Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hello Welcome to HCM

You have imaginative thinking while doing some work that you are centre of attention and you are being pampered. Such type of thinking occurs continuously.

Such type of complaints can be considered as normal if they occurs occasionally. But if such complaints cause significant dysfunction in workplace and personal life then there is need to consult a doctor. It can be due to obsessive compulsive disorder. Imaginative thinking or magical thinking dominate the mind and remain persistent.

Consult a Psychiatrist if problem persists. Medicines like anti anxiety drugs as Fluoxetine, Fluvoxamine are very useful in such situations.
Behavior therapy by a psychologist will help to decrease the thoughts.

Thanks, hope this helps you
