Is it normal that i role play and talk to myself?

I like fan fiction a lot. I tend to make up stories in my head based off of my favorite characters, and sometimes when I'm bored or have nothing to do, I'll make up stories and play them in my head. Sometimes when I'm alone, like in my room or something, I'll start talking to myself. I'll be thinking about one of those stories from my head and I'll suddenly start role playing it. Sometimes I'll get really embarrased because I'll be talking to myself or something and I'll just hear someone walking outside my door. It's usually my brother going into his room... yeah, he probably thinks I'm really weird. I also have an "alter-ego". Like, my fan fiction self. (A Mary-Sue...) I'm so obsessed... This is so weird, right?
Can I do something about this? :/

      Thanks! I'm SO glad I'm not the only one who does this. And oh my gosh, YES I DO! <3 Haha, some of my stories are pretty terrible though, lol. I'm working on some better ones now. :)

        Oh awesome, I'm going to have to check out your stories. I like Harry potter, teen titans, and young Justice :) lol mines are all kinda on hiatus until I get some free time to start them again, because I wanna add about three stories or so and I have two up already.

    Ok guys , I have been doing this for like 12 years as of now. But, I just want to know whether it has some sort of bad effect. Like on our ability to do chores attentively, concentrate on a particular subject and the like . Anyone, thoughts on that ?

    I am the exact same way. I have this fanfic world in my head where all of my favorite fictional characters co-exist alongside each other and interact with each other (crossover) and I have an alter-ego who interacts with them. I also role-play it by talking to myself whenever I'm alone.

  • No don't be so worried I do it all the time too! I even make up some of my own clever lines and I end up giggling to myself. The only difference is I do porn.

    I do this all the time! Like everyday. I usually have two or three story lines going on at the same time. I really love making universes with all the different characters I make, and connecting them to my favourite movies/tv shows/ books. Its really fun. I'm just glad that there are people who do this too. So I'm not totally weird, haha. I usually play music while doing it though. I've been pondering if anyone did things like this for awhile too. So I'm glad this post was made! ❤❤

    I thought I was the only one!!! Usually I make up characters that are from a show. For example, I’ll pretend I’m Michael Scott’s daughter or Jim Halpert’s niece but my most recent The Office oc is Mandy Schrute, Ahhhhh I’m so weird but I’m glad I’m not the only one.

    OMFG IVE BEEN DOING THIS SINCE I WAS A LITTLE KID AND THOUGHT NOBODY ELSE COULD POSSIBLY DO THIS ASWELL, holy crap I’m actually so happy there are other people out there who are just like me, I decided to google it to see if I was the only one or not but then I found this!! Sometimes when I’m just doing my own thing or when I’m in bed I just end up talking to myself and making characters in my head and role playing all of them (Usually based off of stuff I’ve watched recently or off of my favourite shows) And my mum always walks in and is like “who are you talking to?” And its so embarrassing hahahah but its great to see how many others do the same thing! Guess I’m not so crazy after all :) I know all the these comments are from years ago but I’d love to talk to people about this!

    I Thought i was the ONLY person in the freaking world that RolePlayed by myself xD Before it just started as some weird thing i did when i was bored (and alone) and now it's become a habit of mine x3 I have this fantasy world where i've made up (and played as. Both guys and girls) my own characters and all the characters i've ever seen i let them co-exist in my fantasy world (MANY cross-overs are involved =3) I've even made my own, you could say "alter-ego" She's sorta like a Mary Sue...it's....complicated xP I've got The Doctor (Doctor Who) in it, Anime Characters, ext xD i think my dad's caught me a couple of times o___o He's never mentioned it but i think he thinks i'm a little on the "cucu" side. The only difference i have from you guys is that i always do it with some sort of music playing xD

    I am so glad I found this. I just finished an EPIC role playing session (by myself, in bed, 11.30pm) where I played a male character (I'm female) from a fanfiction I'm currently writing. His mum was involved... he ended up crying... I'm a really incredible actress when I'm all alone, crying on cue - anyway I've been doing this almost every night ever since I was little and I just went - hang on. I'm 23. Why the hell am I still doing this. Oh god I've got some kind of psychiatric disorder - TO GOOGLE!! Thanks for giving me hope that I'm not crazy...
