Acting/pretending to be in a film when alone?!


Question: Acting/pretending to be in a film when alone?
I'm a 17 yr old girl, and ever since i can remember, every situation i'm in i see as a chance to pretend i'm in some soap or film.
For example, when i'm in the car, i'll pretend i'm someone who is on some journey with a boyfriend or friend, or maybe on my way to somewhere.
Or if i'm in bed at night, i'll act/pretend to be in a hospital bed as my character has been injured somehow.
When I listen to music i'll pretend i'm both a singer and actress, and i'll make 'movie videos' though no one is even filming...and it's just in my room.
If I cry over something in real life, i'll see it as a chance to act/pretend as though i'm uspet over being cheated on by my 'characters' boyrfriend.
Is this normal? I've always wondered because I have always done it, right now as I type this, I pretend as though someone is filimg me and I'm my character searching for information for the boyfriend to be cheating... I don't have a boyfriend in real life.
I was also diagnoed with bipolar disorder when I was 15ish/16. I seek help, I don't mention any of this. I feel fine, I'm pretty stable atm...possibly a little down but not majorly. This isn't bothering me, I am just curious if anyone else would do it.
PLEASE no nasty comments, thanks

Same here. And I thought I was crazy. XD
Just take care that you forget reality over the fantasies. That's the point where it gets unhealthy.



I think you are pretty normal :) healthy imagination!!!



Actually, I do almost the same thing. Especially after a good movie, I usually end up pretending that I was in the movie and that my life is just a continuation. Also, I tend to pretend that I'm famous and that I'm being interviewed. I don't do this all of the time, though, and even though my boyfriend is fully aware of my "fantasy land", I still make an effort to live in the moment and enjoy the things that are happening in the real world. I would never consider the things that I do to be a personality disorder, because it's just my amazing creative imagination at work! Don't let it freak you out, and just keep your "soap life" balanced with your real one, because sometimes real life will really amaze you!
