Roleplaying for fun with other people who roleplay is fine, but it's unhealthy to do it all the time. If other people don't realise that you're roleplaying, then you're not roleplaying, you're lying about who you are. If other people DO know that you're roleplaying, then you're limiting your potential relationships (romantic and otherwise) to other furries who are ok with not actually knowing you. I don't think there are very many people who are ok with being friends with people whose personalities they know nothing about.
You can't have healthy relationships (again, romantic or otherwise) if you're constantly pretending to be somebody you aren't. If you feel compelled to do this, talk to a therapist. Don't push everybody who knows you away for the sake of a character who isn't even real.
Is it normal I live in roleplay?
