Love help: Imaginary boyfriend.

This post left anonymously

Imaginary boyfriend.

I am a teenage girl. I am very social. My circle of friends consists of boys and girls. I have dated boys, Ive been “liked” by boys. My thoughts are, to my knowledge, normal. I make rational decisions, know the difference between right and wrong, real and fantasy, etc. But there’s one thing about me, I have an imaginary boyfriend. This isn’t new. He has existed in my head since I was about 3 years old. Only, back then he of course was not my imaginary boyfriend. It was like he was a fake older brother. I’ve always called him James. He isn’t based off of anyone or anything. He is completely a frigment of my imagination. He has physical features that can not be matched to any real person,and he has friends, a family, and a girlfriend. I call her Brielle. I guess I sort of use her to portray me. But she is nothing like me. When I think about these characters, I don’t communicate with them. It’s like I’m their narrator. Maybe I should write a story. But it’s more than that, I have an emotional attachment to this boy. He isn’t perfect, he has flaws. And I know he isn’t real, but there’s a part of me that hopes he is a real boy that is somewhere else and has no idea that I literally control his whole life. I just wish I could make him real. He is my greatest wish.

I don’t see anything negative in this, the only problem you would have is with other real people, who don’t have imaginary friends.

Maybe it would help to bring them more to live in a short story or eventually a book.

Then they could become tangibly real.

What I mean is that Harry potter was an imaginary friend of that author, and it is more than acceptable to everyone.

What views has James on this.

Thank you for your replies, I took them into consideration. And to mintra thank you for the understanding. As much as I would like to write a story on this, I feel that it’s too common of a theme. Of course you, the replier doesn’t really know that since I gave vague details. But I would also like to stop thinking about all of it as much. I guess that’s the real problem. The times I think most about James and his world is when I am in the shower and when I am trying to fall asleep. Maybe that’s why I’m an insomniac ;).
