Is it normal to fantasize about people you know?

Yep.Totally normal

Yes. Fantasizing about people you know is common, and a private thought doesn’t mean you want to act on it or that anything is wrong with you.

Your mind grabs familiar faces because you already know something about them—how they look, talk, or make you feel. Fantasies can be playful, surprising, or completely out of step with what you’d actually want in real life.

People vary in how often they fantasize and whether they find it fun or awkward. The useful line is between a thought and an action: you can keep a fantasy private while still respecting someone’s boundaries and any commitments you’ve made.
