Things seem simpler in fiction. Social interaction can come down to just saying the one right phrase at the one right time. We have missions or adventures which, though difficult, are easier to deal with than day-to-day life. There are rarely more than three people involved in a love polygon. If there are more than three, there are lots, and it's played for laughs. Everyone knows how everyone feels, and love blossoms in the blink of an eye. We overcome the odds. Complications iron out. Villains lose, heroes win. There is never a long and arduous cleanup operation after the victory.
