Hi,
This is going to probably sound weird, not trying to be offensive but does anyone else like reading fan-fiction with characters that have incontinence and anxiety? For context, I was looking at an RDJ interview one day about Iron Man, and ran across the website archiveofourown.org (also called AO3)I found there's a lot of fan fics with the tag "Hurt/Comfort," "Anxiety," "Wetting," "Incontinence," "Age Regression/De-Aging,"etc. I don't know if it's related to abandonment issues with my father or trauma of my twin dying when we were infants, but I find the stories kind of comforting. Some are actually centered around comfort and some are just the characters dealing with their issues. For example, there's the character James "Bucky" Barnes, Captain America's best friend. There's a bunch of stories about him having a traumatic brain injury from brainwashing and then dealing with incontinence afterwards. Then there's stories where he has no injuries but age regresses to cope with his PTSD (NON-SEXUAL). So I don't know, am I weird for reading these? I have seen some psychologists on TikTok say that looking for comfort in escapism, wishing someone can just save the day and make you feel better, etc is a sign of trauma.
Also for the people that don't think I'm nuts, the thread for "Tony Stark Acting as Peter's Father Figure" is absolutely adorable, so many awesome stories.
I actually started reading them not long after I deleted my account here the first time, and still read them when I'm sleepy.
Unrelated, I also think I have dyscalculia not sure if that affects you not recognizing when you need to pee or not. But I've done research (online and a few Psych classes back in college) and it seems like I have that too. Probably should have been tested in elementary school.
