Does anyone else do this (details inside).

I have conversations with people I know aren’t there. I don’t see people, but sometimes I am embarrassed to do certain things because this presence is with me.

I have conversations out loud, my family have caught me a lot talking “to myself”. But I always imagine someone I know personally is there.

They are just random conversations because I’m bored and lonely.

I’ll rant to them and answer made up responses.

Even at work, I’m mentally always “training” somebody. And sometimes my coworkers ask if I’m talking to myself and I always make a big joke of it but sometimes I don’t realize I am making facial expressions or moving my mouth (with no sound).

I have been doing this as long as I can remember and I remember my parents yelling at me when I was young and they were trying to sleep but I was talking.

I get paranoid doing things sometimes that could be perceived as embarrassing (like blowing my nose) even though I am all alone.
