You see I am 12 and have 33 imaginary cookie friends and 3 imaginary elf friends. Is this normal? Because I don't think it is...Especially roleplaying with Q-Tips.

I dont think age is a problem to have imaginary friends. Its a time to remember childhood and also a way to talk to someone who will not say anything to anybody.

I dont think there is a right age, but I couldn't keep track of 33 real friends. I think you ahould cut down on the imaginary ones and pick up some more real ones. There is nothing wrong with an imagination, though.

It's a bit unusual - but if you have trouble making real friends it is natural to make some up so that you won't feel alone. You will probably notice that as you make more real friends that slowly you will rely less and less on the imaginary ones until one day you will have completely forgotten them.
It might help if your parents get you a pet, that way you will have a friend whenever you need one. I'm 24 and I talk to my dog whenever I need someone to talk to and my fiance is not around. She doesn't answer but it makes me feel better to have talked to someone.

after puberty, if you still have them then you may be using it as a coping strategy for something like loneliness or to ignore a tramatic event. There is nothing wrong with having imaginary friends as long as they behave and you remember they're not real.

Your imaginary friends sound cooler than my real friends.

Um, you really should limit yourself to no more than on imaginary classroom, 25 students tops. They should all be human, except your are allowed 1 fairy.

as long as you have more real friends than imaginary, there's no problem.

When you don't have many friends it is acceptable and appropriate to create a few. Even as an adult. We all need to have someone.

i htink its normal but dont let it control your life. like you are always alone just for them. I think that you should probably illiminate some of them.
Take activites and expand your group of friends. share memories with others that control themselves. not always with ones that you control over
