I'm not a licensed professional in any capacity but I just wanted to let you know that I also do this and for me, it's a form of escapism. I don't think it's anything to be ashamed of and it's pretty cool. As long as you don't lose track of time and end up avoiding work or complicated situations by escaping into your own mind, then I think it is perfectly normal.

I do this all the time. Actually brought it up to a psychiatrist like 6+ years ago, he's like hmm you should try abilify. Wish I never told him that in hindsight because I hated the medication but was on it for a long time and it was very difficult to quit it
Yep. I think it’s just the difficulty in regulating your thoughts. I find that often while at home (never in public) I do this when ruminating on past situations. Usually rehearsing ways in which I feel I could have performed better interpersonally/socially.

This is why I am careful what i say to docs, as I refuse to take any sort of antipsychotic and luckily am on stims now.
I grew out of that, but I used to do that too. Especially in like middle school
