Guys, you're missing the giant red flashing sign

I feel like the majority of people in this thread are missing what I believe to be the key point in this secret:

Everyone OP has been with has treated them like crap, and so they now think that anyone they form a relationship with in the real world will treat them like crap.

That's the part that indicates that OP might not be entirely healthy. It's fine to not want a relationship; it's fine to prefer being alone. It's not fine if you're consistently winding up with abusive people, or if you start to think that the only non-abusive people in the world are fictional characters. That's a pretty glaring sign that something has gone very, very wrong.

idk, there's also the possibility that OP expects their SO to be perfectly unselfish all the time, never be angry, and never disagree with them, and anything else is regarded as bullying and abuse.

Yes, but it also begs the question: were they actually abusive, or did OP just perceive them as being that way because they didn't live up to a false standard of perfection?

The thing is that since fictional characters are, well, FICTIONAL, you're in complete control of the situation. I can see how that's alluring for somebody who has made negative experience with relationships. However, speaking as a psychologist, it's also completely unhealthy in the long run.
