I have no friends. I am 22 years old with avoidant personality and add. I used to have an imaginary friend when I was 17 years old but I dont know what happen to him. I think i grew out of it.

My mother knew a girl in her neighborhood growing up who had an imaginary friend. I can't remember what she said his name was, though. There were times when I've thought about creating an imaginary friend (or even an imaginary boyfriend). I don't think I have it in me to do that, though, probably because I have experienced both of those things in real life before, and imaginary ones will never compare to the real thing.

I've had my imaginary friends since I was 5. :) one is my guide and basically parental figure, the other is my best friend. We can joke about anything. Both are my most trusted friends and I turn to them before anyone else. Is that creepy? Maybe. But they are my only comfort.

Well, I have had an imaginary boyfriend before. Thats the one I had when I was 17. He was great, but see when I got a real boyfriend, I guess he ran away. I am not one that tends to talk to myself in my head or anything. Nor do I hear voices. I do however, tend to talk to pictures of people who I adore. For instance, Michael Jackson is my hero & inspiration. Most of the time I would have a picture of him open on my computer and I would talk to it. I feel like he is actually present in my room and can see me. He never have him talk back. And I don't think I speak to him out loud that I know of.

I want to creat a new one though.

Yeah dont think its a good idea....you goal is to not avoid situation. A imaginary friend will only keep you in a viscous cycle and make it worst.

I had an imaginary girlfriend which was really a girl who was just a friend mainly. I wanted this more than anything in the world because all my friends were guys and I'm nervous when it comes to being in a relationship with the opposite sex but I feel if I was just friends it would solve everything, now more than ever seeing I have no friends anymore. This one girl called Crystal was friends with me she was always thinking of me as just the funny guy but I was part of the cool group then, guys with cool names like Tyron and useless stuff like that I think she just saw me as the easier one of the group so when I wasn't part of it anymore that was it that's when I would start imagining to fill the void, she had a great personality though, same interests too lol.

I've had lots of imaginary friends since I was a kid. It helped me to go through my loneliness. I think imaginary friends are good unless you become maladaptive about it or avoid real situations.

^lol its exactly same with me. They're the people I trust the most and closest with. Maybe it sounds creepy but as long as I know its just my imagination and I enjoy having them who cares? :p

I dont know if its considered an imaginary friend or not but its kinda like talking to my internet persona, where he is the person ive always wanted to be, cuz iv lied ALOT on the internet about my life to other people to make it seem interesting. I know its sad lying to people on the internet. Well anyways when i`m feeling really down, I impersonate him and critisize my real self... i dont quite know how to explain it....
