Title. I never had one, so I wanna hear about it.
Lots of people seem to have this one imaginary friend named Jesus
Our child has one. Her name is Kiki and she lives on a farm where she drives her tractors in a village called Plamplams. She speaks also an imaginary language. It seems like she represents experience he lives through vicariously expressing some image he has on how he fits in this world. We as his parents have always encouraged him; it is wonderful how he develops such creative images.
Ask him for me which one of these is more like Kiki, please?
That’s adorable. I hope Kiki means a lot to him :)
One day he was going on about Kiki, how she does things in a certain way and I kept him going by say how interesting it was. He then turned to me and asked “You know that Kiki isn’t real, right, I made her up?”. He doesn’t like lying or being lied to, so within that frame I guess he wanted me to confirm that it was just play.
My girlfriend in high-school had an imaginary friend when she was a child. By the time we had met and got together he was in jail for murder I think. That was the end of the friendship.
Hmmm me and my twin had an imaginary triplet. I don’t know what he was upto now. Or how he was identical to us when we always called him him when we are not male, generally.
I feel he’s doing well. He was our evil triplet, so this economy he should be doing great. Thriving and stuff.
I know somebody that had. Their imaginary friends died of a drug overdose… so, yeah…
That’s…brutal. Are they okay? Did something happen to them? Or is that just what they decided should happen?
I mean, the imaginary friends took their decisions and got their consequences. The (real) person is ok. I guess it was just a dramatic end to their √(-1) friends
I remember them. My my imaginary friends were stuff like The Looney Toons (I was really into Space Jam) and Sailor Moon. I remember “Playing with Bugs and Lola” at recess. I had them until around late middle school when I started to make friends here and there. I would think back on them with embarrassment, but now I’m thankful for the “support.”
I had 3, but I moved away and lost touch. I sometimes wonder if they’re still there.
She’s still next to me rn, and we discuss by telepathy when i am bored (although people sometimes ask me wth i am doing)
Does she feel autonomous to you? Or more like an extension of you? That sounds pretty cool, either way!
If it was autonomous, i think i would have a mental problem, nah, it’s mostly an extension of me to talk to when i’m in a deep reflexion, upset, worried or simply when i feel to. Kind of like a notebook, but in a conversationnal way.
I never had a lot of friends irl, and having someone i can really relate with to discuss helps easing loneliness. Thus why i still have an imaginary friend :)
