    Hmmm me and my twin had an imaginary triplet. I don’t know what he was upto now. Or how he was identical to us when we always called him him when we are not male, generally.

    I feel he’s doing well. He was our evil triplet, so this economy he should be doing great. Thriving and stuff.

    My girlfriend in high-school had an imaginary friend when she was a child. By the time we had met and got together he was in jail for murder I think. That was the end of the friendship.

      That’s…brutal. Are they okay? Did something happen to them? Or is that just what they decided should happen?

        I mean, the imaginary friends took their decisions and got their consequences. The (real) person is ok. I guess it was just a dramatic end to their √(-1) friends

    I didn’t have imaginary friends, but I did and still do have alters in my system which people assume are imaginary, does that count?

      I don’t think it counts, but it sounds fascinating. Does everyone get along? Is it a tiring experience, or is it just a natural process?

        Note : all systems are different.

        In my own personal experience its pretty tiring, especially when someone doesn’t go to bed on time or does something strenuous and others in my system not knowing. And it feels natural to use, thought everyone was like this tell we learned more about what d.i.d. is and then we been able to get better at communicating with each other and working things out. D.i.d. naturally is a disorder built around stealth and lots of people don’t know they have it because it’s made to protect the person.
