Taking extreme solace in fictional characters is primarily a coping mechanism used by people who experience stress related to real-life relationships; examples include going through a traumatic break-up, or feelings of hopelessness and failure when it comes to establishing real-life relationships. Some people who partake in this practice identify as "fictosexual," and claim it to be a legitimate sexual orientation. They often try to gain acceptance within the LGBT community, usually to little avail.
