Real Life Is Mean

Fact.

When people start to turn against a single person, things change for the worse for that person, or life generally becomes unbearable to the point where someone has to lock themselves away in a safe place to hide from the world. And what's better to turn to when Real Life Is Mean than fiction? Many people in fiction who get sucked into the world of our fiction which would be their real life change roles from whatever they were before they ran away from society to either the Hyperfan, Loner (but only if they return to society), or Psycho.
