How do I make this feeling go away, it sucks?

Question by boomurdead23: How do I make this feeling go away, it sucks?
God, this is pathetic and embarrassing. I’ve been dealing with this for 2 weeks and I just decided to get on Yahoo and ask the mental health division about this. So here I go.

I am a gaming geek, I accept that, thats not what I’m embarrassed about though. I played these games 2 weeks ago called Mass Effect 1 and 2 (not sure that really matters but there it is). It’s a story based game mostly centered around the story than the gameplay, it’s more like a movie that lets you make choices in what you do. Well there are a couple of characters in this game that you make relationships with throughout the story. If you want to do some reading on it, heres the wikis

So I was playing this, and I don’t want to go into detail about everything in the game, but you get a choice on who you want to “romance” in the game, I chose a character called Tali.

So, I finished the game, no problem, like any other game. But after a day or two, I began to feel…depressed is the best word I can find for it. I don’t want to use depressed because that just feels like the wrong word to use, but it’s a horrible feeling in my stomach that just sucks. I knew it had to do with that character Tali and that game. So I logged on to the Mass Effect forum to see if any one else was complaining of this. It seems that the different characters have a lot of fans just dedicated to them, I found threads with hundreds of pages with fan fics, drawings, pleads for that character to be in Mass Effect 3. I’m not sure if that is relevant, i don’t feel the need to draw a picture of Tali then post it up on a forum or anything…I mean, i’m sure these are nice people posting on these forums, but I dont want to end up like them, worshipping a made up character…I dunno…This character is cute cuz she stumbles over her words when she talks to you at the end and shes smart…God this is pathetic…just how do I make this feeling go away so I can get back to my life, I’ve played through the game again to no avail, each time I get off the game I feel horrible again. I’m 16 and never had a girlfriend if thats relevant.

I understand these are really strange circumstances, please, just try your best with the information I’ve given you.

Thanks for the answers

You’re not crazy, and you’re definetly not pathetic.
I think perhaps you got emotionally attached to your dream girl character.
Definetly sucks, but wean yourself off of the game and her, and distract yourself.
it’ll be alright 🙂
