Is it bad that I'm applying literary analysis to my real life?
In which way, exactly?

if you're planning to turn experiences into stories, it might help collate everything into structured stories.

I interpret the events of my life as symbolic, ie. pretend that my exes are representative of opposing forces of fleshly pleasures and love in my life ect

Nothing wrong with that I do that too. In a week where I was falling in love with a girl, I had noticed that I kept on seeing dead animals on the side of the road. It was pretty weird.

I do this shit too. In fact I've read so much philosophy that I interpret everything as predestined and basically just let life take me along. So far I guess I've been quite lucky because I'm about to finish university with a good job and have gotten laid despite having basically zero internal ambition.
Literature is real life.

No, it's not strange. I think I lot of people do similar things. Since I'm sort of obsessed with movies, I always relate to my life in cinematic conventions. As a kid, when I forgot something, I used to imagine a jump cut/zoom in on the thing I forgot, sitting on my bed or something.
If I remember a series of advents, sometimes I see them as "flashbacks" or that things where a bunch of snapshot polaroids are thrown on top of one another.

I also kind of am seeing where my life takes me.
Then you are working in the Picture Theory, aren't you?
Nothing bad with it inherently, but I believe that it will eventually lead to confounding actuality and it is a purely formal way of viewing the world.
I apply critical theory to real life
It means you're ascending. Can't say much more but keep it up and more will be unveiled.
