I pretend i'm talking to a therapist

76% Normal
23 Comments

When I'm alone, I whisper-talk to myself while picturing a therapist being in front of me. It feels good to get my thoughts and feelings out and it saves me the money of going to a real therapist. Haha. I picture being in the room I was in when I used to go to therapy and the therapist is always really professional and attractive. Am I lonely, stressed out, normal... What am I?

    Nice. Seems like it's on the same trail as writing a journal.

    I do this too. I've been doing it more frequently, I think, because I'm getting a new one and by practicing and thinking up scenarios it might help me to be able to confide in her better as well as be more relaxed.

    Lmfao, its totally normal. Its a way better solution than keeping your feelings in until you want to explode. Imaginary therapy is probably pretty good for you.

    Unlike YOU I NEVER asked for your opinion about me so what right do you have to give one? & Just because someone write a paragraph it does not make them angry or insecure. What does stating an opinion have anything to do with being insecure... I didn't know you know me that well to label me over a comment I made towards you that have no information about me... it doesn't take much time to write that much, it takes less then 10 seconds!

      You were and are being downright rude, which is not welcome. I say you're insecure because I said something easily dismissable and unimportant. When you make a comment, you need expect feedback of the other person's opinions as well.

    If you think that it's normal then why bring it on here? You posted to get people's opinion & just because some people don't agree with you doesn't mean they are rude or angry towards you, I have no reason to be angry towards you. I don't even know you but from what you have posted you asked for an opinion & I'm giving you my opinion. Excuse me if I don't think it's normal but for you to post your personal issues in public you just have to deal with the good, the bad, the people who agree, the people who doesn't agree, the people who think it's normal & people who don't think it's normal.

    & yes I think you are crazy for doing such things - I don't find it normal but that is MY opinion... you posted in public for an opinion so here it is! & your reason to think I'm crazy & have insecurity issues is because??? I don't agree with you... good one!

      I wasn't being rude. I simply said the same thing that you did, so why does it make what I said different? The reason I think you have insecurity or anger issues is that you projected aggression toward me with that paragraph. You gave me your opinion, so I'm giving you mine. As I said before, I wanted to see how many other people do it and yes, to get their opinions.

    Therapist are psychopaths in real life. I knew a therapist whose secret life was the stripclubs for 33 years. He goes there looking for sex and love. Wat a psycho

      That's one therapist. By that logic I can say, "I knew a hairdresser that was a serial killer. All hairdressers are serial killers."

    You're calling me crazy??? I'm not the one talking to myself with an invisible therapist friend... I thought invisible friends disappears after childhood... YOU HAVE SERIOUS MENTAL ISSUES & NEED TO SEEK PROFESSION HELP!

    If you're coming to make a post about yourself DEAL with the comments like a mature adult! Talk to a REAL therapist about your invisible friend & lets she what the real therapist will tell you. I bet he'll end up putting you in a mental institution because you think it's normal!

    IF YOU THINK IT'S NORMAL THEN WHY COME HERE & ASK IF IT'S NORMAL OR NOT??? FOR ATTENTION??? iS your invisible friend not giving you enough attention?

    There are actual adults out there locked up from society because they are mentally ill & you seem to fit that description considering you have a problem & talk to your invisible friend about it & pretend he's there next to you helping you.

    It's one thing to be able to help yourself & another to think you have an invisible friend helping you!!!

    GO SEEK SOME HELP!!!!

      I said the same thing you did, and I didn't lash out with a huge paragraph. People have different ways of dealing with things, and it can be healthy to create tranquil scenarios in the mind. It's very normal. I was wondering how many other people did it. It seems to me that you have some anger or insecurity issues, and you should look at what you're saying. Don't act like you know me, because you can see from how I speak that I'm a well-rounded individual. You're wrong. Sometimes people are wrong, it's okay.

      Well, 16 people think this is normal and 6 people don't... So I'm thinking it's fairly normal.
