Do you have an imaginary friend? I tried to create a tulpa once. Because I’m a weird lonely...

I used to, not so much an imaginary friend but I imagined my toys were real, they had different personalities and I would tell them my secrets

MayaHope · 41-45, F

@SophieSmiles the imagination looks after us…

@MayaHope at times it’s the only safe place

Yes, he's bought a Fender Air Guitar like mine that he's brought to our jam sessions.
The Amp's giving us trouble though, we can't get no sound out of it.

Even so, I think our band has promise.

OOO! I totally forgot about imaginary friends. I need to make one.

@GuyWithOpinions skydaddy?

GuyWithOpinions · 31-35, M

@MasterLee he will be Baldwin Beardsley, a walmart cashier who collects buttons and knits with old ladys for the conversation.

Rambler · M

in a sense yes, but i think of them more as real people who i have not yet meant and perhaps never will

MayaHope · 41-45, F

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout well when I’m in the pool smiling at George Ezra, I figure he’s not there…

@MayaHope we are the music makers - Wonka

MayaHope · 41-45, F

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout I will eternally dance to the music that nobody likes

MayaHope · 41-45, F

@Ferric67 because our consciousness delivers what we need?

I had an imaginary pet Hippopotamus. Used to drive my folks crazy telling them they couldn't sit in the chair because my Hippopotamus was there.....
Then my Grandparents took me to a zoo. Somehow my pet Hippo disappeared after that. I don't remember any of it, but my family sure did.
I was probably 3 or 4.

ChipmunkErnie · 70-79, M

Nope -- it would make my teddy bears feel insecure.

Convivial · 26-30, F

We all have our ways of coping...

SarithBorn · 18-21, M

no strangely enough. 🤔

Repete · 61-69, M

Just because you can’t see or hear him how do you know he’s an imaginary friend? Oops I think I just made him mad at me, it’s supposed to be our secret. Ummm nope I don’t have one ,don’t know what you’re talking about. 🙃

DeWayfarer · 61-69, M

The memories of such ghosts still haunt like might-could-will have beens.

All that remains are the memories of voices within.

I’m fascinated by Tulpae, but I don’t have the patience or imagination to create one myself. The power of the mind is amazing!!

Elisbch · M

Last time i checked, all 56 of my personalities had imaginary friends! 🤷.
It's kind of hard to get them all together at once to ask... 🤪🤣😄

PoeticPlay · 51-55, M

Just because YOU don't see them, doesn't mean that they aren't there.

Elisbch · M

Of course, I can't imagine not having one. 🤷.... and... So have famous people..LOL 🤣

ravenhill · 46-50, M

no, i'm a loner now but had many friends in the past.

LordShadowfire · M

His name was Binker. He played board games with me.

Also, I have some experience creating tulpas. They were effective enough to have an impact on other people when unleashed.
