well, this is kinda embarrassing .. is it normal that a 19 year old girl imagines some characters and act as if they were actually there ..i mean i know that i'm only making them up but i enjoy doing this.. like holding conversations ..something like the games kids play when they r all alone .. i think it stated out this way ..i used to do that as a kid and it continued ...it scares me ..its not that i cant stop it , i think i can but id like to know ... is it some kind of mental illness? ..do i need help ? have u ever done this before?
thanks for your help

This is a very common thing actually. We have all had imaginary friends and beyond that, how many times do we talk to ourselves or imagine talking to a loved one or a person we want to talk to for the first time?!
The only thing I think you might have a small issue with is perhaps interacting with other real people. Are you shy or lack confidence? Have you had problems with friends or personal relationships in the past that are not fully resolved? These character might be a substitute for your anxieties or lack of confidence. If that's the case you can work on that without any real problems. Email me if you want further advice on that.
The only time I think you really need to worry about these sorts of things are if the characters ever try to dictate to you to do something you don't like or don't want to do. Then it can be more into multiple personality disorders and I would advise seeking proper help.
But aside from that, have fun with it and as other have suggested maybe channel it into a form of writing or acting.
Good luck.

Are you Gemini? Well, to be honest, u are not crazy. you do not need help You just have great imagination. I suggest u start writting novels, write down the conversations!!! Of course it is a habit that begun during you childhood but now that you are grown up, why dont u use it for your own benefit? Become a writer!!!

here's my 2 cents cause I'm far from a professional. the bible says we r 2 take every thought captive. r u doing that? we r 2 have control and discipline in our thought life. do u have it? imagination is a good thing in that the creator of charlie brown probably had to do the same thing 2 a certain extent but he was productive with this. r u productive? the bible also says, when i was a child my speech, my feeling and thinking were those of a child; now that i am an adult, i have no more use for childish ways.

No. Its fine. I just think that becuase your older, it might hurt you in the future... Are you single? Live with family? Were you hurt bad? Im sure this is your way of having a friend that dosent care. LIke a dog or stuffed animal, Its a friend that doesnt judge you care what your wearing, stuff like that. Maybe you want to bring it up with a therpist for doctor, just to tell them that. Im sure its fine, but just to be sure. Its your way of letting out emotions, like a little kid does with a " friend" or stuffed animal. Take care,
Kind regards,
Kristina

This is not an illness. And you do not need help. Many people do this. Try to tap your imagination and visualization into more concrete forms like writing or art or theater.

I think you are fine! Are you a writer? I think that writing stories with your characters would be a really healthy avenue for you. It just sounds like you have a wonderful imagination - which just about every successful author has! :)

Well i wouldnt try to ask for pshychiatric help just yet.
It seems that you are lonely and need friendships at least just eeing with some1. Try getting friends and englufing urself with them.
if this does not work then yeah try a pshychaiatrist.
Normally 19 year old ppl dnt do that. No offence.

Well it sounds quite harmless and normal.
Many people do this, in their minds to consider conversations.
A healthy activity, I would stay well away from shrinks though, they make a living telling people they're not "normal" well is it "normal" to be a shrink ?
No, it is normal to be happy !
So, be happy and enjoy your conversations !
