Im what’s known as a personality shifter hence why my post flow changes depending on the mood usually depending on the last person I’ve “Copied”
Currently my brain seems to have taken a liking to “The observer” the creator of Fushi the orb
Last person I copied Iron will Iron Jail
Devonte the one
Ninja hero: edge shot
And other names you’d probably have no idea of, I have a very enhanced form of “Mirroring” so my brain auto copies any personality I find intresting or that really sticks out with a preference towards a few “Ominous figures” comes to mind as well as other preferences as well that for some reason my brain just likes.
A charcter who mimics the personalities and even abilities of those around them would be great for me.
I’m somewhat disappointed that Echo’s kit as a whole didn’t have more of a copy vibe to it. It would have been a neat design, but maybe it doesn’t really play that well and thus Echo uses up all that design space .
Educate yourself before looking foolsih online please.
Both autism and empaths are entirely different things even from each other mirroring dosen’t require you to even sympathize with the other person you can just take they personality and use it how you want.
I mean ultimately the copy niche is a kind of hard thing to nail in Overwatch as a whole.
Tanks and Healers (mostly healers) almost having a complete monopoly on utility, so being able to add an extra mobility option like Nade, Res or Cleanse would be insanely difficult to balance when those abilities have traditionally been difficult to balance in kits that already have them.
Plus it would fall kinda flat when swapping is already a key factor in Overwatch’s design already. It wouldn’t be very interesting to borrow parts of another characters kit when you can just play that character by going to spawn and hitting H.
I don’t need 20+ posts from reddit. It’s still a game. If it helps someone as a coping mechanism for whatever they’re dealing with, fine. But it’s right up there with someone trying to convince me not to take the bus because they drew the chariot card and the moon is rising in mercury.
See this part of your argument I just shut down by scrolling up, your trying to do something I never claimed I dont know if I pissed you off or something? Im sorry?
Like you were cleary trying to do something and play like this big bad above me card or something?
But I said this exactly.
I was just trying to spread some education and knowledge… but yeah I perfectly said empathy isnt a requirement.
As in I never claimed to be an empath.
Like Ive got the google searchs research and etc on deck I just thought this was a chance to have an honest conversation and spread some knowledge… excuse me if I misread the situation.
It seems like you took this the wrong way and know your trying to attack me from whatever other direction you can possible or your trying to clutch in a “Win” somewhere
Ehhh whatever
Like Im legitimately not treating this as a hostile encounter or a bad faith argument… just a misunderstanding I guess?
I’m not sure if it’s technically mirroring or something else entirely, but I actually understand what Ayanga is talking about here. I was a little surprised, because admittedly I’ve experienced something similar, if not the same. I realized that I inherited some mannerisms from characters who appeal to me, too. Sometimes it happens on the fly, when I’m paying a lot of attention to some specific character at the time, but in a couple of cases it’s had a more permanent influence on me
At some point in my life, I was honestly feeling troubled about it, and even worried that I somehow didn’t actually have a personality of my own. I think I’ve developed a much stronger sense of my own identity in more recent times, so that’s thankfully no longer a concern. I’m confident now that I do have my own personality, but at the same time, I can definitely see aspects of it that were influenced by other sources
Speaking from experience, it’s not some kind of over-the-top thing where you literally pretend to be the character, or think you ARE them. You’re definitely still you. You just end up talking kind of like the character sometimes, or reacting similarly to how they might react to some things. It feels almost reflexive
(Apologies if the experience I’m describing is actually something different)
You are both treating this as a hostile encounter, and misunderstanding. But like I said, you’ll get there, if you do the work.
It’s natural to emulate things you admire. Every human being does it. There’s even a saying that “you are the average of the 5 people you interact with most.”
If it’s reflexive, as you say, it’s normal. If it’s not coherent with your real personality, people notice, even subconsciously, and it will have an affect on those interactions.
