Is It Weird To Have Imaginary Friends?

[DaisyD63976]

Hi
I have imaginary friends but I honestly didn't think it was that weird until my real friend said it was. Is it? Or is he messing with me? I have quite a few but Duncan, Aaron, Makoto and Not are the ones I see the most.
Aaron likes to jump off things, Duncan has green hair, Makoto mutilates himself (sometimes with the help of Not) and sometimes Not masturbates and cries :/
Ok I know Not is a little weird but it's just my imagination right?

I think that by now you should have grown out of your imaginary friends. I think youneed help. Do your parents know about these friends and what they do and say?

[Baldric]

yep, that's weird!

[DaisyD63976]

I've only told one of my friends about them. They don't really say anything they just scream and cry and giggle. I do hear the occasional word from their screaming but it's not very pleasant

[Tilly2]

Perhaps you should tell an adult about them

[DaisyD63976]

I'm not really sure I want to. What if they take them away from me?

[Tilly2]

Well, that will be a good thing, Daisy.

I think your friends have got beyond the point where they are safe for you. If you can't talk to your parents, is there another adult you could talk to or maybe a help phoneline like Samaritans?

[DaisyD63976]

I understand that they can be annoying, and they certainly don't help with my migraines, but for some reason I dolt want them to go. I've had them for so long it would be weird without them

[DaisyD63976]

They've never hurt me

[woofgang]

You are obviously worried or you wouldn't be talking to a load of strangers about it.

[DaisyD63976]

All I wanted to know was if it was normal

[Tilly2]

You have asked us if it's weird and the majority of us think it is.

[woofgang]

I don't think you are the only person who has had this experience but IMO while it may not be abnormal in the sense that no one else has ever had the experience, its neither safe nor healthy.

[Tilly2]

Definitely not normal at your age.

[DaisyD63976]

So the conclusion is, "I am a weirdo who fantasises about demon like creatures that mutilate themselves and scream/cry/laugh ect"

[DaisyD63976]

1, not really
2, depends what I want them to do
3, yes but it's hard

[Tilly2]

If you say so, Daisy. I will leave it at that. Good luck for the future.

[DaisyD63976]

Well that makes me feel so much better (sarcasm)
