Is it normal to pretend to be someone else all the time?

Not a day goes by that I don't fall into an imaginary world of wonder and excitement. I just get bored and sink into an imaginary conversation. Sometimes I'll pretend to be a character from a movie or show and I'll just talk and pretend as if I'm talking to another character from the movie and I'll make their whole world up in my head and just go about my day. Sometimes I just make up my own characters and make a whole world from that and act out how I think they'd be. Or I'll just be in my room and suddenly feel like acting out a death scene and cry and pretend I'm dying. I'm so weird. It gets so annoying, but without these pretend worlds I'm left bored to death. I've been doing this for as long as I can remember. I'll be 19 soon and it's just like... shouldn't I have grown out of it or something? It's just, my life is so boring and redundant that living a pretend one is all I can do. ;_; I need advice on what to do. I have friends and go out, but it's just not enough.

    Your imagination is amazing! Write these day dreams down, you could end up being a writer!

    I do it too. I love to make up stories about my favorite characters and I'm always building on to them. It's a coping mechanism for me, too.
