I imagine conversations all the time, with people both real and fictional. I guess it's because what I crave in life is closeness to other human beings, but there are only a few people I know with whom I feel I can share my full inner self. I have such a high standard for social interaction that when I fail to experience it well enough in the real world, I create my own.

Yeah, I do this a lot.. But you know, there's a quote from Blackadder that pops into my head when it happens..
Lord Melchett: Ah Blackadder, talking to yourself, I see.
Blackadder: Yes, it's the only way I can be sure of intelligent conversation.

I dont know if this is the case for any of you, too, but I think it's funny :)

I do this too! All the time and when I catch myself doing it I sometimes wonder if I'm crazy!

[vintagelovin8]

wow. i've been waiting for someone to bring this up?! I definitely do it- sometimes i get so lost in it that i will actually be making the faces that go with the words im saying in my "conversation" in my head and i've gotten some odd looks for that, but i don't even realize i'm doing it. and sometimes i carry the positive convos over into my actual perception of the real relationship when in reality, the convo never even happened. and i'm a *sigh* type 3 by the way...hate being a type three.

I do this all the time as well...

I make up different scenarios in my head, make up conversations, imagine scenery, think of what music will go along with what scene, etc. Sometimes I get so into it, that I actually feel the emotions that I felt if that scenario was to happen again. If it was an imaginary scenario in which I have not yet experienced, I will still feel the emotions that are associated if that scenario were to happen. It gets physical sometimes, tears would actually flow from my face, I'd laugh, take a step forward/back, silly things.

I thought I was going crazy, but it actually passes by time quite well.

I talk to msyelf alot, if that's what you mean.
I'm ashamed to say it's become pretty natural...I'll remind myself of a debate or a deep conversation I've had, and I'll start kinda redoing my parts in a kind of monologue, because I'm not happy with what I said. And if I've got a debate coming up or I expect a conflict to come up, I'll think about it so much I'll start verbally rehearsing what I'm going to say without entirely fully realsiing I'm talking to myself. And then at some point I'll usually fully realise I'm talking to myself, and stop because I'm like "you're talking to yourself o.O"

I really wanna stop doing it if I'm honest. I'm kinda scared it indicates I lead too lonely of an existance D;

I'm pretty much the same. Well, I'm glad I'm not the only one ^_^

I definitely do this. I can't make myself at all, but if I'm thinking about someone- particularly someone I rarely talk to, I play out what our conversations would be like. When I was fifteen and obsessed with this band, I used to sit in class and imagine them walking through the door and asking to take me away and what we would say. Kind of funny. Now I do it more with people I actually know and set up weird scenarios; a recent one involving this guy I know living in my backyard while he was on the run from the cops and I had to give him food. My imagination is very similar to that of a five year old.

I'm type 4 and I do it all the time. It's funny how many times I think the conversation is real. As in I'll think I already told someone something and it turned out I only had the conversation with them in my head. Or I'll be talking with someone and a bit of the conversation will remind me of an earlier conversation I was having with myself and I'll want to mention it but I'll have to disguise the part about talking to myself about it. I'll say "oh I was just saying the other day that..." but not say who I was talking to.

I've been doing this all my life! :D I can entertain myself for hours that way. But sometimes it makes things confusing when I don't remember what I've been saying in real life and in my imagination...and sometimes also, what other people has said to me...haha

It has happened that I created imaginary relationships with people that I barely know, just because I'm afraid that they would let me down if I got to know what they are really like... I have actually been thinking about this a lot lately and I've decided that I'm really going to try to give more people a chance in real life too...
