I sleep with a blankie every night, and I'm an adolescent. I had it since I was 6 years old. Before that though, I had another blankie. When I was around 6, I made things up like a magical dimension, where my spirit was born. And then my spirit was flung from that magical kingdom, into this earthly word, into the body of a fetus. And my blankie was my regal pet/guardian that stayed with me. It's kind of silly, but I for some reason still partly believe it... I mean, I don't, but I feel like if I say I don't, I'm dissing them.. I would(and still do) "telepathically talk" with her(my blankie), and it's not like I'm crazy.. It's kind of like an imagonary friend..? But I know it's not real, but I don't like to openly say that. It's just reviewing my thoughts with another part of myself, I guess. But the other part of myself happens to take form in my blankie. She has a name too.. and I take very cautious care when washing it.. but it is starting to become more thread bare and stuff.. I really want to use the word she instead of it, but that'd be weird.. Perhaps I'm too lonely.. and she has been a constant in my life.

    Well quite honestly, I think that it's kind of awesome that you do this and have a whole story behind it. Whether this is 'normal' or not, I can't tell you, but If it isn't interfering with your life, I say keep it up! You sound like an interesting person, and the world needs more interesting people!

      Sorry, I didn't know what else to call her/it... Honestly, while typing this, it felt a little odd using the term 'blankie' so many times, since I rarely use it while speaking. I tried to change it up, up I had no idea what would be less weird...

    When we were kids my sister had a blankie she slept with and carried around that she called her Noh Noh. I'm more the stuffed animal type myself but they've been tossed aside for living breathing cats and dogs.

    I think it's completely normal and it is nothing to be ashamed of. I think it's nice to have a friend like that even if she's not a person and I know for a fact that you're not the only one :)

    I appreciated my blankie too long also, and it didn't hurt me any. It was comforting. That was long ago. I find I enjoy soothing people, so maybe you will be like that also. And I know how to be soothing, also.
