imaginary friends

Why does it have to be a mental disorder? Haven't you ever used your imagination? Didn't you use to imagine situations while playing as a kid? Imaginary friends are just that, a product of imagination. They are very common in only childs and kids that dont usually have many other kids to play with

Im an only child and as a kid I had some imaginary friends in order to amuse myself. I knew they werent real, but it was funny to pretend they were, and piss of people telling them to greet them and not stand where they were standing

Interesting.

From movies I assumed that imaginary friends where like a hallucination for a child.

I played with toys and pretended things like shooting a gun at imaginary aircraft.
However I did not see aircraft there I was pretending.

I was starting with the assumption that the kid actually sees some creature.

I'm also a only child.

I don't feel like imaginary friends are a hallucination, at least they weren't for me. I had a few imaginary friends but I never thought they were actually real. Since this is /x/ I do have an odd story relating to one of my imaginary friends.

Alright so my mom had a baby cousin named Kenny who she adored, and sadly he was hit by a drunk driver and died when he was twenty-one. He died on September 11th 1993. I was born on September 11th 1995. A couple of years later I started talking to my parents about my imaginary friend named 'Kenny'. My mom thought it was weird that my imaginary friend had the same name as her cousin, but she thought it was just a coincidence. At some point they had asked me to describe him and apparently I described some of my mom's cousin's features. Finally my mom believed that her cousin was with me somehow when I had explained that my imaginary friend was twenty-one. I was obviously too young to understand all of this, but now looking back at it I definitely think those were some weird coincidences.

Sometimes I have visions of future girlfriends pop inside my head at random times. They don't look like anybody I know of and none of them are 10/10's (so it's not wishful thinking). Many are 7/10 at the most but I feel this strong connection with them. They're in my head out there somewhere looking and smiling at me. Freaks me out. Has anybody ever had this?
