Making up conversations with other people

93% Normal
10 Comments

Sometimes, when I'm bored, I'll make up conversations I have with other people. You could term there "fantasies" I suppose, though they are rarely of a sexual nature. People such as my boyfriend, friends, teachers, etc. I've noted that these are people that I'm embarrassed around and feel intimidated by. Even by characters in books. I'll come up with interesting and socially dynamic situations and can't help but imagining them over and over again. I find these more comforting than reality, and when I find myself forming my own replies, I tend to feel shy and put myself down because I know I could never say that in reality. Is this normal?

    I actually do this too. We should all form an imaginary support group and talk to each other there.

    Well I do it, but I couldn't be described as normal, so this isn't very helpful. I often imagine how a conversation that I'm planning could go or one I have had could have gone. I rarely imagine a completely abstract one or one with someone who doesn't exist.

    I do this too. But is usually with movie characters, it's okay I think it's just a way to spend time.

    I do this, sometimes because I want to rehearse some foreign language, or when I want to explain something to someone who knows less then me, I answer questions about my life and work, and I quarrel with people I dislike and make them look bad.

    I do this so whenever I do encounter that person I will be sure I know what to say and wont stumble. If that makes sense. Also its not just people I barley know it can be people I know very well I just like thinking before I speak.

    Lol. This is very common.
    I find myself doing that before I make a phone call to a business/college/future job.

    OMG I do exactly that, in every way. It was freaky to read. Also you helped me realize that the people involved are all people I'm intimidated by, so thanks.

    I also find that I do these only when I am in a good mood, like when I have had a good day it's easier for me to make up awesome conversations. If I have had a bad day I find it hard to get myself into the fantasy mindset.
