...that is your conscience, different shades of your conscience. We all have that, we all debate issues and matters in our minds...

Yes dear, it's perfectly normal. My father has conversations with my mother in his head all the time (she passed on some years ago), and he is in no way, shape or form schizophrenic. A psychiatrist would probably tell you to be concerned if you heard voices telling you to do things, and that you felt irresistibly tempted to do them, though. In a situation other than this, I wouldn't worry.

It depends on how real the conversations seem. If you are perfectly aware that you are imagining the other person, that's normal. You are just practicing for a real encounter. If it really sounds like the other person is actually talking to you, that might be schizophrenia.

Yes it is. If you use your internal conversations to see where a real conversation might lead, it's normal, healthy, and a smart thing to do. If you start having conversations with imaginary people, then you should start to worry.

I think you are having these conversations as a way to try to figure out how one of these hypothetical conversations would play out if you were to really say the things you think inside of your head...
I do it too...

No. You are probably schizophrenic and need to seek help. They have good medications these days that can fully control this condition.

This is quite normal for someone your age, just don't keep doing it so much when you're older.
