This is hard to explain, but a lot of the time I will act as if people are there with me. I'm not saying I see people or hear voices, and I don't do it in front of other people and I know they aren't really there. They tend to be people such as favourite actors etc, and I'll talk to them (not out loud) about stuff. It's nice to do so, and has probably helped my fanfiction a bit.



When I was a teenager, I would worry that I wasn't perceived by others as myself, and I would get these thoughts that they would think I was a character from a television programme or someone who had been in the news, even though I knew this was stupid and that they saw me as myself (they being friends, other people not in my family etc).

Anyone else do this?

I often imagine having a prominent, intelligent historical figure with me (Newton, Confucius, Bach, Aristotle, etc.). Whenever I do something I explain to them how and why it is done this way. I also imagine the questions they might ask.

This causes me to always think about whatever it is I'm doing and be critical. I'll switch up the person so that I get new types of questions so I can see things from a fresh perspective. It's fun :D

They aren't "imaginary friends", they are more a tool for me, but I try to imagine them as close to the personality and knowledge base I associate them with.

I like to picture Mr. T sometimes, saying "I pity th' foo"

as far as I'm concerned, everyone is imaginary, you, me, everyone

I don't want to admit this, but at least this is online and I am not the only one. Yes, I have imagined that there were people with me and I was talking to them. I do it a few times a week, if not everyday. I do have a few friends, but I do fear I am the most socially awkward person out of them all.

But yeah I've done it and I am glad I am not the only one.

Most of the time I am walking around, thinking of talking to people I admire and on some occasions, celebrities. I imgagined celebrities when I was younger, but not as much anymore... Now it's mostly just people I've seen in my life that I wished i talked to ( but didn't ). I often imgagined myself having discussions with people on my favorite subjects, but I don't know many people interested in that.

Another quirky thing I did before, but not as much anymore, was when I was younger I'd listen to music and imagine things. Like I'd daydream about time traveling and other weird things. I did this between the ages of 9 and 15.

I do it all the time. Sometimes I imagine I'm in an interview with someone and everytime I do something I would explain it to "them". And then just about everyday I have imaginary conversations with my best (imaginary) friend, Mickey. As odd as it sounds, she helps me gain perspectives on many things.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who does something remotely like this.

In my head the other personalities do more responding to things with me having any interaction between switching them out for different sounds.

When I'm explaining things to no one even in my head there's not anyone there. It kind of dead ends a lot without there being any personality to react to what I say.

[Zaria]

I have tuns of people in my head. I don't interact with them, though. It's more like a soap opera that goes on and on and has been going on ever since I was a little kid. I think that if I put it in writing I could call myself a writer, but now I'm just the mad woman with a soap opera in her head.

It's mighty interesting, you should experience it. I'm used to it, it has always been there, but I'm pretty sure it would drive others crazy within a few minutes...

[wanderingfeet]

I find myself explaining things out loud as if there is a person in the room. I wonder what they would think of certain things I say, etc. For some reason it helps me organize my thoughts. :) I don't think it's that unusual. I just have a crazy imagination.

I like to bounce ideas off of greg house..

This is so amazing. We are never really alone!

I like to imagine, while I listen to the music. Recently I was listening to Sin Fang Bous - Lies (quite magical song) and came up with a music video idea. This is basically what I see, when I hear that song:
The forest. Man (the singer) is lying on the ground with his eyes open. As the song progress, the rain starts pouring, he closes his eyes and sings. As he sings, everything around him starts to grow and blossom: flowers, etc. When the chorus comes, the rain suddenly stops and bright sunlight shine upon him. He opens his eyes and starts to sing : "lies, lies, lies, lies" ...as he sings it ,the small colourful birds fly out of his mouth (as the representation of his vision-lies).
