Hey Pandas, Did You Ever Have An Imaginary Friend As A Kid? (Closed)

yes! and I still do! but they are more of emotional attachments I have that stop me from having panic attacks. this is normal right?

Yes! I have them as an adult too... all of my friends are imaginary.

i was jealos when i heard people can have imaginary friends because i had never had one

I had two imaginary sisters. Their names were Sophia and Opal. Sophia had orange hair and Sophia was a Blondie. I created these two when I was an only child and always wanted a sister. Then, I got a brother in 2010. I REALLY wanted a sister, and in 2016, my little sister was born. My family didn't know we would get another sister in 2018. Because we never expected TWO sisters, they were not named Sophia and Opal.

Ok, so this sounds insane but hear me out. I very much think kids who have an imaginary friend are able to see what adults can’t. They are SO specific about who their friends are. For example, i nannied these little twin boys. When they moved to a new house, they started talking about their new friend “Jake”. When I asked what he looked like, they described a kid in a hospital gown with red socks.”when was Jake born?” I asked. In the 1800s was the answer. I kept asking more questions and they both got this terrified look and said “Jake doesn’t like you asking questions” “tell him I will ask all I want and he needs to stay with me” “no. Jake doesn’t like you because you love God.” Ok... so, I put the kids to bed and went outside in the pool. I put my clothes on a chair and went swimming, all of a sudden, something pushed and scratched me. I had scratch marks like it was fingernails on my back. I ran out of the pool and couldn’t find my clothes. They were thrown in the bushes. I was able to see the boy’s room from outside and no one went in or out. I grabbed my clothes and ran inside. Something kept pushing against the door as I tried to shut it. Then the lights started flickering while I shoved it shut. I called my BF and we prayed til it stopped. I quit after that even though I was being paid bank. Oh, and the red socks thing? That was a common practice back then for scarlet fever

Yep, still think about them sometimes. When I was in 2nd to 4th grade I had a small black and blue shoulder dragon and a adult male fox named Stick. They used to run with me on races or fallow my bus ride home.

Yes, and I still do

Yes. Mr. Walker. Just a black outline of a round cartoon shaped man wearing a bowler hat (No idea why he looked like this in my head). I was introduced to him by my dad; whenever we heard a noise or a creak that would scare us at night, he would tell us ‘don’t worry, it’s just Mr Walker wandering around checking the house is safe’. My dad had many flaws, but this is one of his finer moments in parenting I think. Mr Walker was security from the invisible sources of unfamiliar scary nighttime noises.

Yes! I had a little guy named fluff who kinda looked like a snow flinx from terraria, but was about 3 times bigger. We would always play in the backyard and have pretend laser battle fights.

I did, But my sister hated them. she said I had multiple personalities.

Well, I drew drawings of little creatures I made and called them my "Pokemon". They help me make decisions daily. I'm pathetic.

I had multiple. Ok ngl i still do they help cope with greif 😅
