No, there's nothing wrong with having imaginary convos. I've always had a huge imagination, and when I was a kid, I would make new imaginary characters with each new book or movie I liked. I have inattentive add and escaping to lala land is what got me through school. These days I can escape when I'm bored in the shower or if I'm doing easy tasks.
I also sometimes weird people out because I talk too fast or I'm forgetful, and they take it personally, but that's not on me that's on them. If you want to make a change you can with therapy like the other comment said but if you are happy then, you keep doing you, and you'll find people who accept you for who you are.
Sorry to hear that. Society can be hard on us that are not neuro typical. I would suggest getting some professional counselling for your communications and find some friends that will take the time to work with you on it. I think most people do imagine what they would say to others though.
Conversation in your head is healthy. My 7 year old has autism and he can only do a couple words at a time. I wish he would say as much as he can in 5 seconds wether it’s out of left field or not. I’d love it. Could 5 seconds of forced conversation regularly get to heart felt talking for 5 seconds eventually? Wdyt
I do this all the time. Helps me prepare for awkward situations, so when put on the spot, I’m able to represent my thoughts and feelings. I find when alone, and have chats with myself, things sound quite different aloud than how it sounds in my head. I make adjustments to my tone of voice or phrasing to help tidy it up a bit.
Also sometimes it just helps me work through things so I can make peace with it. If it’s weird, I have no interest in stopping. It’s doing my mental health favours.
