Characters, Protect or Kill

I love myself, I truly do... but whenever there’s a person or character who is similar to my “inner self” I have the urge to kill them. I know my demons and I embrace them. I deem them vital to my survival. I hate manipulative and calculating characters who reminds me of myself. Whenever I have discussions about them with others, I find it hard to relate how they perceived them as “cool” while I just perceive them as a unnecessary existence in the story. I prefer honest characters those who are expressive about their thoughts and feelings no matter how stupid or badly they look. While I really hate those hiding behind a mask, pretentious know it all who left the protagonists wondering if they were supportive of them or just working for their own personal intentions. I seriously can’t stomach them and often drops whatever I was reading because I felt nauseous, thankfully only a few of such characters exists. Especially ones that suddenly pops out somewhere between the middle of the story to the end but has everything “figured it out” are the worsts. It actually took me years to understand why I hate such characters until I realize how similar they are to me. ‘‘Twas a truly an eye opening discovery.
