Did you have an imaginary friend(s) when you were younger?

I did the same with nintendogs, I would pretend that they were with me at school, and when I was walking home too when I didn't have the console with me.
Yup! I had this one doll named Lumby (don't ask how I came up with that name ) and I used to pretend she was with me in the lunch line at school lol.
I used to have this doll called William, but I never really treated him like a son, I treated him more like a brother who wasn't much younger than me (despite the fact it was a baby doll and I was much older but whatever lol, I wasn't going to let that stop my imagination).
It's kind of ironic that I developed a phobia of dolls when I got older. (I blame TV, and horror for this).
Only certain kind of dolls though, like the super realistic ones that look like toddlers, or old porcelain dolls,sometimes ventriloquist dolls/dummies but only when they're on their own, if someone is animating them then I find it less scary . Other dolls, like barbie dolls, don't bother me at all. I guess that's just because of the uncanny valley effect though, I hate realistic looking dolls. They make me uncomfortable.
Hehe I have this one really realistic doll . It's weighted to feel like a real baby. I bet you wouldn't like it very much!

I have always had imaginary friends. I'm 23 and I have several. Many of them are based off of characters on TV shows that I like, but they aren't identical in every aspect to the characters.

I never did cuz I lack the imagination for it but people thought I did because I talked to myself & had very few real friends
