>>3248No I mean I tell it to imaginary friends (that actually exist). So I don't tell them, but it's no difference for my brain. It's just different for them, as the conversation has not happened outside of my reality. But if something makes me think of somebody I usually call them to tell them, even though I haven't seen them in months. But that doesn't happen too often.

>Sometimes I daydream about people asking my opinion on various subjects
This can be a useful technique for writing. I saw an author give a lecture and when asked about any writing techniques he used, he mentioned that he would imagine explaining the concepts discussed to family and friends, like he was sitting at a full table during a holiday dinner and the reactions to what was proposed came very naturally. How would I explain this to my young niece? What would that one crazy uncle's reaction be to such a conversation? How would mom and dad argue over this piece of information? What would my grandfather say in that situation? What comic relief might that one bratty cousin provide? An entire book where the writing prompts for conversation and discussion was imagining bringing up technical topics that don't usually get brought up during a large family dinner.

>>3261I try to avoid doing it with people that I actually know because I don't trust my memory to be able to tell real from imagined apart.
>>3262I've been thinking about writing an interview with myself but it feels excessively narcissistic.

>>3263Maybe interview yourself and then use that as material for dialogue between fictional characters then? No one would have to know.
