Is it weird that i talk to "people" while in the room by myself?

Okay, so, I have a weird obsession. It started way back in elementary school, after I watched Harry Potter movies with my dad, I used to go to my room and pretend I was Hermionie. Okay, I know thats normal for a kid. But the obsession continued as I got older. I moved from pretending I was in Harry Potter to pretending my friends are in the room with me. I "talk" to them, like they can respond to me.
It's always people that I know personally. I don't hear voices. I don't see them or feel them. Its just an obsession that I still have today, at 21 years old. I like to pretend wherever I'm alone in private, my room, my shower, etc. Is it normal? I don't think I'm crazy or anything, its just something I've been insecure about for a while now.

    Very normal. I'm 22 and I do it still. Like u its always friends or family or generally people I am really close to. I envision them in the room even tho I know there not and have a conversation I don't respond to them out loud I usually make up a response in my head and I respond out loud. There generally very short conversations usually if I'm upset or nervous I practice conversations like this. It's very normal to me. And I'm happy I'm not insane! Altho I knew I wasn't :)

    An ant bit me on my frenulum and it hurt like hell. I pulled it off and rolled it in a ball and washed it down the sink.

    I do this but I don't imagine people IN my room. I'll always run a scene in my head. I like to make them dramatic.

    When I'm alone I speak english. I do this to improve my pronunciation and yes I pretend that I'm having a conversation.

    Sometimes I run conversations through my head, things I'd like to say to a person if this happened or maybe a conversation I expect to have. I don't think it's healthy. It sounds a bit dissociative.
