I guess I have no heroes in my life. I learned fairly recently why you should never meet your heroes. Plus some rabid fanclubs can potentially ruin your heroes for you. :shrug:

re-adjust your definition of "hero" and you will have better luck. read what i wrote about it, por favor

heroes have feet of clay like the rest of us, they are not impeccable, but they do something very important for people outside of their normal circle. that is a working definition of "hero" as well. :idea:

my cousin Y used to be my role model/hero since we were 2 and 3.
I realized a few years ago...
she is just as flawed as anyone else.

she comes off as an intelligent, kind, ethereal, perfect, serene being.
like the aura they try to convey of the elf Arwen (<<liv tyler acting as) in that movie.

even adults looked up to her, like my dad kept telling me to be like her. and elder people would defer to her opinion on any subject.

I feel like you underestimate the sort of 'catch' you appear to be.

On topic: Emma Goldman is as close as anyone. Westside, Conway and Benny because they've made their dream happen.

As a quite successful band from my hometown once said:" my family is full of heroes."

But for someone people might know, I have to go with Christopher Hitchens (RIP). Author, journalist, recovered Marxist, contrarian, orator and dialectic heavyweight brawler.

There are no people I admire, look up to or am inspired by.

There are some whose actions I appreciate. For instance, those who work to save endangered species or help animals in need. It's great and appreciated, but it still doesn't make me see them as heroes or admire them, I just like what they do.
I'm glad there are vets and electricians and garbage men and every other profession we need for a functional society, but it doesn't make me admire them or feel inspired by them.

I absolutely see my mother as an everyday hero, soldiering on in spite of stuff. I respect her of course and love her more than anything or anyone, but does it inspire me?

I do admire the tenacity of animals. Giving up isn't an option for them, they soldier on and try again. Just try working with a dog, you might give up, think a task is hopeless, but the dog is always up for trying again, search on or whatever the task is. Animals are can be inspiring

Can't really say I have heroes either but if we were to equate heroes with posters on your wall my chronological list would be as follows.

The Renault Fuego
Kylie Minogue
Guns & Roses
Tank Girl

Aspie alert: I mean what I say and I say what I mean and I know I might misinterpret the situation when other "vent" :wink:

No sweat! BTW off topic but Bender is now officially my daughter's favourite character on TV - she can't get enough of futurama :lol:

Cool, that's how I got my name here: it used to be my son's favourite show and we watched it together all the time :lol:

She'd probably like Rick & Morty too.

She went through the Ricky and Morty phase along with the "Regular show", "Stephen's universe", "Ben 10", "uncle grandpa" and her all time fave :Adventure time"

I have no heroes, as each person I considered To be a hero ended up being a charlatan.

Ditto with my so-called friends.

I’m better off being a recluse and a hermit.

Bonding with her over that kind of thing and especially over humour and inside jokes in general has a good chance of making you her "hero": I speak from experience :lol:

You should never meet your heroes cause people build them up to e this larger than life mythical figure which they aren't. And you are inevitably going to be disappointed. They aren't superheroes just ordinary flawed human beings. (unless they are
