I suppose some people like fictional people better because they are something "outside this world" that we wish was real. It's probably why some people idolize movie actors: because people like them better in the movies than in real life because they're thinking wishfully. Like Harry Potter, Superman, Spiderman, etc. I do remember having an imaginary friend until I was 12 years old. He would always sit by me on the way home from school when no one else would sit by me. Hopefully he was fictional! lol That would be really weird of someone's imaginary friend turned out to be real lol. That was a random bit of information...of course, it is the "Random Discussion" forum...lol
