extreme mental imagery/ living in a daydream.

this is going to sound really... crazy but sometimes i feel as if i'm living in a daydream which, i 'act out' i.e. get involved in. it's like a six year old playing pretend in that i get involved in this daydream but i know its not real. i sometimes hold 'coversations' with people who aren't there except in this fantasy world. but not in a way that they respond or talk but i will mainly be answering, just like a child 'pretending'. when i was a few years younger i felt it was something i would grow out of but i haven't. thing is i never experienced this as a child i was far too mature but watching my six year old sister play with her friends reminds me of my own actions. it's like when you're ten and you stand infront of the mirror and sing into the hairbrush and imagine you're being watched by adoring fans.i'm always the centre of attention but i can't walk down he street without imagining a situation. i'm worried because my aunt has schitzophrenian and i would like to know that i'm not the same. whatever the situation im sure i am not normal to be doing this at my age.

In your dreamworld you get the satisfaction that you do not get in your real world. To avoid that your dreamworld replaces your real world, try to live more in reality and get the little satisfaction you can get there although it will never be as fantastic as in the daydreams. Talk to a psychiatrist, if you cannot manage on your own.
