I used to have an imaginary friend called douglas who was orange with blue hair. one day we were watching a kid's program when the characters had an imaginary friend exactly like douglas *even the same name*. this caused an abrupt ending to our friendship as i thought he was cheating on me with other peoples imaginations...

I used to believe that all little kids had imaginary friends, and that since I didn't have one, I was abnormal. I tried to make one up for myself, and it was really hard because I didn't realize they came naturally instead of forced. I eventually came up with an imaginary twin for me named Isabella, and was exactly like me only with a (very poor) british accent. Needless to say, I got bored with her VERY soon.

Who needs them anyway?

I have an imaginary friend and her name is Sailor. Her birthday is the same as mine! She looks almost exactly like me! I made her up on 9/24/11. Her parents are deceased and her brother went off to imaginary college. His name is Echo. I have to go now because we are going to go play!

Ummm when I was around 6/7 my imaginary friends were Spiderman and X-Men & Superman, I remember when my cousins use to ask me a question I'd go behind the house and ask my friends and they always agreed. when spiderman 2 came out I was devastated coz I thought they were replacing my friend. When The guy who played Superman died I cried coz I felt like I lost a friend. I use to sit in my room for hours playing catch with them until I got bored coz they didn't feel like throwing back, lol

At the age of around 4, I had 3 imaginery friends, i never created them they just appeared and to they were real- at the time anyway because they werent what u would expect. One was a multi coloured pyjama jumpsuit, the jumpsuit or jumpsuit as i called him, would float around in the air, like someone was wearing it but there was no body, head etc he was a great friend. The others were baby and sooty, sooty from the kids program, he was my right hand man and baby, was a floating baby, i wasnt too keen on baby. When my older sister used to walk in the room and see me playing and talking to them, which to her was thin air she would run out scared and screaming. We had to move house and from that day on, when asked where my friends were, i would say theyve gone to scotland to be friends with someone else. Im 25 now and lookin back i guess i sort of miss them

When I was young i had an Imaginary friend called Lenny,although this is a boys name she was a girl. when my mum asked about Lenny i told her that her mummy and daddy died in a fire and that she had a dog that was black because it was burned, so she moved into my wardrobe. I also cried when i found out Lennie was a boys name, I used to take her to school and everything!

I once convinced my little brother that everyone has purple hippopotamus that only they can see and that if you don't have one, then it means you aren't a real person. He cried for hours because he couldn't find his purple hippo.

My imaginary friend was a man called Turner (no first name, just Turner) who came to live in my room because his ex-wife took his house after he cheated on her. He was a businessman but would always leave the house before my dad did because my dad always ignored him. He used to boss me around when I got home and tell me to do my homework. He was useful though, because he remembered things my conscious mind didn't. In the end he left to marry Cleopatra (the Egyptian queen, who I believed was still alive at this time).

When i was younger i had an imaginary friend called Bubbleinda and she was a pink elephant in a bubble! I used to bring her on holiday and my brother used to ask" where is Bubbleinda?" and i would simply reply "in the bath".

I used to believe that when i walked passed plants they would be waving at me, and if it was a good day even the tress would be saying Hello, i thought that i was a queen, i would even give them a wave back but maybe it was just the wind or maybe they just wanted to say hello.

So I'm the youngest in my family and when we were younger my sister and brother would play together but exclude me. So I made up an imaginary friend named Kathy at the time I was two. I started to tell everyone about Kathy who's mom was in jail, her brother named Dayeco (day-echo) drowned in dirty water, kathy lived in a swear at one point in her life and also she didn't have a dad because I didn't think she needed one. I also used to believe that I could "turn her off and on" so if I didn't feel like playing with her then she would just disappear and when I felt like playing with her then she would come out of the swear and play with me. I also used to believe that she lived in the swear close to my house. Lol I was a weird child with a huge imagination.

when i was 6 i got onto the computer and made a character. i went to sleep that night and when i woke up i saw him sleeping with me! he follow me all the way up until i was 10. then we argued about cake(LOL!) and he left.

then i created another one online and saw him in the bed next to me the next day. i am 11 now and he still followes me around. we chat and everything.

When I was a kid, I had a lot of different imaginary friends.
One was sorta like a million little people who where half an inch tall who would follow me around. Why a million? I think it was because whenever I asked them a problem, I would get an answer from the personality I wanted to hear from.
After that stage, I just started taking my favorite fictional characters. Whenever I saw a fictional character I liked, I would just add him/her on. And whenever I got bored with one, I just "sent them back home".
Even to this day, I can't help but do it a few times (I'm currently obsessed with this Anime and there's this really cute detective ; ) Hey, it's my life!)
