I like to act out my thoughts and say them out loud

I developed this habit as a teenager. I'm 24 now but over the years it's become so bad that people notice and my friend had to tell me about it. I like to entertain myself by imagining real life scenarios and acting them out and talking out loud too. I know it has a lot to with my depression so by imagining real life scenarios that make me feel happy it's makes me feel better(otherwise I wouldn't do it). I can create a false sense of happiness by doing this all the time. It's so habitual that I wander off in my thoughts when I'm around people and they notice it. It's so hard to break this habit because it makes me feel happy but it effects my social life at the same time. I'm just happier in my thoughts than in real life, sadly.

    Now that you are 24 one would expect you to have some self control. People just get uncomfortable around those who have no self control. I think it's about time you started acting like the chronological adult you are.

      You're right! I want to control it but like I said it's so hard. It's like a smoker has the urge to smoke and he will do it around his friends even if they don't like it.

        As a long time smoker, I had the self control to smoke outside or away from anyone who didn't like it. Of course it was hard, but that is what being an adult is all about.
        It's time you got in control of yourself, no matter how hard it is.

    When you say act out your thoughts... what kind of things do you do? I mean from how you are putting it at the moment I think I know a word to describe why you do what you do... Imagination. There is nothing wrong with that. Some people have no imagination but if you can create a place or scenario that makes you happy then why shouldn't you?

    If you are that worried about what other people think about it you shouldn't stop doing it... just try to keep the scenario in your head that way everyone is happy. Just make sure that you don't lock yourself in there and ignore everyone else :)
