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?

No! no! no!....welcome to AB.

Yes, it is. How old are you? Imaginary friends stop when you start primary school.

It would be more disturbing if you thought they really existed, but imaginary friends are really only for small children.

[DaisyD63976]

So from what you're saying, it's ok depending on age? Is 14 ok?

I would question what you are achieving by imagining Not, and even Makato.
Though I'm not a psychologist...

[boxtops]

You say "the ones I see the most". Do you actually SEE them, or just imagine them in your mind? when does this happen, at night, or any time?

I asked mine and they said it's fine.

[DaisyD63976]

I know they are in my head, but sometimes I get confused and think I see them.

[DaisyD63976]

When my real friend asks me to stop thinking about them to stop being distracted, I can't get rid of them

But you do know that they are part of your imagination, right?

Some may argue that God (of whichever religion) is just an imaginary friend that some speak to on a regular basis.

Is it affecting your day to day life?

If the thought of these 'friends' unsettles you, then seek some professional advice - if you are happy with them as an extension of your own personality then nothing to worry about.

Maybe it is you wishing you were more adventurous.

Personally I don't be believe in God, but if he did exist, why would he take mil tipple forms inside my brain, two of which self harm, scream, cry, laugh ect

[DaisyD63976]

Not really. The closest thing to asking me to do something was when Not screamed "Kill me"

I think you are just imagining it.
