Is it normal to have an imaginary friend?
Answer:
I think you sound pretty well-adjusted to me - you are obviously very intelligent and/or imaginative and need an outlet to express all your ideas and feelings. These imaginary friends may be nothing more than projections of the various facets of your psychological make-up, enabling you to experiment and explore in a relatively safe way. University will probably engage you on so many levels and so deeply that you may find that you have less need of these imaginary friends. A lot of people have an imaginary friend and talk to him/her every day - only they aren't as honest or as inventive as you and call their imaginary friend a journal...writing is a good way to express your feelings. Try it.
Imaginary friends i am sorry to say is a sign of understimulation, In children its a form of neglect.
Try to socialize with real people? If that is hard there are many therapies that teach socials skills very well, it very effective
i don't think your'e mentally ill. it sounds like youre lonely, and this is your way of dealing with it.
sure you aren't a little crazy? anyways, i think it's pretty normal for people to kinda talk to t hemselves or express ideas out loud to themselves from what i've seen. i don't think it's all that weird ya know you are still young so i think you'll be ok.
its not normal, see a psychologist plz
not very normal, as a kid its a sign of neglect and lonely ness. everyones diffrent and this could just be some weird thing about you, but its definately not normal @ your age and not a good sign. talk to a psychologist.
First of all as long as you realize its an imaginary friend, you should be ok. Its when you cant tell if its imaginary or not that your in trouble. Secondly, as long as the first condition is in place, I think you need to socialize a little more and make some real friends, that should be the end to your imaginary friends. But if you make real friend and still you chose to be with your imaginary friends instead then you got something else going on, and you might want to see a therapist.
This is a normal part of a child's development. However, it usually occurs in early childhood. Do you actually think these people are real? Can you see or hear them? If so, I think a psychological evaluation is in order. If you know that they are not there, this is just a habit you've fallen into. The way to break a habit is to substitute another. Try to develop a close friendship with someone you can trust. Or get a pet that you can talk to.
I see no reason not to have an imaginary Friend as I myself have one too.You would be surprised to know that we quit often hook up with people on the astral planes that have been dead for some time. I myself have a freind on the astral plane who is an old and elderly woman whom I call grandma and I talk with her all of the time. She has a very morbid sense of humour just like myself and so we get along very well.
oh please! children do not have to be lonely to have an imaginary friend! it could just be an over-active imagination! although it is very unheard of at 15. I guess that you dont have many friends, if thats so your probably shy and underconfident, i would suggest to see someone but not because of the imaginary friends as this is just a side effect of the fact that you have sunk within yourself-you need to deal with your confidence and self esteem issues, which should lead to you making friends easier, therefore forgetting about your imaginary friends. good luck. p.s see a cognitive-behaviourist psychologist-they are the best for dealing with maladaptive thinking processes like yours and are good with breaking the cycle!
spiritually sensitive people have this problem... there is an imbalance in nature and we've all been working on problems Mother nature has been working so the humans are off the hook.. we learn you shouldn't have imaginary friends it should have been more like living in an imaginary house... and your work is kept there... hopefully your friends will leave and your house will balance.
