Does anyone else on here become so mentally and emotionally involved with their favorite person, that they basically live their life through THEIR lens, or, at least, live among the terms of "What would so-and-so think?"

I may have done this as a distraction (I won't go into details, but I was at the toughest part of my life and would've LOVED to be ANYONE else), but has anyone else done the same thing?

I feel like it's obscured who I used to be. I know that I just need to get back into my own groove, and since I'm starting college soon, I may be able to be "me" again.
