Why are there so many people....?

Why are there so many people who are trying desperately to become something else? Vampires, werewolves, fairies, mermaids, etc. What's wrong with the way you were born?? Is life so terrible that you need to create some fantasy persona just to cope? Now, I'm not by any means a fundamentalist christian (nor am I christian or any other religion) but I think it speaks VOLUMES to the kind of person you are if you can't cope with just being yourself rather than trying to become something that doesn't exist. Why would you do that to yourself?

Update:

Let me put this out there, I'm not talking about people who are transgender, I'm talking about people trying to become mythical beings.

    I agree, it is getting really stupid. In order to "become a vampire" my friends friend sharpened her teeth so they were fangs (no I am not kidding) this whole cult of people who are desperately trying to be these things are creating an unhealthy society. This obsession is not helpful to anyone! And these people seem to have totally missed the part that in almost every novel/tv show/movie these creatures are either bloodthirsty, evil beasts or completely hate their existence. So why the hell would you want to be one even if they were real!

    I mean it's okay people just wanting to be somthing else but all this twilight (ect) nonsense is getting out of hand.

    Because As Human beings we all want to be something were not, we want to change ourselves. Like a blond wants to be brunette or a curly haired person wants to be straight haired. so on and do forth.

    besides we want to be magical and have kool powers...

    so you get to be the one that judges everyone else based on...what now? the problem with the world is people trying to make everyone else be what they want them to be. BE democratic, BE muslim, BE successful, DO this, DO that...just leave them alone if they aren't hurting you. people always trying to start ****. grow up?
