"I have no real friends, I'm distance from my family because all I want is them[the fictional people]. I want to listen and watch them 24/7."
Sacrificing real life relationships and substituting them for fictional characters you are obsessed with is not normal - in my experience of the world anyway.
I think it's great that people can become emotionally invested in the stories and characters others invent; much of our greatest art relies upon this ability. But there is a degree of emotional investment beyond which it starts to become unhealthy and indicative of mental health problems.
Is it normal I'm obsessed with fictional people?

So I suppose we'll have to agree to disagree.
