Oh gosh, I know EXACTLY how you feel.
Fiction is such an escape, sometimes you forget about the real world.

And/or it makes it hard to remember that the real world operates on a different set of principles...

I couldn't have said it better myself. I could have said it differently, as would better befit my current position, by I lack the need.

I know how you feel, and I know how painful it can get watching others while your just sitting there alone, waiting for that fantasy world to come to you... it hurts, it really does, and even when you think you've managed to escape those feelings they have a nasty way of sneaking back up on you as hard as they can...
But thankfully, if you just keep baring with the pain, and moving on with life-
- Something good is bound to happen, and you'll meet just the right people, or person, that will help. c:

Anyway, I hope you can find a good group of people who you can relate to at least half of the time. I feel like that's alot easier to do in college.

I can relate to that.
However, don't go around waiting to be asked on a date, do it yourself if there's a guy you like.
I find it difficult to understand people, and I have my whole life felt out of place amongst people and would make up stories.
But I have managed to find someone with whom I truly get along with. And maybe some day I'll find a girlfriend like that too.
If you're happy with living your life with imaginary people, good for you. But if it makes you unhappy and if you are lonely, try to do something to it.

As the others, I can relate as well, except on the love part, given that I was never that interested to begin with.
At the end of te day you just have to learn to make a compromise between what you are, and what people expect from you, sure it sounds kinda mean, but as a social creature humans must do that to better integrate.

I think a lot of us can relate to this.
Also, great job conveying the story in pictures.

I wish I could share how I felt as well as you did here. It's how I feel almost daily and I'm never able to let out these feelings because I just... Don't know how.
Amazing art work.

I know that feeling. I've been through that throughout my life and I can't tell you different, it does suck. However, there is a light at the end of the tunnel . . . Plus, unlike me, who really doesn't get to post on here as much as I would like, you have a big fan base. People love and appreciate the fantastic fictions you have shared with us and no one else can give a gift anything like your wondrous fantasies. Thank you for being a fiction-writer/artist.

Reading this it was kind of funny because this story just sounds so much like my own life it's almost unbelievable. I really never thought there was anyone else who obsessed over fictional worlds as much as I did. Err..... I really hope you don't mind me saying this.
