should i tell or continue with it?

Question

i have this imaginary guy that has exist in my mind longer than i thought. somehow sometime this year i eventually let this imaginary guy (IG) alive. like constantly telling my friend about IG, how we meet, how we dote on each other... his jokes.. yadayada but i never once say that he is actually just an imaginary thing. My friend keep on asking me to expose his face and identity for the sake of knowing the guy that i've been talking so much lately. to avoid them, i always make an excuse how IG hates cameras or prefer to stay low profile and refuses to meet ny of them. somehow my friends bought it.I know this seems weird and crazy but somehow i like having IG "around",

but i do have this sense of guilt lying to my friends but i don't want to erased IG just like that.
and if i were to do so, how can i tell my friends about IG disappearances (since i decided to stop talking bout him) without even telling them that IG is imaginary?
help?

Answer 1

^^" I've had an imaginary guy friend too!! (except I based his personality on a real guy) juz lied abt his id..

but mine was considered lying to my friends too.. I felt guilty abt it.. but thank God, it blew past.. apparently, my friends are not too keen on talking abt it cuz we "broke up".. yea, well, I never told them abt it.. it all started with the "we broke up" words.. therefore.. it all worked out gud..

if u dun wanna have to tell ur friends u lied, then tell them u broke up.. its sad for anyone & tell them it hurts to talk abt him..

if u really decide on the more honest approach, then tell them, they might not look at u the same way again.. (& u know that) but it can either be bcuz of ur honesty or not.. ^^" so, think it through... honesty or little white lie (that didn't hurt anyone..)

but hey, the 1st method worked for me.. ^^" the sense of guilt, well, it will blow over along with everything else, like IG.. =D (time heals everything..) or almost everything... ...

gud luck!!~

You need to end this right now. This is not real and you are in an altered state if you think this is norm.
You need to fess up to your friends and tell them the joke was on them and you were trying an experiment to see if you could get people to believe you.
The problem is when you are with "the one" you don't talk all the time about them. there is a sense of joy and elation that exudes from your body.
Your eyes sparkle all the time, you are in a dreamy state and you sure as heck want to show him off,.
So I think your pals know but are waiting for you to give up this charade.
You will never meet someone when you are living in a dream fantasy with someone you concocted in your mind.
I think there would be more happiness and pleasure in having someone you could feel, touch, love, caress and kiss.....

Answer 3

i don't think it's healthy to have that kind of imagination constantly for the rest of your life, so I think you should NOT continue with it.

maybe you feel really lonely so you let this IG alive?
try to have more healthy relationships with real guys, try to make friend with guys, hang out with your girl friend who has many male friends.

if you're shy to tell your friends that IG is imaginary, maybe you can create a story that IG moved to another country with his parents, he said goodbye and now you lost contact with him?
But make sure this is your LAST imaginary story, no more lies after this, ok

Answer 4

Just don't talk about him. When people ask, look sad, and say, "I don't want to talk about it."

People will then think he found someone else.

Do NOT do something stupid like say, "He stepped on a land mine in Iraq" (Not sure how old you are). That makes it too public.

Seek out your own real guy, otherwise you are headed for problems in relationships, down the road.

Answer 5

tell your friends IG and you have separated, he is moving away and so you decided to split, and keep him just for you when you are on your own

Answer 6

okaaaaay then i would stop talking about him 'it' whatever it is tell them you broke up with him then try not do this again as its all a bit weird?? unless your at high school i would probably understand then i know kids are cruel if you arent doing what there doing good luck

Answer 7

you are imaginative
I THINK THE PROBLEM IS DIFFERENT
you wd developed some thing else if you quit IG
seek medical advice
