Because of the phrasing, I guess? I've been deliberately single for years, but this feels different, and a lot of people are picking up on it. I get the wanting to protect yourself from the possibility of abuse, but I think it is a problem if potential partner starts being equivalent with potential abuser.

It does depend on how OP perceives things, of course, which we do not know.

The real problem with fictional characters, though, is that real people can never measure up to them - even the ones with flaws, because in your fantasy you can play out those flaws in such a way it will not affect your imaginary relationship.

What I mean is: if OP want to be single for a while, not have relationships, I'm totally cool with that.

But if they are holding up real people to the same criteria as idealized fictional characters, then not dating real people because they obviously can't measure up, then yeah I do think that might not be healthy.

I guess I didn't really get that impression from the secret. I got the impression that OP just had a lot of bad experiences with real life relationships, and as such they are now turning to staying on their own and enjoying fictional realities because why bother with the pain and frustration of real life relationships for so little reward?

I can sympathize with that feeling, though from exactly the opposite direction. If OP has already tried something and it's not working for them, let them try something else and see if that makes them happier.
