Am I crazy? I have conversations with myself?

Question

I think I have gone totally mental.

I have full conversations with myself, while I imagine, people who I know are there talking to me.

So, I imagine a social gathering with people I know, and I talk to them and answer there questions, then I keep quite, Imagine that they are asking me another particular question, then I answer that question.

Do I have a multiple personality disorder?

Answer 1

nah man, your good. i do that all the time. i especially like to re-do social situations that i totally screwed myself on. like if i were talking to a girl and told a really really lame joke, id play that scene over differently by myself later on. your not crazy and/or mental. promise

Answer 2

You're not crazy because you stated that you "imagine" the other people there. If you were crazy, you would believe they are really there. You know the difference, so you're fine. Now if they start talking back, or you start to see them, head for the shrinks office. And by the responses here I'd say a lot of people do that, so it's fairly common I guess, that should be a relief to you.

Answer 3

Sounds like good practice.

Answer 4

That is somewhat different. Have you seen a counselor ?

You should really get help. All people talk to themselves inwardly but not everyone talks to themselves in conversation with invisible people..

That is a bit different. If you are going to talk to yourself out loud verbaly, then tell yourself positive affirmations and let your ears hear some good profitable things..That does make some sense...

At the site below see this book that has your own name throughout and is a great tool to build your self image and confidrnce. It is widly used throughout the sports world...I recommend it to everyone...Get one and begin talking positive things to yourself. Change your thoughts and you will change your future....

Answer 5

You should break that habit.  It's a sign of psychosis.

Answer 6

HAHA! I do that too!

Not all the time, but sometimes I just like to pretend like I

'm taking to other people (in outward conversations too)

And like the first poster, I do those "re-do" conversations. So does my husband.

My diagnosis: Normal

Now, if those people were giving you advice and telling you to do things you normally wouldn't do, thats when you should worry. But if you just having conversation thats fine. (take me on the couch the other day watching a movie for example. I was "talking" outloud about the movie, imagining I was watching it and talking about it with a friend.)

Answer 7

I do that too!!

I do it as if thats the way I want it to be and its like my brain is saying if I do this maybe it'll happen
