Is this healthy or unhealthy for me??

So I got a question, I don't know if this is like daydreaming or anything close to it, but in my head on repeat I make like conversations in my head with my favorite characters from games or anything I have watched or read and try to make them the most accurate to the personality I think they would act in that scenario and maybe a little out of character or but most of the times I just make characters I really like, react to my daily life just as if they were in a reaction video but I also make myself the narrator. I can't never actually stop with these scenarios unless I am actually like doing some hard tests or something that is hard for me and I really really need to think. I think I started using it as a coping mechanism because I am alone most of the times and I don't really have friends who talk to me all the time. But could maybe someone explain to me what is this? Or how to maybe control it since like I don't wanna do it but I still do it even tho I am around someone and it's annoying even tho it's all in my head and I never say out loud what currently the characters are saying in my head. I am so lost on what to do😭😭 (also I don't know if I posted this into the right group so if it's not in the right group please correct me)

I can't say if it's healthy or not, but I honestly relate to it. I don't know if I'm exactly the same as you, but I often imagine myself being friends with characters I really like. Often, I daydream that I'm in their world but sometimes they can be in mine. I imagine how they might react to things I'm doing, or their reaction if they are watching a movie with me. Yes, I think it is a way to fill a lonely void. I have a hard time connecting with people, at least these days, and I friends, or any meaningful interaction is in short supply apart from two very good friends who aren't even on this continent...so I can talk to them every day but can't be with them.

Ok, so that turned into a bit of a tangent, but I do more or less understand what you are talking about. I also understand about not always wanting it to happen.

So, I guess my point is, you're not alone.

@TexasDude what you described that happens to you happens to me as well but I didn't go in much detail in the post! I am happy that it doesn't happen just to me🥳

@Alexandertw I'm glad my post helped in any way.
i would say it might be d.i.d but that is from trauma and it seems you are doing this willingly. i think it might be daydreaming.
