this is a serious question. i have 2 imaginary friends, lorain and bob. lorain claims to be a ghost that lives in the backroom of the house. she's kinda old, about late 70s or early 80s, she hasnt told me her exact age. bob is a theif and murder. bob is not his real name, its an alias. he always wears a ski mask and black jacket and is 25. i dont know why they are my friends but they are. is it normal for a 13 yr old to have imaginary friends? i have real friends and i live a pretty normal life except for this

Well, at least you know they are imaginary. Are you an only child and have large periods of time at home alone? I would say Bob might concern me a little. Have you talked to your parents about this?

I agree with Frosty. Imaginary friends aren't unnatural, they only show that the person is lonely and in need of company. But you should make this condition clear with your parents, and possibly a psychiatrist. When a person's subconscious mind creates long-lastings illusions or thoughts, those can take their own part in affecting the victim's conscious mind. Whether your imaginary friends are going to diminish later I don't know. If they don't, it might be good to make sure they are harmless and under control.

Well you can't say that you are crazy because I actually have seen ghosts and they are real. But the ones I saw they never talked to me unless I was half sleep with my arms under my stomach which caused low blood circulation which took me into a half way there state. I could see the room and every movement but I couldn't move. All I say is be careful because some times imaginary friends are real and they will try to make you harm yourself.

Many a circumstances what existence gives you us isn't equivalent to what we want from existence. each individual lives in 2 parallel worlds. One, that's the suitable state...what could desire to be or what you like. the different one is the certainty... what that's or what you get. once you're making buddies, you knowingly and unknowingly examine there features. some features impression you which of them are closer to 'what you like' and make the bond between you 2 greater advantageous. at an analogous time as many seem against to 'what you like' checklist. There, if the undesirable features are greater, you initiate wishing for a chum who has all the characteristics you 'want'. this could bring about advent of imaginary buddies. Your imaginary buddies are all maximum appropriate to flow with and could be a calming to have as nicely. yet do no longer ignore that no-one in this worldwide is suitable and you apart from could piss off your human beings as usually as they do you.

Probably not very normal, more extra ordinary or odd.
When you get older you will have imaginary friends at work, but they will be real people.

Well do you actually see them?? I don't understand... is it just for fun, or do you really believe they exist? If you do then maybe you are suffering from schizophrenia. If you are, you should definately go seek help right away.

If it's normal for lot people prey to a dead man Jesus. Then I guess it's normal for you to have imaginary friends.
