Is it normal i want to roleplay as a hobby?

I've recently been thinking how fun it would be to find somebody to roleplay with all the time. This wouldn't be a sexual thing, it would simply involve assuming the role of a character or multiple characters when going through ordinary life.

For example, when going out for coffee, I could become Adelmo, a Cuban who has travelled the world. He's 42, extremely picky about his coffee, acts like he doesn't enjoy dancing but really its because his father was a talented dancer and he was too intimidated to try and match his daddy's talent... He's also insecure about the size of his penis.

Or when buying a car, I could become Norman, a socially awkward 25 year old who has a habit of touching his brow from when he used to push his glasses up all the time. He's since had laser eye surgery which means there are no spectacles to shunt upwards, but he still does it, more so when he's nervous and in company. He's Australian, loves action movies, is very clever academically but not so much emotionally, and is a little racist.

etc.

Is it normal I want to go out with a friend or friends and act like totally different people? As a regular hobby? Let me know :)

  • In that case, I recommend Final Fantasy VIII. Excellent Role Playing Game.

    • I've played video game RPGs before, that's not the same (but I did love FF7).

      What I'm talking about is a kind of real-world based LARPing I guess... Without all the swords and magic and elves. Kind of like method acting but with friends and whilst out doing stuff :)

      • i dont see anything wrong with it, what i do think is that try not to over do it so people dont think you have multi personality disorder or something

  • Sounds pretty fun. I regret that I have no one to improv with.

  • My name is Oscar. Everyday I go to my local park at lunch. I take cucumber sandwiches, a bottle of Gin and a handful of Warhammer figurines to throw at the children. Sometimes I take a dump while I'm on the swings, and if anyone complains I dropkick them in the vagina.

    It would be nice to get away from all that and do a bit of role-play.

  • I wonder if I could talk my boyfriend into taking me on a roleplay date. He does a fantastic Irish accent, hehe.

  • I roleplay all the time, but I prefer the term "pretending".

  • Hail, citizen! My name is Captain Vaduum, representative of the Emperor himself.

    No, fear not. His Imperial Majesty (Live forever, O Emperor!) brings you glad tidings.

    He bids me to tell you that you are indeed normal and that you should keep faith in the Emperor just as the Emperor keeps his faith in you. The kingdom smiles upon your activities and can only hope to encourage you in any further intellectual inquiries. Good-bye.

    • But on a serious note, it's good to have imagination. It's not something I do actively, but it's healthy! (And normal)

  • This sounds like fun! I'd totally try it, but I'd probably end up giggling most of the time.

    • Oh yeah I think I'd be laughing a lot of the time too, but that's the point - it would just be for fun :)

  • That does sound fun but unfortunately if you were to try that in real life you would get weird looks.
