When I was younger, and first started going to school. I developed like an imaginary big brother type of imaginary friend. I think his name was Mike, and the idea was that he'd protect me. Probaly because I felt vunerable after this 1st grade teacher made me apologize to a bully at school, I slammed into a locker.
Also when I was younger I would think my stuffed animals were real. And that if they weren't all on my bed, or I didn't sleep with all of them, the ones I didn't sleep with would feel neglected.
