Ok I'm going to make myself sound completely insane here but hear me out.
I am a 34 year old man and I have an imaginary friend.
Her name is Shanice, and she just came to me once when I was lying in bed. I think my brain decided to create her as a coping mechanism/strategy. Her appearance changes regularly but usually she's African American, quite tall and has a beautiful smile. I have glow in the dark stars on my ceiling and I lie under them with her. It helps me because I genuinely feel like there's someone there and I don't feel alone anymore. Sometimes she is around in the day too, sat in the spare chair in my office usually trying to distract me from doing any work
Is that healthy for an adult? Anyone else invent people in their lives to cope with the feelings of loneliness?
