I don't know that most fictional characters would really be better? I mean, they're fine and admirable from this side of the screen/page, but a lot of them tend to be, perforce, more high-drama than I'd really like to live in proximity to. Many of my favourite characters are ones I'd steer pretty well clear of in RL. Even the ones that aren't, I think it would be different if you were actually living with them and feeling the consequences of their actions/opinions/lives. What's perfect from a distance isn't necessarily always so up close (and what's flawed from a distance may well be worthwhile given a chance).

I don't really date. I, ah, I tried it once for about two weeks, and was basically kind of baffled by the entire thing. People are very strange, and I don't understand a large percentage of what they do, so while they're fine in short bursts I tend not to want to keep very many of them around long term. The ones I do want to keep (platonically, I've never had much interest in sexuality) are mostly family already, and a couple of friendly acquaintances on an outer tier. But I'm very much fine with that, and if someone happens to come along via work or via some shared interest who seems to be less baffling or at least more pleasantly baffling than I've found so far, maybe I'd try to keep a hold of them. The situation hasn't really come up thus far.

I think it's fine to live in your head if you want to. If it doesn't hurt anyone, you don't have to justify what you want to other people, so long as it makes you happy.

There's just ... maybe a difference between happy and hiding? Be sure that what you're doing makes you happy for its own sake, and not just by comparison to things that have made you feel worse in the past. You don't necessarily have to change it if it's the latter, not immediately, but if it's not helping you on its own merits, maybe don't cling to it too much, and feel able to change if you have to or if something better and worth trying for comes along?

Not that it necessarily will of course, life is sometimes like that, but just keep an eye on yourself for your own sake, and try to keep a hold of the things that make you happy.

Some of my favorite fictional characters are villains! I realize those are probably not the sort of favorite fictional characters OP is talking about, but still... fictional people aren't automatically better than real people.
