Imaginary world... Am i crazy?

Question

Hey ladies I’ve never told anyone before but I really need some input. I’ve been looking this up on reddit and other discussion sites but I really want current answers for myself... 
So I’m 24 now and ever since I was about 15 I’ve created these characters in my head with real lives, partners, careers, families etc of about 15 people who are all connected and know each other. Whenever I have down time, doing chores, laying around I focus on this story and act it out. And it’s not just a little “story” it’s an entire life of people. Sometimes I can even feel their emotions if something dramatic or tragic happens in that world. 
To make this clear: the main “character” is Ashley (created when I was 15) and over the years she’s had multiple boyfriends, went to school, and is now famous. Along with her other “characters” her best friends, siblings, etc. and whenever I’m alone I play out scenes. 
This isn’t really a daily thing, some days I “act” more than others but the story progresses with my real life except my “characters” are now famous. And yes I can tell the difference between my imaginary and real world. I’m pretty successful, have friends and normal relationships, and I can snap in and out of it but when I’m alone I can sit and “act” for 2 hours.

Answer

I don't think you're crazy. I think we are taught to stop using our imaginations when we get older because it will seem "abnormal." Ehhhh, fuck that. Look at authors...they're doing exactly what you are but putting it into words. Try writing it out!!! Sounds cool to me 🤷🏼‍♀️

Answer

I think its awesome to have so much imagination. As long as it doesn’t interfere with your real life and you don’t lose control of reality I really don’t see a problem with it. Some people get lost in books, other in video games. Theirs not difference for me.

Answer

I think that is cool , but instead of just being in your head , why don’t you write it down and idk later on make a book or do theater and you have a great story. Just my humble opinion. I love to read books more when I was younger and didn’t have kids lol . I get so into the books , I always kept thinking about it. I just think instead of ppl thinking you need help , I think you should write down.

Answer

I don’t have an imaginary world but my mind will make up crazy ass stories. 
Like the other day my neighbor running around her house screaming stop and I saw someone running behind her. She stopped screaming when they got to the back of their house and I realized they were just playing. But then I thought for a split second “what if she didn’t stop screaming because they were playing but she stopped screaming because he murdered her?” 
And my brain played a full on scene of an alternate reality where they weren’t just playing and she was murdered. And the cops coming to pick up the body and talking to me to ask me if I saw anything and having to explain that I saw the guy chasing her and the cops questioning how I could’ve just thought they were just playing. I then had to describe the guy and I couldn’t remember many details on what he looked like and they were getting pissed off because I couldn’t think of anything on the spot because I was so shocked about the whole scenario. 
And then I snapped back to reality and was like “why think like that?” And then I went on with my day

Answer

Girl! That sounds amazing, and you should maybe write a book or a story about Ashley and her life

Answer

Did you have some type of trauma in your early life?

Answer

Totally not saying this rude ..sounds like you need some help... Maybe get therapy

Answer

To me it almost sounds like some sort of coping mechanism. You said it happens when you’re alone, so maybe you do it when you’re alone to make it feel like there are people around? Or perhaps it’s an imaginative escape from your day-to-day reality?￼ Some people play video games to escape reality, and you have a “play” in your mind. I agree with the person who said write it down. As long as you are not using these characters to carry out tasks that you normally would not do, I think you’re OK. ￼￼

Answer

I think this is so cool! You have really creative daydreaming. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it as long as you know what’s real and you’re enjoying your own life as well.

Answer

At first I thought “ this is weird” ... but tbh it’s kinda cool 😂. You have such an imagination!!! Like other have said as long as it doesn’t interfere with your real life 🤷🏻‍♀️ who cares.. you should definitely try writing it. I’m a bit intrigued about this story now 🙊🙈
