Is it normal to be so attached to people who dont even exist?

we are all fucking crazy but hey its better than being boring

Maybe you should write a book about them?

*long post ahead*

i see tons of imaginary characters in my head, some i interact with. One in particular talks to me alot. I can (and have had) entire conversations with her, sometimes she will start it. She even seems to have her own opinions on things and asks questions. She has also helped me to me more oganized and has cheered me up when i was feeling rather down. she seems to have her own thing going as well, cause ill see her with a book, talking with some of the other characters in my head, or doing something else sometimes, and she has told me of things that she has done or stuff that has went on when i was away (aka. when i am thinking about something else or doing something in real life.) not to mention, she has her own interests and preferences.

i know this whole thing sounds a little crazy, but things have definitely been better with her around. the word "tulpa" comes to mind, but im not sure.

I do that to but I interact with the people in my imagination. I even have an imaginary son. Haha;)

You are a romantic. people build up an idea of someone perfect in there head. it is sad but everyone does it to a certain extent. I fall in love with characters from films sometimes. and i have woken from a dream before and been devastated at the realisation that the girl was not real.

I guess so.
I used to have one scenario like this when I was much younger.

Its because you are alone.Take teraphy its not normal I have been in the same condition

I'm an author (currently writhing a book right now on one of my imaginary stories) and I do the exact same thing. You're gifted. Use your natural talents to get wherever you want to be in life

I'm a writer and these are normal for writers. You're just creative and have a wonderful imagination. You are probably suited for a writer with your creativity. Try writing. It will help and you'll be able to realize how imaginative you are.

You're not crazy, you're creative. Put it in writing - get rich. You know the people are imaginary so you're not crazy. Writers get very involved with their characters.

Amen to that

I have the same thing going on in my head. I have times when I'm absorbed in what's happening in their lives and I don't notice what's going on around me but that dosn't usally become a problem. They keep me from being bored and I don't know what I'd do without them either.

That happens because the real world sucks a lot sometimes and you let your imagination take over.I do it too but no people in the imaginary world.

See a counselor

i do it too, its more common than you think, its just because reality sucks and you`re a creative person like me, the only differnce is you dont interact with these people in your head, and i interact with mine, but its basicly the same thing

I have done it for the last four or five years, as long as it doesn't interupt your life it doesn't harm you to feel out your feelings through the stories in your head.

It's not normal but that is pretty cool to have your own sort of tv show or book in your head... you're just substituting real life with self created ones

I don't think it's normal really, at least not for your emotional and mental well-being. Perhaps you should talk to someone or your doctor about it.
