About a decade ago I was in a situation where I used to have “Season 1-5” of an alternative life that I live in my mind. It was a cooping mechanism so to speak. And a way to keep my sanity.
Many time on my commute to work I will turn the mirror towards myself and will have these odd little conversations.
The strangest thing about it is sometimes I feel like someone else is speaking though my because in those moments I seemingly tend to string together words and phrases i’ve never known.
Like I said, I used to have seasons of imaginary interactions in my mind.
I guess sometimes I still do. I conjure a situation in my mind and i’ll be so drawn to the thought whatever i’m thinking I actually mutter it softly in the flesh. So yes, I have imaginary conversations with myself. Although I don’t think it’s as unhealthy as some people say it is.
You ever research the type of preparation a world leader does before making a State of the Union speech? They mind frame and method is nearly sociopathic.
I think the social norm of “crazy” is far from what people think it is.
I talk to imaginary people.
I talk to myself.
I talk to myself from the past with words from my present.
I do but not necessarily conversations. For as long as I remember I tend to make up songs in my head. The Movie M.A.S.H started it for me with the Song ‘Suicide is Painless’ Soon after I first heard that I would find myself altering versus and wording to related to how I have been feeling. I find myself doing the same with other tunes as well. I have never shared this with any of my therapists, friends, or family and it has been over 45 years. Well I am listening to the music much more in my head these days and I need to make a decision.

Sometimes, Yes.

Don’t be weirded out by it. You’re normal.
Oh yeah big time, not just a two person conversation but 3 or 4
