Re: Spreading fear of narrative keeping you away from other people: I hope not! I mean, I realize I am one of your RL friends, but seriously.;)
Funnily, I find it soothing to read about the lives of people I don't know, and my lack of genuine contact with them makes me very magnanimous about their eccentricities. For example: It'd annoy the crap out of me that one of my flist never likes the same Springsteen songs I do if I actually had to interact with her; since I don't, I can just shake my head, laugh it off and say: "Oh, YOU. And you hate Coldplay, too? Trendy!"
