Is it normal to have fake conversations with yourself?

78% Normal
14 Comments

I've been doing this for years: i talk to myself. I usually do this in my room in front of my mirror. I'll play out fake conversations while looking in the mirror. I'll add body gestures and facial expressions like i'm really talking to someone. I also laugh if i said a joke, or if supposedly the person that i'm talking to said something funny. I also do this in the bathroom, in front of the mirror or while taking a shower. I usually do it when i'm alone. Is this normal? I really enjoy it, because i'm a very self-concious and shy person, so i'm able to make up fake conversations that i'll probably never have the courage to have with anyone.

    Completely normal I do it when I'm alone sitting on the toilet or something like that even do it as if I'm arguing with someone haha. So don't worry it's normal.

    yeah i do that all the time with anything thats been on my mind for a while that would take some serious guts to say to someone's face. i make up a whole monologue and say it outloud in front of the mirror like i'm actually talking to the person. there's only been a few occasions when i actually performed the monologue to said person. it's just a way for me to get out everything i'm feeling towards that person, even things i didn't know i felt.
