Is this habit of mine normal?

Is it normal that I pace around the house acting out imaginary conversations, it can go on for hours at a time. While I'm imagining the conversations I'll sometimes start mouthing the imagined script or even saying it aloud, complete with facial expressions and hand gesturing to match Sometimes the conversations will like get stuck on a loop where I'm just repeatedly going over the same conversation all day, with some slight adjustments here and there. I'll also sometimes listen to music and just walk around the house, repeatedly entering and exiting rooms.
And it really sucks because I can't not do it, I can try to just stop and sit down but that will only last a while before I start doing it again. It's hard to even watch movies because I have to pause them so I can pace around then come back and continue watching.
Is this all normal stuff that other people do or am I strange?

    I pace around the house a lot. Usually, when I'm talking to family members or when I'm imagining scenarios. Sometimes, I just do this randomly. Pacing is a side effect of ADHD.

    Maybe not enough friends to talk to or you lonely or don't get out enough?

    Sounds like OCD m8. I've got intrusive thought OCD myself, medication/ therapy can help a lot I'd get yourself checked otherwise if you add up the time spent doing these things you're probably wasting literally months of your life.

    I do this too. I think it’s abnormal but I can’t even control it, and I haven’t been diagnosed with OCD.

    It's not normal, but it kinda sounds like fun.

    Not an expert on such things, but it sounds like OCD.

    You sound like you have OCD. Just a question. Do you actually hear the voices of imaginary conversations with your ears or just inner voice in your head?
