I wish I liked fiction. I've lost interest

I used to love fiction, especially science fiction. I’d get completely lost in it. I used to love movies. It was good escapism.

Now I can’t really stand fiction, It’s all just seems fake.

I don’t know whether to put this down to getting older or schizophrenia though.

Neal Asher did some good science fiction books about a schizophrenic robot, a war drone. I love a good fantasy fiction story. To me they can seem more real than my boring life, but Ive been told I have an overactive imagination.

You might try to read autobiographical novels based on the author’s own life.

I have trouble reading “pure” fiction, but I enjoy personally written novels.

Maybe your tastes have just changed.

I feel like in most mediums 99% of works are bad or flawed in some regard. I’m very fussy with what I like and I always find it disconcerting when other people just seem to like everything and don’t have a critical eye.
