Imaginary friends =/= god

I am a 30 y/o disabled woman and care home resident. Since I was young I've formed imaginary bonds mostly w/ musicians, but sometimes w/ TV or song characters, mostly fantasy ones, who I’m fully aware I either don't actually know/are not real.They give me advice, comfort me, etc. I can see myself doing this for my whole life. I see them as friends & when the mood takes me, lovers.

I dreamed of one. She came to me in the blue-black night to ask how I was getting on, told me in no uncertain terms -- complete w/ wagging finger -- why my life had to change & w/ a smile that melted my bones she told me however bad things get I still have ________ [band name], & when I had need to whisper her name 3x.

I doubt I have a friend/family member who doesn't know I do this, or at least see it as something I might do. People don't seem to avoid me, & I get on w/ most people, even though I’ve spent half my life thinking I’m not well-liked.

When I tried to live w/o said outlet I did indeed manage – so I know I can – , but managing/existing doesn't = living. I was so unhappy I gave in & opened it back up again.
People believe in God, but he can't be seen , heard etc. either; neither can saints, angels, spirit guides etc. that lots of people seem to truly believe in. So why shouldn't I do what I do? I've never seen any difference.

    I don't see a problem with it at all unless you block real people out did to it. But it doesn't sound like you do so.

    You defended your feelings by saying that (some) people believe in a god so what's the difference.

    Good point, both these things are not true.
    There is no real defense in lying to yourself because it makes you feel good, the reality is what you believe is false. Wake up.

    You seem to forget there is a debate of weather he is real or not. So he is not considered the same as in imaginary friend. Also not one single person believe in god so its an overall belief that this person did exist not the thoughts of a single mind. I never understood the concept of an imaginary friend. I don't get how someone can simply pretend someone is there when they know they are not. I mean even talking to your stuffed animal makes more sense. You know for a fact you are the one making it up so what the use of talking to air?

    When it comes to fantasies/imaginary friends it is more like You are the "God". I'm not saying that's bad, just my observation..
