Is It Normal that I often sit around thinking about things to do, but don't end up doing anything?
I have a really vivid imagination, so I'll think of going out with friends and imagine entire conversations in complete detail, or even seeing totally new places and trying new things; the thought alone is consuming and takes effort, so I usually don't do go out with anyone or see the new places.
Sometimes the "magic" of my thoughts really satisfies me and I end up thinking, "Gee, that was great," when really it took me all of two minutes lazing around to dream it up.
I guess I also end up sad because real life doesn't seem as satisfying in the face of my imagination, which honestly just fuels me to be more of a recluse.
Really, I end up unsatisfied anyway.
IIN?

I do this , but not to the extreme you described. Usually I just have conversations in my head with people, imagine what they are doing or write notes that get put away in a box. Once I've said it in my head, I usually no longer feel the need to express my feelings.
But imagining a day of hanging out with your friends? That is kind of depressing... they probably miss you.
