I can understand how this feels, at least romance-wise. But at the same time, it's entirely possible to have a non-rigid idea of what you want, and be open to finding it out there in the world.

Some days I want to retreat into fandom and pretend so-and-so is my "husband" or whatever. But I know it's not real. I know I need to find some real friends, because that's what I need. And I know it won't be some perfect fated encounter like in every epic story. It'll just be what it is. But that doesn't mean I can't appreciate it for what it is.

You kind of sound like you're still trying to figure things out, though. No one wants to be persecuted just for being themselves. And everyone should have the chance to choose their own path. But being so bothered by others' disapproval that you're letting that dictate your life choices isn't the answer, either. Part of being true to yourself is taking things as they come, letting others think and say what they want, and genuinely not giving a shit about the haters.
