That's the tough part, because even if you're not playing as the character itself and their emotions aren't your emotions, it's totally easy to come to really care about what happens to that character anyway. When things go wrong for them, it's a lot like watching a close friend get kicked in the nuts, and it's hard not to care, even if it's not a real person.
I suppose the best solution is to play totally unsexy characters. Though the same problem could pop up just through genuine platonic-style conflict if it gets vicious enough, I expect.
