A type of mental problem?
It gets even weirder I can control it. Like I won't do it in public. Its only when I am alone. I tried telling my best friend but she took as a joke and said eveyone talks to themselves. I neverminded it until now. I rather live in this make believe world than talk to my friends or study for school.
I want to know if this is kind of normal or if its a serious issue.
Answer:
I'm no shrink, but it seems to me that if you are aware of the behavior, and you can in fact control it, it is not a serious problem. It sounds like you use this as a technique to deal with your fantasy life. If you are able to function in the 'real' world. ie; go to school or go to work. No worries. You say that you have friends, therefore you can function in society. Bottom line; as long you can keep your fantasy life separate from the rest of your life, you are healthy.
I wouldn't call it serious -
you have an active imagination which is fine...the problem lies in the fact that you prefer your imagination over the real world, which more indicates self esteem issues & trouble with communication, not a mental condition.
You may want to seek help from a therapist - they can give you tools to help you boost your esteem and get you more conforatble in the "real" world.
