Blog Subject:  Imaginary friends

I am a 19 year old female, and I have multiple imaginary friends that I speak to on a daily basis. When I interact with them I am always one of them- never my actual self. Most of them are characters I have created that are based in the Marvel Universe. I love to pretend I am in this world, but it is (and has been for a long time) impacting my life. I prefer to be alone and with them instead of being with real people.

That's interesting. How long have you had these people that you imagine being? Do they take on different roles interacting with the real world about you?

From as far back as I can remember I have created another world to be in, but ever since I was 14 it mainly revolves around Marvel. I notice that as time goes on I create different characters to interact with.
