Adults with imaginary friends

Corned Beef Sandwich · 06-02-2018 11:52PM #1

I've heard stories of people who have had imaginary friends as children and then grow into adulthood and still see them (like John Nash). Do you know any?

"Speed" , the drug , used give me hallucinations a bit like what your talking about, I believe if you sniff petrol , it does something similar.

Sure do you remember I was only chatting to yourself and Napoleon Bonaparte apart about this last Thursday. When we were going over to Harvey's house.

I'm not being funny but if an adult genuinely claimed to be seeing an imaginary friend all the time and was talking to them shouldn't a friend or family member be telling their GP immediately for acessment?

I remember Sally in Home and Away had an imaginary friend "Milko"
At one stage bad guy Dodge started telling Sally that Milko was hanging around with him now, And Milko didn't like Sally anymore. Much to her distress. It all got sorted out in the end though.

I have 2 to 3 imaginary friends, usually i talk to them late at night, mostly weekends, usually when I am drinking ice tea from a bottle. One is called J D and the other friend is called John Power. I cant remember the third imaginary friend. My friend Paddy thinks Im half mad when he comes to visit me, he probably thinks I am talking to myself.

Don't know about adults but my neighbour looked after her grand daughter when her mum went to work . Every day she would hear the child talking and laughing in the bedroom where she kept her toys. She thought nothing off it but one day she went to the room and says to the child, Whats all the talking and laughing about today? to which the reply was.

Oh me and mentions name are having great fun. Neighbour said the shivers ran through her and she had to phone her husband to come home from work.

The child's imaginery friend turned out to be the man who owned the land that the grannys house was built on and was dead over 40 years. There was no way on this earth that the child ever heard the man's name mentioned

A childhood friend had an imaginary friend called Milco. Wonder if that came to anything?

John Nash was a paranoid schizophrenic, that probably explains the imaginary friends. If an adult was seeing things like that it would be a very worrying symptom of possible mental illness!

Mr. Squigglesby does not like the term "imaginary", he identifies as a person of non-corporeal existence.

Donald Trump has an imaginary friend called Many-people-are-saying, whom he regularly quotes in his tweets.

Didn't he turn out to be real, he was her twin brother? Or something!

Theatre of the absurd. Brilliant.

Highly strange...tulpas and egregores are not something I'd be inclined know a whole lot about..but from what I've read on the topic..it appears they are not something to go "playing with"
