No one's saying they need a romantic relationship.

The problem is that they have a very unhealthy view of reality. And I say this as someone who crushes on fictional characters. The thing is, I don't isolate myself and give up on everyone because they aren't 100% perfect like my fictional husbando or waifu.

Yeah, OP is insane but you're healthy and so much better than OP. But you don't mean it like that, honest! You're just trying to be nice! No, you insinuated it, as did many others in this thread.

I know it's annoying to hear "fictional characters are better than people" but I've seen the billions of threads where people admit they think about their OTP before going to sleep or play elaborate fantasies in their head when they're at work or whatever. You cannot tell me in all serious that no one else in the world has a fantasy life and it helps them. That is how some people cope. I've seen so many secrets admitting they want to commit suicide but their fanfic is keeping them alive, and everyone encourages them. Now all of a sudden it's horrific and so sad and not healthy to quit dating and crush on Mickey Mouse? Who is it hurting? How does "Oh I can crush on Brad Pit or Person X I see 2 times a week now instead of Mickey Mouse" such a healthy and better mindset?

It's interesting what effect tone has on a crowd, because the victim blaming in this thread is unreal.

There's a pretty significant difference between using a fantasy life to cope with things and retreating completely into a fantasy life. People are seeing the latter in this secret, and that's what they're reacting to.
