Talking to nobody?

Question

Ok so I've never done this before, I've never talked about this to my family or friends, but I need some advice before I can continue forward,in deciding if this is just normal or something I may need help with.

Ok so for as long as I can remember I've been having conversations with people sorta in my head. Like I'll imagine that they are right in front of me and I'll ask them how their day is going , or I'll bring up old memories of stuff we used to do, or I'll ask them questions about stuff i already know the answer to. but I'm completely alone just talking to nobody. I'm honestly really nervous I've always known that this was weird but it really hit me today. 

Also I just turned 20 as of dec 13th if that helps any

Answer

it sounds like you are having a conversation with yourself and asking and getting the answers sometimes its not a bad thing but you might seek the opinion of a therapist its harmless but it would give you a chance to speak with  someone who really might have the answers to theses questions that you ask i would look into it and go just to see if your needing to help

Answer

You trying too hard. If you can't have a normal conversation, just try asking them questions for a start. Asking a question won't use up much braveness right? If you can't let yourself goes to others than let others come to you. By asking them question will give them a impression that you are a easy to approach person, so maybe they will ask you back if they have difficulty too and that's where it's all start.

Answer

If you were 8 years old with an imaginary friend it wouldnt matter.  A 20 year old that relies on imaginary friends is lonely and maybe afraid to try and make new ones.

Go to the gym and take some classes.

Look for book clubs.

Look for volunteer work where you all share an interest and can go to coffee.

Look for Meet Up online for groups who share the same interest in activities.  No matter what your hobby or intetest is you'll probably find a group doing it.  I love drum circles and thats one of the things I do for fun.

Take a class in something.

Get out and make some real friends.
