Is it normal to have imaginary friends at the age of 14?
Ok so I've had imaginary friends since I was about 4 and they still exsist, and sometime I even watch tv shows and imagine the story happening to me and the characters are my friend or sometimes enemies and if something sad happens I would be sad in real life and I can't be happy until I get over it in my imaginary world. Is it a mental problem?
Is it normal to have imaginary friends at 17?
i am 17 and i still have imaginary friends. i know that they are only imaginary and they don't interfere with my real life. but obviously it's not normal to have imaginary friends at 17. i don't talk to them aloud. whenever i get bored or stressed during the day i just think about them. i do have really good real friends, and so i am just confused why i still have imaginary friends. what do you think about all this and if i should get rid of them how do you think i can do it?

It is a mistake to ask about "normal" behavior. It doesn't exist. It is a made up thing, based on statistical analysis of data that cannot possible measure everything that makes up a human. It makes more sense to ask whether a behavior of yours is causing you harm. If it is, then you have to think about how to change the behavior. But if it is causing you no harm, why should you change it? Why should you care whether a large percentage of other people do it, or not?You only need see a doctor if you are somehow being hurt by your imaginings. As far as I can tell, it doesn't seem like the behavior of thinking up friends and conversing with them in your head is harmful. It could hurt, I suppose, if you do this instead of having real relationships. It might also hurt if your characters start telling you to do things you don't want to do. However, if you are just entertaining yourself at times when you are alone, I don't see how that harms you. So, even if no one else does this (and there are people who do) it doesn't matter. It works for you and doesn't hurt you.

The question is not whether or not it is normal, the question should be, “why?”Why do you have imaginary friends? Are you shy or afraid?Do you have friends outside of the imaginary one? The world can be a difficult place to be if you are trying to find out where you belong. People can be mean and nasty which makes it difficult to feel safe to meet new people. If you are worried about having an imaginary friend, I wouldn’t let too many people know, that could just open a box of worms that aren’t imaginary and make fitting in even harder.
Is it normal to have imaginary friends at 15??
What is normal anyways? If you don't mind it and it does not interfere with your life in negative ways, then who cares? I have seen imaginary people in my teen years too. When I was 17. It isn't something I tell people, but I don't know. I just kinda accept that it happened. Mine was a guy named Ross. My counselor said my mind probably made him up from feeling lonely for a while. That was one of the more vivid imaginations that I have had. Also, I have a habit of talking to people (who I know in real life) that aren't there. Like I just kinda talk aloud when I am alone to my friends and boyfriend and imagine what their response would be. It's kinda my way to imagine social scenarios because I get nervous about not knowing what to talk about. And I am 20. I thought this was pretty normal. Main point: I think there is nothing wrong with it. As long as it doesn't have negative effects.

Tricky. Having more than 1 that you have full fledged conversations with and have distinctive personalities. You say you're artistic, there is a possibility you have created these friends as a form of art, or even they are isolated parts of you in several different friends. Either way, I would say it is not healthy to create people that you talk to and can even 'talk to back to you'. It's all your mind, you say you know what is real and what is not, like you know these friends do not exist and that you probably made them up. I won't go as far as to say it's BAD, but keep an eye on it. If these friends start to pop up when you don't want them to, or even start talking back or 'saying' things they shouldn't...SERIOUSLY talk to your parents!...if they start saying things like 'people are out to get you'...STOP and FIND HELP!
Is it normal that I have a imaginary friend?
I wouldnt say 'normal' if you are older than five or six but as long as the voice stays encouraging i guess you don't need to worry. If your 'friend' starts to direct you to do mean or dangerous or illegal things then youve got a real problem.
Is it normal to have an imaginary friend as a teenager?
The incredible power of imagination a function of the mind throughout one's life is great! This brilliant ability "to think to create" that can be triggered by choice or can simply phased into by our sheer senses. And, as I see it, the mind has three main states it can be in at any given time, the active, the involuntary, and the non-active. (Should elaboration be needed to distinguish or for correlation to more familiar "clinical" jargons, will oblige any request) Imagination can be called upon directly by one's conscious controlm to summon the power in their mind. Or, it might be triggered indirectly by the request of another person or animal, or even by the environment of earth and sky.Is it normal to have an imaginary friend as a teenager? Sure! But."When I was a child I spoke as a child I understood as a child I thought as a child; but when I became a man I put away childish things." You grow up to do the thing as an adult. Responsibly and Accountable.An imaginary friend is not the same as Aesop as in Aesop's Fable, whose "fable" story has transcended time. Aesop, almost with certany, was real person and did exist, somehow transported to Greece. Aesop, I believe in Greek, translate to black was possibly from Africa and told fables with animals some not indigenous to Europ, i.e. The Giraffe in Sour Grape. You might use your imagination to see how this dialog of animals created. That being said, might having imaginary friends….get the point, Oblio?
