Yes, I had an imaginary friend named Gombie who was ghost shaped and a couple of squirrel shaped imaginary friends who I forgot their names. I wonder how Gombie is doing these days.

In high school ?

I had imaginary enemies as a kid, partly inspired by this scene.

In high school ?

I didn't have an imaginary friend until middle school. And then, to make up for lost time, I overdid it.

I had an imaginary twin brother. He had an imaginary friend(I didn't want my brother to be lonely).

I would talk of him and his friend, go on and invent scenarios that had happened, feigned upset with one or both of them, made concerned calls to talk about them, had convincing conversations with them in the open.

I was a hell of an actress, and when I came clean in early adulthood, there were a couple friends(real friends) who didn't want to believe they weren't real, and suggested perhaps they were just ghosts I was talking to(instead of fooling them all).

I never had an imaginary friend. But I encouraged
my kids to have them. We made up many.

Is imaginary the same as inflatable?

That depends upon your relationship.

That depends upon your relationship.

We're going through a messy divorce at the moment.

Who got custody of the little ones?

I've
actually been trying to cultivate a relationship with an imaginary friend.

Not kidding. I've found that it's easier for me to organize my thoughts if I say them out loud, and especially if I pretend that I'm saying them to someone.

Since I wear my ear protectors everywhere I go and they can easily pass for a phone headset, nobody thinks twice when I pass them on my bicycle talking to myself.

Haven't quite been able to get into the habit yet though.

 

[Viker]

I did.

Talking to myself and having imaginary conversations... I do that a lot when (I think) I'm alone.
I can imagine when people catch me in the act, they might think I'm schizophrenic or something.

Maybe pick up a pair of ear protectors. Better yet get the kind with a microphone.

Nobody will ever know.

Nah, I'm fine with the way things are.
Also, I usually don't like dulling my senses, I prefer to be able to hear well what's going on around me.
I do have special ear plugs, though I rarely use them anymore.
But I'm glad I still have them when I have to throw glass away.
The noise it makes when I throw it into the garbage container hurts my ears.

No I had these friends when I was about 5 years old if I were to guess

 

[Mock Turtle]

Not me - probably didn't have enough imagination.

I still do it as a philosophical technique. They are not friends as such as they are debate positions, but I act as if they are real, when I do it. But that is just me.

 

[SalixIncendium]

I had an imaginary friend. He preferred to play with the kids across the street.

I'd say, "Well...I guess I'll catch you later then."

He'd reply, "Whatever, loser!"

 

[Heyo]

Never had an imaginary friend. Nor did I know of any imaginary friends my friends had - until I realized that some really believed the stories the pastor told.
