Why I'd be A Terrible Fictional Character

unspeakablehorrorI'd be terrible character to put in a fictional story because:
* I don't think most people would find my life story remotely plausible. Character is unrealistic and breaks suspension of disbelief. I believe this due to spending most of my life hearing 'but no one [insert thing that 100% applies to me]'. Also there were just some weird bizarre coincidences that had an outsize influence on my life.
* Related to the above, I believe that pretty much no one that's not me would find my life relateable. Apparently some people require a character to be relateable to them in order to enjoy reading them. This is also why I do not need to find a character relateable to enjoy reading them.
* I spend a lot of time doing solitary activities. I don't think I experience loneliness the way most people do, so I often find this the easiest way to manage my anxieties and limited social energy. Which means I spend most of my time avoiding interpersonal conflict simply by not having any interpersonal interactions. A terrible narrative choice for a fictional character.
* I literally make plans and then spend most of my time eating, napping, or reading random articles on the internet instead of going through with them.
