why do i keep thinking about my father figure? i feel like i rely on him for everything in my life

ambitiousMelon5631 November 28th

so recently i just got casted into this show, and one of the cast members really stands out to me. he knows that i see him as a father figure, and hugs me a lot at rehearsals. however, when i’m not at rehearsals, all i can ever do is think about him.


my dad was not the ideal father that you would want in your life. he cheated on my mom with her best friend, proceeded to have my mom’s ex best friend move in, all while trying to lie to me and tell me that they were both just “really good friends” i never believed him and i was yelled at a lot during that time. i’ve never trusted him since. i really feel like i might be extremely emotionally connected to my father figure, but i can’t really put my finger on why he’s on my mind 24/7.

It sounds like you're processing a lot of emotions tied to your past and this new connection. The bond you feel with your castmate might stem from the fatherly presence you’ve longed for, given your experiences with your own dad.
