I think eventually it’s best to go to a therapist and explain it in order to see where your needs are not being met or where that is coming from. Perhaps changes can be made with the help of a therapist. The only way I saw it as being an issue was that I felt at times like I wasn’t present enough or that I used to drift off to that world at times.
Thank you for sharing your experience. I only spend time with this imaginary person whenever i´m alone, so i don´t think it´s much or a problem, yet, haha...I´m very happy when i´m immersed in my imaginary world (there´s cows and a cafe and lots of hills and lakes there) but whenever i have to snap out of it, i feel sad returning back to my normal life.
Thanks for this!
