Completely Normal. That's what the Juggernaut's Bitch tells me ALL time.

nope, u and ur imaginary friends.. when u go to the movies.. u dont let ppl sit by u? cause they r there?

No, it's nothing like THAT. Just if I'm bored or alone, especially at work, I'd imagine something I'd say out loud if anyone was around to hear it, then I imagine what my friends would say in response and it goes from there.

All you are doing is thinking to yourself about what your friends would potentially say if they were there. Some people are unable to put themselves in the position of others For example: imagining a friend who (speaking in the first person) is explaining why isitnormal sucks even though you (evidently) like it only means that you are capable of adopting multiple perspectives on stuff. Those who make fun are just jealous that Jesus is such a boring imaginary friend to have compared to ours.

Well that's what I tell myselves anyway.

You mean those little pretend conversations where you imagine a situation, or are you talking about saying, "I'm bored" aloud and then someone else uses your mouth to say, "Well then, go find something to do!" and then you get into a discussion with yourself over what to do then?

I do both. I even have extra people to do this with stored in my head, and I pretend to be them when I'm bored and there's someone's head to screw with. ^ ^

So, I suppose it's normal.

ye its kinda normal!!!

i say go get some real freinds...

After I argue with someone, I get really fucking pissed off. So I pretend as though I'm telling the story to someone, maybe my friends, and rationalizing what just happened. It makes me feel better. I say you're normal.

Since I've left high school I do this all the time. Since all my friends left me.

Just the brains way of coping. You need companionship even if they're imaginary.

i do this all the time, but in different ways, fo instance i'll imagine i'm famous and am being interviewed on tv or something, or, if i'm angry with someone, i'll imagine us having an arguement, and then i can be as offensive as i want, without having to say it to their face.

its called lay off the marijuana!

Yea I sometimes do it. Its cool.

perfectly normal! i do it all the time, sometimes even have full conversations!!

You feel you need the prescene of others to feel happiness, that is more normal than to seek isolation.

Get a dog.

Totally normal. I do the same thing all the time. Shows just how deep the need of human companionship is, eh?

lmao nice name and yea its ...NOT normal freak!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I used to do that. If I was ever extremely bored and alone I would like talk to a teddy bear or something. I would have them come up with a response, and pretend we're talking. I eventually grew out of that habit and whenever I was alone and bored, I would call some of my REAL friends.
