Is it normal to imagine that my boyfriend is with me?

12 Comments

Whenever I'm home, and have nothing really to do, I like to imagine that my boyfriend is with me. (or if I don't have a boyfriend, it would be someone I have a "crush" on.) Like, I will actually make up conversations, and sometimes arguments. Although, mind you, I don't/won't actually have these "conversations" out loud, but mainly in my head, what I mean by that, is that whenever he speaks, I would just think that in my head, but sometimes when I'll reply, I'll just mouth it, but say it in my head.
Though, I will not do this in public, or with anyone around. Only if I'm alone in my living room, or my room upstairs.
Also, like I said above, sometimes the conversations are arguments, and for whatever reason, I would make up pretty bad arguments, even when those arguments would most likely not even happen.
Is this normal?

    hahahahaha i do that when i can't sleep or when i'm bored. i thought i was the only one! my most recent "imaginary argument" was lastnight. my boyfriend kept tossing and turning so it kept me up for a while so i got bored and started thinking. i made up a fight where his ex girlfriend was in his bar when i walked in and we got into a huge argument and i ended up fighting her and leaving and he came after me and we had this incredible make-up moment. im so weird. lol

    yep

    my boyfriend's half the country away, and we both sometimes hallucinate each other... it's pretty weird

    also sometimes when i'm in a social situation he's not in i imagine his input to conversation. i'm lonely.

    I do that too. But if your not enjoying what your imagining, change topic and imagine a different conversation or a conversation with a different person.

    I'm glad I'm not the only person who does this! When I'm by myself I always have conversations with people (not just boyfriends) in my head. Sometimes I even argue with them and make up a dramatic issue to argue about.

    I've done this before, but not with an imaginary boyfriend, just an imaginary friend.

    I have to admit, i do this to. I thought i was the only one! It must be normal.

    I agree, its a way to vent. It could also mean your just feeling abit lonely at that time, excited (feel you need to tell someone something) etc.

    Dont worry.

    I do the same thing occasionally--yeah, I think it's pretty normal. Imagining conversations, particularly arguments, might even be a way for you to let out certain fears or insecurities you have about your boyfriend/crush. It just means you're imaginative.
