Fictional characters might not be real, but our relationships with them are.
Studies show it’s difficult for our brains to distinguish between our familiarity with characters on TV and our personal relationships with real people. The effect is so strong that just thinking about watching your favorite TV show can make you feel less lonely.

Reminds me a little of the mere-exposure effect.Â

Neurons that fire together wire together. Mental states become neural traits. Day after day, your mind is building your brain. This is what scientists call experience-dependent neuroplasticity.

How Obsessive Thinking Affects Mood
Thought precedes feeling. Always. No thought, no emotion. The system is electrochemical in nature. Your nervous system has a number of receptors. These receptors accept certain molecules with a particular shape like keys in a lock. Every time a key fits into a lock an electrical impulse is sent to particular areas of the brain which produce an emotional effect. So, the more of these molecules in the system the more keys in the locks and the more powerful the emotional response.Â
Obsessive thinking is circular thinking. That is to say you are caught up in a feedback loop. The same repetitive thought occurs again and again and each time adds to the number of keys associated with that emotion. Often this emotion is fear or despair. The system can become overwhelmed and then you have a panic attack or an attack of suicidal depression.Â
It all comes from oversaturation of these brain chemicals. Certain drugs will prevent this from happening. One is alcohol. In the short term one of alcohols effects is reducing the number of fear keys in the locks by blocking receptors so that the keys do not reach the lock. This is why you think you can dance when you are drunk or you think that you can beat up the linebacker minding his own business in a corner of the bar.
Stop the thought, stop the emotion.
Break your negative obsessive cycles and choose to indulge in the positive obsessions that bring you joy! Love Captain Marvel? Step into her shoes for the day and lay down some new mental circuits!
the idea of changing your thought patterns is wild
like if someone changes your beliefs about something, or if you’re training yourself to think more positively
you’re consciously changing the way your neurons fire by firing other neurons
so basically electricity happens and then other electricity happens and then the first electricity happens differently
psychology is fascinating
Taking a step outside your ordinary patterns can do amazing things!Â
Such a fun video! Glad to see our theories being explored scientifically.Â
