anyone ever have imaginary conversations with people in ur mind (not talk out loud, just inside ur head).

Does this have a name??? I know its not ocd, etc... but what is it???

Answer:

its an imagination

---

No, I have not. It's called imagination.

---

Are you talking to me? ;-)

---

Schizophrenia.

But i think the correct term should be hallucination

---

i do all the time. its not freaky.

---

skitsofrenia

---

it can be schitzophrenia or it can just be inventing a world you enjoy more than real life, I used to do it while mowing the yard for hours, then i would go in and write out short stories.

---

yes iam not sure what to call it

---

I have. No you haven't. Yes I have. You're a liar. No I'm not!

---

i do it all the time! but i make them like answer me with how i would have wanted them too. its normall...i hope lol

---

I have and i've always wondered if something was wrong with me. I used to do it all the time when i was alone, playing out how a conversation should go with someone or even an imaginary person who was just there to listen... what a great question!! i'll be watching your question and see if you get any good answers!

One who is so conscious about him/her and has lack of confidence to deal with people, creates an imaginary world inside their mind. it's not freaky its a trick of mind to deal out with boredom and also it's a method of training yourself to deal with the real world. some can say its hallucination but its not hallucination its called "personality under personality". Don't worry for it.

---

It's not freaky unless you're having real conversations with imaginary people...

But seriously I do it occasionally to sort thoughts or to prepare myself for potential conflict in the real conversations I'm about to have with people. I like to think through things and let my brain know how it should handle the situation.

---

Yes. I call it "thoughts" or "daydreaming". I often do this when visualizing the outcome of an upcoming meeting or interview or other conversation that I know will happen in the future.
