yup,used to have one.dont really remember what it was like but i used to call him samie sa :cool:

Yes, his name was Peter, an elaborate story was created primarily revolving around his fiery relationship with his twin sisters. He used to come to dinner, and there would have to be an empty plate next to me for him. He only ate invisible food. He eventually died (of cancer, allegedly) when I was about 6.

I was an awkward child, looking back.

Yeah his name was Coninj

I used to ring him on the house phone all the time my parents weren't impressed.

I first masturbated around 6 even though I had no idea what was going on. I needed no imaginary friends after that.

Not true, but AH appropriate response

I have an imaginary friend. He's either Elvis Presley or Val Kilmer, not sure. He always ends his speeches with "I like you...always have, always will".

RinkyDinkSlink · 05-12-2010 05:27PM

Yup. Her name was my name with a Super in front of it (how original was I?). She was magical and I totally couldn't understand the grown-up's finding her funny. She eventually left when I was about 7 to travel around the world.

I had a few. One was called Invisible Vincent, he was a pilot. Another was called Vaseline, my father killed her by accident by sitting on her. Vaseline was great, I used to leave my veg for her because she liked veg and I didn't.

Thats something I've always wondered about, do imaginary friends appear real to the people who have them? Do they walk, talk and appear solid like everyone else or is it somehow different?

I didn't but my daughter does.She's five.
His name is Ghosty and she is always chatting away to him and playing with him.
Most recently she was jumping from one foot to the other bursting to go to the loo. When i asked her why she didn't just sit on the the toilet instead of just looking at it she said " because Ghosty is doing a poo "

just wait til 'Ghosty' starts throwing your furniture around the room at 4am :pac:

Honestly no. Never thought it was a possibility until I heard people talk about it.

Agricola · 05-12-2010 08:18PM

No. Even if I had been asked that question when I was 8 years old, Im pretty sure i would have said you were a mentalist!

Yes, I couldn't agree more.

I had two. I must have bored the first one:o

Little Acorn · 05-12-2010 08:52PM

Do children actually see these imaginary friends, as in the form of some hallucination, or do they just pretend about seeing them for attention/company or whatever?
Could be ghosts that they are seeing?

Saruman · 05-12-2010 09:02PM

No. I am the poster boy for sanity I guess

Stench Blossoms · 05-12-2010 09:29PM

My sister had one. His name was Dulling.

Dad was bringing her to the shops once and she screamed from the back of the car to stop. My dad did 'cause he thought she was sick or something. She got out of the car and proceeded to tell Dulling to get into the car and she slapped him over the back of the head and told him never to be bold again.

She's never going to live it down.

Did you (do you) have an imaginary friend?
