Have you ever had an imaginary friend?

Question

I've always wondered if they were really real. I mean has anyone of you reading this have had an imaginary friend when you were young? Or at least have you known someone who has?

I always see they're mentioned in many movies and wondered if it were true?

Any thoughts?

Ok have you seen Beautiful Mind for example? I mean like that, really real. Russel Crow did though, I wish I could have a friend like that...

Answer 1

All my growing up years I thought it was God and I grew up and discovered GOD was imaginary. Why do people do that to children. First it's Santa then a God.

Answer 2

If you believed you had a friend even if you were the only one who could see and hear that friend , it would be real to you and not imaginary, at least not to you, only to those who believed that you were imagining something that wasn't real. Anyway, I have had my same two since babyhood (so I was told) and still do, they are always around but I only have contact with them in times of need, I think of them as my guardians and my friends.

Answer 3

In a sense, anyone who writes stories has imaginary friends- the characters that they invent for their stories. I occasionally have imaginary friends, but they're all based on characters for stories that I plan to write someday. I can't really see them, but it feels as if they're there sometimes. I've even had conversations with them.

Answer 4

Yeah, I used to have an imaginary friend. I used to wonder if it was really the spirit of my brother...my mom had a miscarriage before me. Not sure if I believe that now though.

Answer 5

Answer 6

Yes but the friendship turned out to be imaginary!

Answer 7

I've had an imaginary friend all of my life. I've tried to find reason for it through religion, nope. Tried to find reason for it through science (psychologist), nope again. I don't know who or what it is. It doesn't do my typing or my cleaning or anything like that. I can't really explain it. But, I've been told that I'm weird so maybe it's just my psychy talking back to me, you know, me myself and I thing.

Answer 9

never had one when I was little, but I did have one, briefly, when I was 15, and I do have one now, occasionally (I'm 20). They feel real, although you can't see them. It's a mental construct created by your brain, during times when you really truly need a friend. Oh, the power of the human brain!
