Escapism, abandonment. [emo] (9)

Why is it that I feel more alive when I'm reading a book or playing video games than when I'm at a party or with my friends?

I write stories about everything. Recently, I wrote a story about a man who falls in love with a forest spirit. It's a slash story.
Unfortunately, I come from a rather... Fundamental christian family, and they were none too pleased. I told them that I would keep on writing the story until it was finished. They told me to leave.

Now, none of my old friends will talk to me (they think I'm gay.)

Why do I CARE so much about made up stories? At my age (18) that's just not normal, right? Like, I JUST GAVE UP MY FAMILY FOR SOMETHING I MADE UP IN MY HEAD!!

I feel like a freak. I've thrown away everything I've ever known, and why? Because I don't feel alive unless I'm in a story.
