>tfw you have your own world in your head due to extended isolation
Not quite sure how to feel about this.

>mock conversations with yourself

I do this but I imagine its with people I barely knew in high school. I always imagine scenarios where I'm impressing them with my wit and humour

>tfw you have your own world in your head due to extended isolation

how do I do this it sounds cool

Glad it's not only me then. Are we considered crazy for doing shit like this or what?

It's relatable because it happened to you

>>38430092
Just debate simple things with yourself for a while, like "do I want an apple or a banana", and you'll eventually be talking to yourself like someone else is also stuck in your head. Lucid dreaming helps with the personal world because it feels so real.

I would fix this by pretending I had a friend or gf with me. I'd try my best to bring her to life in my mind, but it never really worked

>>38429979
>tfw you're so lonely you read over conversations you had with people on r9k threads
It's a simple life.

>>38430193
oh me too. I'll even screen shot interactions that I thought went well. One day I'll work my way up to making online friends and instant messaging

I do this too but I dont feel like it's something bad. It really makes me feel better talking to someone even if it's just me. I always imagine how I talk with some other person and try to imagine what he would have said. wew what a life

>>38430336
I've been a loner almost all my life but I rarely feel lonely per se, guess I'm just good company ahaa...

I did this when I was younger.
Invented entire scenarios inside my head when doing mundane things like going to school listening to the prof.

Not sure how to feel about it either

>>38430390
this might sound pretentious but I often feel like me and tesla would have been good friends, If I could meet anyone in history it would be him

damn it anon, I do this too. I imagine myself playing some cool music using various instruments and I constantly imagine friends listening and being impressed.
I imagine this very frequently when I listen to music.

Sometimes I would like to shake that feeling off, but many times I can't. I end up feeling this shit anyway.

>tfw a girl messages you out of nowhere
>brighten up, thinking this is your Misaki moment like in Welcome to the NHK
>you talk for a while and she loses interest in you
>never talks to you again
>feel even worse than before, can't eat, sleep, fap, or anything
Th..thanks

>>38429979
more like all the time

>>38430521
Why? What do you think she lose interest?

>>38429979
Talking to yourself is good if youre lonely imo. It keeps me happy sometimes.
>tfw you are so lonely you've made up a gf
I'm going out with her today.

Sometimes I have debates on various topics in my own head, and it feels better to say shit out loud instead of just thinking. It's not really out loud but more like a whisper to avoid others hearing it.

>tfw my parents might hear an asshole talk to himself thinking he is fucking insane and not say anything because they are too creeped out.

Am I ready for the psych ward, friends?

>>38430052
I do that, too. It's called maladaptive daydreaming. It's a mental illness.

I've been doing this since my early teens and I should've shut that shit down then. Maybe if I didn't have a make believe world in my head I would have made more of an effort to be socialable. The people I imagine talking to, I knew from school 10 years ago. They all have jobs, friends, girlfriends, life experiences from traveling. Whereas I'm still in the town I was born in imagining social situations with them. Jesus, if I saw any of them in real life I'd turn and walk away quickly. How would I explain pressing the pause button on my life for the last 10 years.

>>38430558
She lost interest because I'm a boring person. I can't carry a conversation and I have no hobbies outside of the internet

>>38429979
>tfw don't even talk to yourself
I read people hear having really vvid daydreams or ongoing ones but I feel like I lack all the imagination and just read posts thinking about how I would reply but rarely ever posting (probably only made ~post on 4chan over the past few years)

I do pretend I'm an actor or director and self insert into interviews like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6lLYpx05Gs

I do this too, I think it's because I have a pretty high capacity for empathy, doubled with having higher than average IQ and being slightly insane I end up having these massive conversations with different versions of myself and sometimes multiple versions of me jump in and propose counter arguments and function as a tool to reach optimal solutions.

Imagine it like the Galactic Senate in Star Wars or any open forum senate of any kind, one person has the podium but everyone else can chip in at different times to share their plights, worries and ideas.

Best part is it's not like it's some kind of bipolar disorder or multiple personality disorder, I always represent myself and my thoughts. I'm a functioning cyborg irl too, go out fairly often, have a lot of friends because I figured out how the socializing minigame works, tall, fit and take care of myself so people enjoy my company. Yet in my free(and alone) time I can spend up to an hour of just discussing why WW2 played out the way it did and which strategic choices were right/wrong or why Japanese style combat bipedal mechs would be practical in really obscure circumstances when aliens invade in extreme detail while juggling an internal conversation with up to a dozen versions of myself at the same time.

tl;dr I am the senate

>>38430336
Also talk to myself too.
Anyone else /talk to themselves/?

Talking to yourself is literally a sign of intelligence because saying something and hearing something are both entirely different from thinking it.

Watch some Jordan Peterson my dudes

>tfw trying to convince myself that being alone is okay is not working anymore

At this stage I can't form relationships with others, I can't even have conversations that aren't brief and distant. It's all fucked, friendos.

Yup I do that too. Even in let's plays where there's more than one person or just people sitting down reviewing movies.

>>38430336
>I'll even screen shot interactions that I thought went well.
That's very cute anon
>One day I'll work my way up to making online friends and instant messaging
I hope to get there as well some day

Just posting on /r9k/ is enough for me. Being any closer to someone will make me afraid enough to isolate myself anyway.

I have conversations with myself all the time. One is just me and the other is an idealized version of myself, usually more rational and composed. The guys an asshole but at least he knows how to cheer me up

The whole point of Misaki's character was to point out that there is no Misaki and how ridiculous the whole idea of magical girls are anyway.

At least I'm not the only person who does this.

I literally talk to my cats.

>Tfw imagine I'm explaining something to someone and voice my responses out loud.
I seem to do this automatically when I'm doing something and it seems to make the day go much quicker. It's nothing new though because I've always talked to myself.

>>38430341
I feel like this for as long as I can remember. You're right, it is a curse and it makes me feel incompatible with reality. Just wish I could come to terms with my own existence.

i used to; now it's been long enough that all the memories have faded. i can remember mechanically what happened, but that's different than actually remembering the sensations and feelings of it.

>>38429979
I never had a single firend in my entire life, never hang out with anyone, never casually started talking to someone, not even while being a preschool. This is pure insanity and it only gets worse. When I happen to converse with anyone, it feels like I'm being raised out of a thick, fog covered swamp just to be thrown back again right after I shut my mouth. If I weren't living with my family, I'm sure I would completely lose my mind.

I feel loneliest when I have amusing or thought provoking observations pop in to my head and no one to share it with.
