Does anyone else pretend to be someone else ?

You should try to stop doing that, otherwise you might end up like Norman Bates in 'Psycho'.

i cant stop posting on this one... sorry, because as i read it again and again there's more i want to say. when you pretend to be yourself as a celebrity you are really talking to your HIGHER-SELF. what you are doing is a form of prayer - which is wonderful. do not feel self-conscious about what you are doing. just make sure you have a balance with it - meaning make sure you can also function in the physical world so that your subconscious will have the opportunity to influence your Being to make decisions that will eventually help you manifest what it is that you truly want - which is to be rich and famous. and really, i think that is how rich and famous people become rich and famous. they set their mind to what it is that they want to do, they imagine themselves as that person, become that person, and they eventually get to where they want to be - they also call it the Visualization technique. your not being able to stop is prob becuase of the Endorphins that your stimulate while you are in your own world. endorphins are in your brain that make you happy. i cannot stress how important it is to come away from terms that have come from the world of Psychology and Psychiatry becuase once again, people in that field are usually afraid of not being able to understand the world around them. therefore in their eyes, everything has to have a label that they've created - which is ridiculous. i believe that as you pretend you will start to find your true purpose in life and you will be able to steer yourself away from being a zombie like the rest of the world. CONGRATULATIONS! you are waking up from your spiritual slumber. post back.

oh and about the people being in the room as you pretend... it could be that your pretending is so powerful that you are projecting images onto the metaphysical plane that you can somehow feel. maybe. when you get a chance start reading about psychic energy and astral traveling, because you might begin to feel more comfortable in your body. and as far as OCD/Depression - you need to stop labeling yourself with those names. those are names that psychologists use to define a world they don't understand, primarily becuase they didnt create it. free yourself from other people's judgement, and find a way to turn your pretending into a positive force for people who will welcome your energy. i hope you read this and post back.

I think that you should be comfortable in your space. If pretending helps you to be comfortable, then pretend. my suggestion tho is that instead of being someone who is already famous, pretend to be yourself being famous. this is kind of like the law of attration. if you do it enough you will attract all the positive energy you put out. Have you ever seen that movie/documentary THE SECRET? i think they suggest it in there that when you want something in life you cant seem to get, fill your every thought with it, endulge in it, be in that moment, and as you move about the earth and in life, you'll start to see your vision come to reality. now.... i'm not saying that you'll become a backstreet boy, but it will help you to feel better about yourself. keep posting.... your story is interesting, and i would like to hear more.
