    Apparently when I was 2 or 3 I had an imaginary friend who lived in the palm of my hand. I always said he was my brother. (I don't have a brother)
    And I'd cry if anybody held my hand cause I thought they'd squish my "brother" :o
    What a freak of a child I was......


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 34,418 ✭✭✭✭hondasam


    Yes even went as far as imagining he married me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 936 ✭✭✭Hasmunch


    He tells me to burn stuff so im not allowed to play with him anymore


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,756 ✭✭✭InkSlinger67


    I did when I was a kid. I used to tell him to do strange things like stick a screwdriver in a plug socket and pull a boiling pot of water on his head.

    Good times!

    Awh that's adorable!

    I never had a good enough imagination to have one. That,and I had real friends.

    My problem is my multi personalities my imaginary friend doesn't get on with personality number 2 and 8 and keeps telling personality number 5 to kill them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 889 ✭✭✭Bajingo


    Apparently I used to talk an invisible monkey when I was small. Even the imaginary kids wouldn't talk to me.

    In before the people who say believing in God is the same thing as having an imaginary friend..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,061 ✭✭✭leggo


    No imaginary friend but I did have an imaginary football league for when the other kids were hanging out in the 'No Leggo's Club' (they already had one Leggo before I asked to join) and I had to play by myself.

    Sometimes I draw a face on my thumb & pretend I'm talking to Sean Gallagher.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,713 ✭✭✭✭Novella


    No, I never had an imaginary friend. I talked to Barbie dolls a lot though, when I was a child. My mam always teases me about it - says she just used to stand outside my room laughing her head off at the things I was saying. Cringe.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,137 ✭✭✭44leto


    I had a guardian angel:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,605 ✭✭✭Fizman

    I was just talking to Sandra. Apparently she doesn't want to be your friend anymore. She doesn't like you. She said she want's to hang out with me. Which is ok i suppose.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 3,571 ✭✭✭newmug


    I never know whether to find imaginary friends creepy or not:confused:

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,462 ✭✭✭✭WoollyRedHat


    I had an imaginary football team, I used three buggies when I was younger, two for posts, and one in the middle for the keeper... he was talented, should of gone further, bit of a push over though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,173 ✭✭✭lolli

    Shouldn't it have been the other way round? Usually it's the imaginary friend that ells the child to do things. Maybe you were the imaginary one!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 51,054 ✭✭✭✭Professey Chin


    I used to imagine any spider in the house was my friend


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 1,405 ✭✭✭NewFrockTuesday


    Yep. Geraldine was her name. And of course it was her who did all the bad stuff. I ratted her out every time!

    I had an imaginary friend called Edie.
    Every time my mam did anything to me (feed me/ dress me etc.) I used to make her do the same to Edie.
    Then one day she got annoyed with it all and shouted at me that there was noone there, and that was the end of Edie.... I miss her!!!!!

    Imaginary friend? no... imaginary country full of of people? yes.

    No, as far as I know, I'm surely real. Unless your computer is responding to your post *Scary*

    My imaginary mate was a builder who was my height. He eventually went away after melting on the ceiling for some reason. It was the most psychedelic experience of my life and I was only 7 years old (Still remember it vividly! :eek: )
