Hello,

I want to find a word with this meaning

“When you put yourself inside another person’s character.”

“When you feel that you are another person because of extreme interest to that person.”

I know we have a word in English “Double” , "when two people ba exactly the same maybe in another part of the world "
but I want to find a word for >> the feeling that some people have when they feel they are another person , maybe after watching an action movie , e.g. “Bruce Lee”.

thanks in advance

Thank you all my friends ,

Here are some more notes :
I dont mean to feel another person’s feeling
I want >> " A feeling that some people has because they think/Feel ( It isnt real , just an imagination so not “sympathic” , “empathic” ) Now they are e.g. the main character of movies or cartoons & maybe in life and so on .

My desired word is a Noun
We have a word twins , doubles , … for similar people

I want a noun for thinking at a moment you are double with someone else ,
and you can do everything that person do , and maybe you have similar situation and position and now maybe you have to fight with same enemies !

maybe if I wanted to define that word myself I build a word like :

Double-Thought-ness

extremely thanks

Ok thanks , so I think that it is the closest word to what I have been seeking ,

also I forgot to give my thanks to ‘lost_soul’ because of the word “Wanabees” , It is also great
but it has two differences with my desired word :
1 . I wanted a noun for the feeling , not the people who feel such that
2 . Their work is intentional , what I was talking about is caused by the effect of another character to you .

anyway these are useful words , thank you all , and keep going :wink:
