Fans relate to Sam more because of his personality
More than a few "Supernatural" viewers seem to relate to Sam for one primary reason — his nature as a somewhat reserved and awkward "good guy" as opposed to Dean's morally flexible rogue persona. In the "Supernatural" subreddit, u/ImmediateRub9 (https://www.reddit.com/r/Supernatural/comments/vwybie/i_relate_to_sam_in_so_many_ways/) started a discussion on Sam versus Dean with a post titled "I relate to Sam in so many ways." They started things off by writing, "... he's been through so much but he's still kind and hopeful, I really relate to him," adding that while he may come across as aloof, he actually struggles to maintain self-control to rein in his impulses. U/sapphicsato (https://www.reddit.com/r/Supernatural/comments/vwybie/comment/iftdkpp/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) concurred, adding that they've always liked Sam more than Dean and that, "He is the most relatable character in the show for me." U/lionne6 (https://www.reddit.com/r/Supernatural/comments/vwybie/comment/iftcn4c/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) replied that they relate to Sam because of his independence and wrote, "I also relate to him in other ways, he's a smart guy who loves to read and doesn't just connect with any random person." Meanwhile, u/sheprevails7 (https://www.reddit.com/r/Supernatural/comments/vwybie/comment/ifvjo76/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) pays perhaps the ultimate compliment to Sam's relatable nature by commenting, "I have always loved Sam so much. I actually named my son Samuel after him!"
So, how does Jared Padalecki himself feel about the character he's played for so long? The actor revealed to Variety (https://variety.com/2020/tv/features/supernatural-jensen-ackles-jared-padalecki-walker-boys-1234771957/) shortly after "Supernatural" ended, "I'm going to take Sam Winchester and the lessons I learned from 'Supernatural,' proudly, into every job I do -– and probably outside of jobs, just as what kind of human being I want to be."
