Did You Have an Imaginary Friend as a Child?
Ask a Question
I did but only for a very short time, However my Brother had a little boy he would talk to every day for years- although we think he was more ghost than imaginary! when asked my brother said he was a little boy who got killed in the war and would describe jobs, the army and a whole different era! So did any of you have an imaginary friend?
Yes my imaginary friend was called Jennifer . Mum had to keep a seat for her at the table and she had to have a meal laid for her when I ate . ( though this wasn’t always complied with)
Jennifer was my scapegoat frienD who would always get the blame if I’d done something wrong . ‘ it wasn’t me - it was Jennifer !’
I cant remember when she stopped being around but she was there for some length of time ; listening to me and taking part in my imaginary games . I guess I wasnt a very friend because I blamed her for my misdemeanours but she was a good friend to me . She brightened my lonely childhood .
this sounds just like me thank you for sharing, my imaginary friend was called Jemima and she was very naughty lol
No... i always wanted one, but i wasnt creative enough to actually believe it / see it 
I feel like I maybe had an imaginary dog that I would stroke and cuddle though.... 
I remember pretneding i had one because other kids in my class had one, but i couldnt see a thing 
no i didn't, suppose i had enough real friends to never think of having an imaginary one
if Jemima ever did come back id never know as real lfe in my head is far too noisy these days
I dont think I had a imaginary friend lo term but I definitely used to do imagination games where I pretended to be talking to other people. Our imagination is such a wonderful thing!
i know isnt it just I always encourage our families little ones to enjoy it by being silly as far too soon for many its gone too soon
Yeah I did for a short while. My parent would make me stand at the door waiting to go somewhere while they rushed around to find all the things they needed. I would see this very odd wizard standing there. I was a little scared of him.
i didnt but my daughter did that was called jay she use to sit talkin to him/her for hours and playing games and having tea partys she started talking to him/her when she was around 4 years old and when i first heard my daughter i asked her who is jay and she said its my friend and i said and where is your freind she said her were playing my daughter was a only child so im not sure if this is maybe why jay fizzled out when shes reached about 7 years old and when i tell her now about the things they use to talk about and play she has no idea what im talking about she dosnt remember
