Okay, so I hear people saying that aegosexual involves not self-inserting into fantasies. But I'm not sure if I'm self-inserting or not. I'll imagine two characters, but then I'll still be feeling their emotions as if I were them - just the same way I would if I were watching an action movie and imagining being the protagonist fighting all the battles, or any other movie really. It's still about the fictional character (I never imagine myself as myself) but I'm imagining being the character... So, is that self-inserting or not??
