I've had imaginary friends since I can remember... probably since I was about four or so. My imaginary friends aren't people I make up. They're either characters from movies (that was the case when I was younger), or celebrities I like (that'd be now).

I still talk to them, and I'm soon to turn 23. When I'm alone, I talk to them. Sometimes just mouthing the words; when I'm home alone, I talk out loud. To an empty room. I know the room is empty. I do feel silly talking to an empty chair.

Essentially, I talk to them -- a la fake telepathy - can't be talking out loud all the time -- essentially throughout the entire day. They shadow me at work. They eat what I eat. They sleep when I sleep. They smoke when I smoke. You get the point.

I tell them stories about myself. It's kind of like mentally running through a speech or story you have to tell aloud, but you want to make sure it doesn't sound stupid, if that makes sense.

I have never really had real friends. I'm definitely a loner. Always have been.

There was a short time when I was about 18 or 19 when I broke myself of the habit. Then I got lonely and started again.
