Imaginary friend...?

Question

Like a lot of little girls- I had one, but I don't remember ever thinking of her as imaginary. A part of me wishes I still had one.
1- Is this terribly weird?
2- If I did decide to seek her in my imagination again- is it ever possible to believe she was real like before?

Answer 1

young children are simply able to perceive these companions/gaurdians or ancestors possibly, because they aren't yet very far removed from their complete multi-dimensional selves, the selves we are all aware of, as well as others, when we are between lives. sometimes as with myself and others, we don't grow away from that kind of awareness completely and can still perceive some of the other-dimensional beings/places/events, etc.. we are so much more than most of us perceive ourselves to be or to be capable of...we limit ourselves due to our socialization as we're growing up...there really are no limits in this multi-dimensional universe/life except for the self-imposed ones. so yes it is possible...all things are possible

Answer 2

Sadly, things are rarely as they were in the past. Your imaginary friend would have grown up just as you did.

I have not had an imaginary friend that I can remember and any attempts to try to create one has failed.

I do not think it weird to still want one. A lot of parents try to discourage imaginary friends because they have lost theirs and do not remember what it was like to have a personal confidant that is always there for you and a true friend that will never hurt you.

My belief is that an imaginary friend is an extension of yourself, more like a subconsicous you. This friend embodies all the inner feelings you have inside of you. Depending on your upbringing, this can be good or bad. I am sure you have heard stories where a kid does something bad and blames it on the imaginary friend. It is because of the lack of proper upbringing; a lack of values in the family.

How is a kid supposed to know that something is wrong unless he/she is taught that their actions have consequences and can hurt people?

It is good that you want to get back in touch with yourself, and as the other answerer has already said, you will need to be responsible for your actions in public and around others. Our society fears and condemns actions they do not understand. Talk to your imaginary friend in public and people will start to think you are crazy.

My suggestion, form a telepathic bond to your imaginary friend. That way you can speak to her without others knowing.
But do be careful that you do not become overly-obsessed with this imaginary friend that you forget to have any real friends. There is no substitue for real friends.

And remember, your imaginary friend is just your friend, not someone for you to blame if something goes wrong. Be responsible for your own actions.

Yes I know how that feels. When I was little I was an only child till I became 8. Well my dad used to be off at work and my mom was an immigrant from Bosnia. It used to be only the two of us alone in the house. So i think i had my first Imaginary friend when I was like 6?
My mom tells me how I used to talk to myself and laugh uncontrolably at nothing. Ha but I know better....
lol

No don't try seeking her in imagination I tried that b4 and I just got frustrated in the end

Answer 4

I am getting along in my years and I have known of several small children who had imaginary friends and wondered how real they were to the children who had them.

Answer 5

she can be real in many ways. Because you can't see or measure love, does that mean it is any less real than the bread you eat ?
use her as an advisory measure, or as reassurance... as long as you are not trying to introduce her to yr neighbour... and keep sight of normal reality... then it is as real as you want it to be. just a tool in heart and mind.
I use a lot of visualising techniques, and I don't see any harm in using your own imagination and seeing what happens....
