Do you have imaginary friends?

Post Reply New Topic

I had an imaginary friend when I was 8, but I can't remember anything about him. I was inspired by Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends. I also think of imaginary celebrities; does that count?

I have quite a few, both girls and boys roughly the same age as me or a few years older, that I invented myself, and a lot of characters from star wars, as my imaginary friends. I never had imaginary friends as a little kid, but onliy since about the age of 13 or 14.

I still have, from time to time, an imaginary friend named Chaser but he's an imaginary boyfriend.

I have had one since I was 10, he's called Thomas Greenwich and he's just... the best.
I also have another version of me alter egoy type thing in my head.

I once had a dream where I was underwater and then this beautiful godess hugged me for a long time.

Ever since then I'll imagine her rocking me back-and-forth and humming. She calms my nerves and helps me sleep at night...

I honestly tried when I was younger. Couldn't get past the fact that it didn't exist.

I had an imaginary friend when I was young named Brick. He was just a brick with little white legs, and he would just follow me around everywhere in my mind.
Also a vast collection of toy dinosaurs (I had a massive obsession with dinosaurs and anything paeleantological and prehistoric), but these weren't really imaginary as they did physically exist but they all had imaginary minds and personalities. I've still got them too but they live in the attic now, I would never get rid of them.

I dont have an imaginary friend, it's a pity because I want one for lonely times.

Couldn't you just imagine one?

I don't have imaginary friends, per se, but the main characters in some of my stories are kind of the same thing. I'm rather attached to them; even the ones I don't really write about much anymore.

I like to imagine I have an imaginary friend.

I guess I still have one. Don't hang with her as much as I used to. Her name is Kesha (Not to be pronouced as Ke$ha. It's pronouced Key-sha.), has brown hair, and is the same age as me. Had her for a long time.

I don't have one, but I'm always thinking about current events or religion... You could say I have a TV as an imaginary friend, haha!

I think it counts; I have them, too. Imaginary celebrities are awesome. You can make them do anything you want. I actually have some really melodramatic times with these imaginary celebrity friends of mine (with imaginary melodramatic surroundings to match, sometimes). It's like a constant fanfiction in my head (I've actually written fanfictions based off some of my imaginary experiences).

I'm just afraid of what would happen if I were to ever actually meet one of the celebrities I think about.

Not sure if it counts, but I have characters that I make up conversations with
Axel and Loreto. As well as their "friends" - who've yet to tell me their names...

I've had imaginary friends in some form or other for as long as I can remember. Due my difficulties with socialising, as well my dislike of interacting with other children, imaginary friends satisfied a demand that real people simply couldn't meet when I was a young child. As I got older and began to involve myself in the outside world more frequently, my imaginary friends assumed the role of something I could turn to when real-life interaction became too much (this being reasonably often ).

In earlier times, they were typically fictional creatures that I'd dreamt up myself; as time went on, actual humans became more common. Whether 'fully human' or not, though, my imaginary friends have always had human-like personalities.

At the moment, there are four people who are entirely of my own creation, and another that could be described as an 'imaginary version' of a close real-life friend.
