This is going to be a bit of a long story, so stick with me. I'll try to cut out all the unimportant details.

I was like young Oreki when I was young myself, being kind to others, or at the very least, staying out of everyone's way. I eventually realized that people would often take advantage of me because of my trusting nature and optimistic approach to life. As I grew older, I became more and more like Oreki before he met Chitanda. His words struck a nerve with me when I first watched Hyouka. Oreki states, "Do I really want to be rose-coloured?", displaying his mindset to examine his subconscious desires versus his conscious desire to have a more "gray" life. My life at the time was very melancholic because I refused to allow people into my life.

I had pushed everyone away except my family, and even then, I was only interacting with them out of bare necessity. All I would do all day was go to university, get home, do my hw, and watch anime all day. Oreki's meeting with Chitanda made him a brighter person despite his listless approach to life. I did meet someone like that at work a few years back, but like young Oreki, I was hurt again. Now I am afraid of making real-life friends, but recently I've been healing a bit through old friends and meaningful anime.

I mean, he is an assassin who can pilot Apache helicopters (yeah and what are the crazy logistics to get one in the middle of Tokyo?) and I am a random nerd who spends at least 12 hours a day behind the keyboard.
One could say we are worlds apart.

it generally represents the feeling, yeah.
and while I have never played the game, I have read the chara description and it pretty much fits :D
- introverted, quiet, fidgety (though I am not that much)

I mean... I'm a cute boy (I hope). Cute femboy boy. Don't really have much in common with him other than that, he's just hot.

I'm happy for you that anime gives you meaning.

What keeps me going in life is fiction in general, and what motivates me to watch / read it is to compare characters to myself.
This is technical, but what I do when analyzing characters is I figure out their Socionics type.
All of the characters in my avatar & signature are Irrational+Subjectivist+Beta+Logical.
The combination above is the Socionics type "SLE." IT'S MY OWN TYPE.

Figuring out a type, I start by determining if they are an "Irrational" type or "Rational" type.

"Irrational" types find themselves victims of circumstance or constantly search for ideal situations that suit their desires.
"Rational" types will not seek ideal situations elsewhere, but try to bend the current situation to what they want.

Second, I try to determine if they are an "Objectivist" type or "Subjectivist" type.

Basically "Objectivist" types have an air of formality about them and have a harder time being candid on their own and prefer other people set the bounds of an interaction.
And "Subjectivist" types are very casual with discussing and contrasting views. They tend to be moral / ethical relativists.

Third, I try to determine what "Quadra" they belong to.

Alpha Quadra is peaceable and has a childlike curiosity. (And are Subjectivists.)
Beta Quadra are resilient and outspoken fighters / survivors with a dramatic flair. They are the most image-oriented. (And are Subjectivists.)
Gamma Quadra are efficient and guarded. (And are Objectivists.)
Delta Quadra are peaceable like Alpha but are "Objectivists."

Fourth, I try to determine if they are Ethical or Logical.

Ethical cares greatly how what they do will affect others.
Logical cares greatly about their own needs.

Yes I relate to the Pre-Conan Mouri Kogoro who was a washed-up detective, barely scraping by, relying on cheap tricks, half-baked absurd deductions, and the occasional lucky break at horse racing and pachinko.
if not for the Black Organization’s meddling, Kogoro might’ve remained a struggling detective forever.

Yeah, there's stuff you can find yourself sharing in common with a lot of characters even if it's only a few things. The characters in my avatar and signature wouldn't be at the top of my list of most relatable characters, but there's stuff about them that I relate to.

Half-yes half-no?

I like and relate to the pure snow maiden type, enduring, vexed (cute pouts), and resilient -especially loyal in relations.

Then again, is it me or do I miss people as feminine or/and as pure as Tsurara in real-life? I could say the same with Astolfo but he's a guy, so he's one step below.

To my avatar, yes, but like about 30%, I have suffered nowhere near as much as Suabru, but I've faced similar hopelessness and powerlessness as him.
