mate, but it's the exact same shit, and I can tell you that from experience. The same chemical-charged, unhealthy fixation waifufags have for fictional characters is the same shit they would have for a real woman. Only difference with a real person is that they have the conscious ability to pretend to reciprocate, only to take advantage of your obsession. There's no such thing as a true connection.
>inb4 who hurt you

Nuff said

>No one prefers a 2D girl over a real one outside of Sup Forums memery
>no one prefers a 2D girl over a real one
>outside of Sup Forums memery
Oh, my sweet summer child...

>you can't handle a REAL women
{{{you}}}

I don't prefer 2D or 3D. I fell for a girl I genuinely love.

>muh love is just chemical XD
Concious thought is just chemicals and electric charges. Pretending something ceases to be a real experience just because you learn the biological explanation for it is Neckbeardism 101.
