I had a similar issue OP. When I was younger I used to like imagining myself as the sidekick to whatever character/characters I was really enjoying at the time. Even to the point where I wrote short stories in notebooks but never published them anywhere. Then I'd get sad realising how much I'd suck in reality and those characters would never in a million years pick me because I'd be incompetent.

So basically, I think what you're feeling is nothing others haven't felt before BUT...

Another comment kind of touched on this...I eventually learned fiction is fiction for a reason. Most of the cool characters we enjoy would probably die really quickly if they were real people. It's nice enough to imagine these things, that's a big part of why we consume fiction. But DO NOT compare yourself to fictional worlds and characters! The challenges we face in reality can often be a lot worse tbh because it doesn't follow a neat narrative. In a way, you're more awesome for coping with real life than a fictional hero who, by their nature and who is writing them (us) is guaranteed (usually) to have everything go their way eventually.
