I have whole other worlds I pretend are real too lol. Been doing it since I was really young as well. I have deep lore for everything too and I'll even pretend I'm a YouTuber or something discussing recent events in said universe
OH MY GOD LMAO
Literally
EXACTLY the same thing I do. But I don't pretend I'm a youtuber, instead, I like to think that the universe is it's own type of show and that people watch it daily for whatever reason and that people are rooting for certain characters and whatnot, It's like a live stream, and I have certain events go down in the show. I have lore as well for myself alongside the other characters.
But not going to lie, the LARPing YouTuber thing sounds kind of dope now that I'm thinking about it
I think this actually might be the most accurate truecel trait of all time, I literally thought I was just crazy for doing this. It's so amazing because I never have to genuinely interact with society because I've been doing it so long that I'm pretty sure my brain registers my interactions with that world as legitimate interactions.
You also mentioned talking to yourself a lot, I also do that, but honestly the type of pacing I do while in my room depends a lot on my current mood. If I just want to get my daily interaction with the world, I'll often boot up my Xbox, put on a headset, and listen to all different types of music while continuing the lore of that particular world.
However, if I'm really upset over something (like really strongly emotional and angry), I'll drop the music entirely and just start pacing, visualizing my hatred and contempt for others, and maybe making a few contracts with devils (some weird LARPing shit I do, don't question it.)
I will literally go on to talk to myself while making the most strange movements ever. I'm 99% sure people would assume I'm crazy if one of these episodes were somehow recorded and shown. I will pace around my room at differing speeds while eventually thinking EXTREMELY deeply about one thing, then coming to a stop with some weird look on my face as I think about that topic.
I do have a really random question though, do you also have some character/spirit thing from your made up world literally become apart of your mind because you grew that close to them and/or the spirit is somehow a part of you in the story? Like, I mean to the point where that spirit begins to talk to you in the real world too.
Of course, it's not actually the thing, it's just your own mind & thoughts using the character as a medium of sorts. Again, really random question.
