Is it normal to have an imaginary friend at 20 years old

I am 20 years old and just made up my own imaginary friend. He's a very loyal friend and he accompanies me whenever I am alone.

My real friends, even the one I thought as best friends always hurt my feeling. I've developed trust issues due to a conflict with them.

I get lonely at time while they're having some fun time. Call it weird but now, as I befriend my imaginary friend from my imagination, I feel quite happy and less lonely as I imagine my imaginary friend always walks next to me.

I also pretend doing stuff with him when I am alone as if he's really there.

However, I feel like I am lunatic when I do this though it gives me a little pleasure in friendship. So is it normal I've an imaginary friend at 20 years old?

    I know this may seem creepy to you: but I think that is adorable.
    Your so-call freinds shouldn't have the nerve to try and hurt your feelings including the one who you thought you could trust. Friends don't hurt other friends just for the fun of it.

    I believe what your doing is normal XD

    There is an old guy at IIN called Boogers. He has several imaginary friends that participate in the discussions. Boogers thinks he is normal but wishes that he wasn't. His "consortium" is a force to be reckoned with.

    No, it's not normal. If you have an imaginary friend at that age, you long to be with others. So I would suggest finding better friends.

    It's not common by any means, but I don't think it's necessarily abnormal either. Whatever makes you happy

    be prepared to serve prison time if your imaginary friend kills somebody. Man thats a true friendship if you ask me. do you all swap wives sometimes.
