I pretend i have a boyfriend

This has been going on since I can remember so from around the age of 4. pretend I have a boyfriend, I pretend to kiss him, sometimes even have sex with him and it is mainly celebrity figures! I don't actually have any diagnosed problems however I suffered childhood trauma! I try to stop but when I'm alone I can see this person entering my mind and comforting me! It gets worse at night I literally lie in bed and have conversations which develop into drama and I even cry sometimes if we have an argument but I just cannot stop! Is this normal? And does anyone have any suggestions on how I stop? I have not talked to anyone about it and I do not consider myself as lonely as I have a wide group of friends and I'm very social. I also live in a house of 7.

    I pretend to live on a boat in the Caribbean with my younger wife. I really live in an attic somewhere (I don't know where if it's not in the Caribbean) and my bath is the Caribbean Sea, where I play with my wubber ducky, who I call my wife.

    I think you have an active imagination and would be a terrific writer. Maybe write a story about a relationship and it will go away, as you use up all that energy

      That is such a good idea I used to be quite into writing and I never thought about writing about things like this

      Thanks for the observation! Do you think I have a mental disorder such as schizophrenia?

    I pretend I'm married and it still doesn't stop all the guys from hitting on me just the decent ones so it lets me know when they say they don't care if I'm married that they are a dirtbag that I shouldn't give a second thought.

    girl i do the exact same thing. i imagine just having somebody there to talk to with me, make me laugh, i've pretty much convinced myself that i sleep next to somebody. i think it is normal, it just comforts me in ways no one else can

    You sound a bit like my cousin, an issue with this is that when you are to compare your fantasy to the real life world you find people to be flawed and nowhere near as incredible as you "know" they can be.
