Title. I never had one, so I wanna hear about it.
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 love this story it’s brilliant
Lots of people seem to have this one imaginary friend named Jesus
forgotten
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.
I think I have some bad news about your ex gf 💀
I had 3, but I moved away and lost touch. I sometimes wonder if they’re still there.
Sorta. I dreamt I had an imaginary family in which I was the only child. IRL I am one of seven kids, plus some cousins and other kids my parents informally took charge of.
I used to imagine getting new clothes and toys instead of hand me downs, and getting to go to first run movie theaters (too expensive with 7 kids at $10+ per ticket), and eating foods nicer than basic bulk nutrients (Lunchables were the pinnacle of unnecessary expense on food).
Now I am employed and financially self sufficient. I don’t think about the imaginary family. I do sometimes have trouble spending money on myself. I recently bought a new jacket for $40, very reasonably priced for what it is and the quality. I had in the back of my head for a good three days after buying it that I didn’t really need it and it was a waste of money. Maybe I need the rich imaginary version of myself to tell me to stop feeling like a class-jumping fraud.
I still have never had a Lunchables, but that desire is long gone.
Love that youre in a better space for yourself.

Treat yourself if ever feel like wasting a few dollars on an experience. Life is about experiencing things. It doesnt have to be a lunchable though, youre definitely not missing anything
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
We peacefully fell out of contact
I didn’t have imaginary friends, but I did and still do have alters in my system which people assume are imaginary, does that count?
I don’t think it counts, but it sounds fascinating. Does everyone get along? Is it a tiring experience, or is it just a natural process?
Note : all systems are different.
In my own personal experience its pretty tiring, especially when someone doesn’t go to bed on time or does something strenuous and others in my system not knowing. And it feels natural to use, thought everyone was like this tell we learned more about what d.i.d. is and then we been able to get better at communicating with each other and working things out. D.i.d. naturally is a disorder built around stealth and lots of people don’t know they have it because it’s made to protect the person.
Dissociative identity disorder for the confused or OP reading this from outside the body that typed it
Wtf are you saying? That doesn’t make much sense, care to explain? It’s really confusing how you worded whatever your saying
