How common is it for kids to have imaginary friends?

[HabitualChiller]

It's decently common imo. I tried having one when I was 9, but I started creeping myself out so I deaded that shyt

If you talk to yourself now, it’s an extension of your imaginary friend

Dumbest shyt I've heard in a while.

I have to admit, I am guilty of thinking aloud/talking to myself sometimes. So I can't really judge but her behavior was something to see lol

Early signs of schizophrenia.
Who the fukk has imaginary friends besides Cac kids,the mentally disturbed or nikkas doing time in the hole?
Don't let these women and werdios in here convince you it's "normal" it's not.

Real nikkas talk to themselves or at least other objects when faced with solitude.

This.

I only seen cac kids or weirdos have imaginary friends.

I had one - but he was my imaginary boyfriend.

His name was Kenny - and he worked at K-mart. I liked him cause he would bring me toys and dresses from K-mart. K-mart was my store when I was little.

After my mom brought him up a few years ago - I realized my imaginary relationship was inappropriate as hell. I was 4-6 years old -- and imaginary Kenny had to be atleast 16 to work at K-mart.

Talking to yourself is normal.
Humans wouldn't have made it halfway this far if no one talked to themselves.
Most the time when you talk to your you're trying to solve some type of problem.

Making a fake person in your mind is some other shyt.
Not judgeing but they saying it's normal just because they did it.

I always saw this shyt on tv but ain never had one myself. As an only child I did have have to find my own fun which did involve maybe pretending I was Goku in my room or pretending I was the Rock jumping off my bed and shyt but as far as an actual friend, Na..​

at people in here thinking that kids having imaginary friends is a sign of mental illness.

I never had one, but I don't think having one makes you a schizophrenic or a psycho.

 

[Hungerpain]

Agreed.

I was -- and I was a child.

Wanting 16 year old boyfriends at 5 yrs old soo bad you create one in your mind ain't normal.
You probably sicker than you think you is.

Dumbest shyt I've heard in a while.

How so Genius?

I used to create that i was featured in kung fu movies, i created scenes and acted them out. fukking weird and hilarious thinking about it now.

 

[GreenGhxst]

I never had an imaginary friend but I remember when kids my age would say they had one and I knew they was lying.


Used to cut they asses off based off general principal


If you lying about a nikka being there that ain't even there no telling what you gone lie on me about

Especially considering I hopped out the play pen at an early age on some rugrats shyt

It's normal and actually very helpful and healthy for kids to jave imaginary friends even up til high school, I've read. They understand that their friend is imaginary but it actually helps them with communication skills and expressing themselves verbally. Its like how in The Sims, they learn charisma by talking to themselves in the mirror.

My lil cousin daughter just had a tea party with herself and it played out like a scene from Real housewives of Atlanta. Everyone else thought it was cute but I lowkey found it creepy because they say kids and animals can sense things we can't. What if she talking to redrum? It's all fun and games until she get sucked inside the TV like Carol Anne. Are imaginary friends normal? Did anyone have one and how old is too old to have one? She just turned 4

Its only a matter of time.....
