I’m 21 and I have an imaginary friend.
I keep her existence hidden from people. I talk to her in my mind. I NEVER confuse her with a real person.
We started talking when I was going through puberty. I didn’t know about imaginary friends and called her “Voice” and she teased me.
When I was 14, she incited thoughts of revenge, but that changed and now she encourages tolerance and respect. She became a positive force in my life. I’m usually the rash one and she’s usually “let’s think it over” one. She still teases me, but it’s mostly funny, not embarrassing anymore.
I rarely ran into issues because of her, and those were when I told a wrong person about her.
I’m not social, but I handle myself well in a society. I am more confident than most people. People who know me say that I act younger than my age (usually like it’s a good thing). And I wonder if having an imaginary friend might have something to do with it. I’ve been told that 21 is a bit old for that. Is it?
