Ok so, more than anything I just want to know if anybody else has this ~problem. I've been doing it for a while now. It started off as me pretending to be a super famous movie star by the name of Ivy. She's beautiful, perfect, flawless etc. Everything I want to be. And everybody loves her. I often set up situations in which she/I interact with other famous people I admire. I mean I have seriously put some thought behind this shit lol.

Then I don't know if i just got tired of her or what but I switched characters. Everything except the name and being famous. This time I'm not so famous... instead i'm a bad ass indie rockstar, who kicks it with other rockstars.

... The whole thing is crazy and embarassing tbh. It's gotten to the the point were I don't even want to go out much or stay at friends house or anywhere really where I can't be alone. Most people don't like being by themselves all the time, but I look forward to it.

OH YEAH and I also like to pretend while listening to music and pretending that they're my songs that I wrote lol. shaaame

    I do the exact same thing...and enjoy alone time more than time with real people lol. Not sure that's healthy, but hey. I'm working on it ;-)

    im a bit conflicted on this one. i guess its normal if you are a youngin but not all that normal if you are an adult. maybe you should spend that time doing things you enjoy and trying to make something of yourself so you can enjoy it for real instead of just in your head because it could turn into a very bad obsession.

      Yes, try writing your own songs. You might be good in the real world too :)

    I do it too sometimes, it lets you take a break from being yourself and since that can be a pain it is a good thing. :) but i wouldnt tell anyone you know personally that could end badly >.>
