Lily, being attracted to imaginary worlds is ok. You have vivid imagination, probably. Don't forget that all arts, even anime, encode the knowledge about our world, even if in metaphoric form. You need to see beyond the form. The 15 year old imaginary girl is smarter and more talented then you.
Well, many fictional characters are like that. They are achieving a lot and with great ease to highlight, to make them remarkable, to make them attractive and to make them larger than life. And to help us reveal our own interests through watching them.
You did. You've discovered that being needed by others and being successful is important to you. Then do something about it. Become like her. Use this character as an inspiration. But you don't have to compare your results with the results of 15 year old fictional character. In fact you don't have to compare yourself with anyone else other than better you.
We all have our own lives and it doesn't matter where we start. What matters is what we can achieve in the end.
So use anime to know yourself better and then use this knowledge in the real life. You are on the right track.
