I grew up an only child and I started pretending celebrities I like are hanging out with me. I talk to them and I make them answer back. It grew into a bad habit and now when I'm listening to my headphones I pretend that they are listening with me on a big stereo. How do I stop this and is it normal?
It's normal at least I know I've done it before. I think it comes from being isolated and lonely, as well as imaginative. And you most likely are compensating for a lack of interest on your family and friends side. Or maybe you don't feel like you are special enough and that somehow being friends with celebrities makes you feel more successful.
How do you stop? Try to find better friends and also value yourself more. Try to be the type of person that is successful and likeable. And I mean success as you see it, not someone else's idea.
Tell me if I'm completely off-base though.
You are right. I recently have been making a lot of changes and new friends is one of them. I'm in school again and I'm trying to find my own way. I'm a very talented singer, but I feel that everyone wake wanted that for me. I don't want that life. I grew up spoiled and I'm thankful for ll of that, but I need to make my own way.
Is this the same person who asked the daydreaming question? Well anyways, I do this too. Sometimes I just pretend they are in the room and listening to what I say and think im really funny and awesome lol. That sounds so lame. But more often than not, im not talking directly to the celebrity, I am talking to a friend or something and they are just listening...haha
I do the same thing but with fictional characters instead of celebrities.
Oooorr... maybe someone does this just because. Imagination is fun and meant to be played with.
