I'm sometimes deeply uncomfortable with seeing flaws I recognise in myself reflected back at me in fictional characters, but I'm compelled despite (or pehaps because of) that. I don't know whether I'm more or less forgiving of flaws I recognise on some level as my own, but they're a point of vulnerability for me regardless, and a very effective place for a character to get their hooks into me.
