When i'm alone i pretend i'm not and act out situations

75% Normal
7 Comments

When I'm on my own, I pretend that there is another person in the room with me, but it's never a conscious decision to imagine them. Then, I act out random situations, like what I would do if that specific (always made-up) person asked me a certain question or did something. Sometimes I think about what I would say to a doctor or my mother or something too. I would always answer the questions with actions, but I can never remember afterwards if I spoke out loud, whispered, or answered in my head. I only realized recently that I do this, but I know I've done it for a good few years now. I do it a lot when I'm in front of a mirror too. I'm getting worried about my mental health.

    I do that a lot, I imagine I am with a friend or a crush and we're making jokes. It makes me worry about my mental health too but reading it on here that other people do it too makes me feel normal or maybe we're all crazy but at least I am not the only one.

    I was going to vote no, but everyone in the comment section said they do it and I do it too, so I'd have to say yes. It's normal.

    I do it too but usually whisper or mouth rather than acting anything out

    I do this too. Not as much as I used to, but I still do it.

    It's normal to imagining and re-imagining things you should have said or should have done throughout they day.
