Well actually... definitions are dependent on context, so because of the context of them recounting a story, what they likely meant by, "... not making this up." was not that their mind had not conjured such illusions (depicted as such in the story), but that the recount of the illusions itself is not a farce. ☝🤓
Part of it might be that parents can go along with it and, upon outgrowing their friend, the kid doesn't want to be cruel and dismissive by simply saying "They're not real." So instead a death or falling out is conjured to explain why the imaginary friend is no longer around.
Yeah, what's that all about anyway I would never ever do that to mine were all best of friends me and my imaginary friends I still have them all too they all go off on fun vacations off to Disneyland or Disney World or traveling to other places of the world just for fun.
4:56 Um... So, Ushi is Japanese for cow, and there's a Japanese yokai that sounds like that thing he described. It's called Ushi-oni, lives in coastal areas, and is typically cruel and eats humans. So, yeah. OPs imaginary friend is a Japanese monster.
Wait, that's the spider with the bull's head, right? Oh dear god, that's terrifying to think about. Though, maybe that OP is a Yo-Kai if he's seeing that beast. (Don't mind me, my inner Yo-Kai Watch fan side is kinda geeking out here.)

I had an imaginary friend who was a plain black shadow. it turns out he was a recurring hallucination n I am now diagnosed with schizo effective depressive disorder.
i had an imaginary pet iguana, except i genuinely believed it was real. i swore it lived under a log with a hole in it in the forest near my house and i used to pretend i went out to play with it. went back years later and looked under the log. it was a bit of styrofoam. i must have thought the texture looked like scales
I also had an imaginary pet: it was a cat named Grape. in kindergarten, I told my teacher about it who then brought it up with my parents. this probably confused them because we didn't have a cat; they told her which probably confused her. edit: first off, my parents have said that there were a lot of other imaginary pets, but Grape's pretty much the only one I remember. second off, thanks for all the likes: this is, like, the most likes I've ever gotten on a comment. thanks :D
this shit makes me laugh the most. i never had an imaginary friend (but I was obsessed with a sonic the hedgehog plush that I STILL have so there's that) but I can not imagine the intentional creation of a mental buddy and then you're just -not friends-

When I was 2-7 I had an imaginary friend called Sally the Wolf (pretty bog-standard arctic fox) and I’d play with her all the time, and then tell my parents I’d been playing with her all the time. However I failed to tel them who Sally was, they just assumed she was a friend from nursery. This was fine until my parents came over to my nursery for one of those parent day things and they asked my teacher “so who’s this Sally our kid is always playing with?”. And my teacher told them “uuuh, we don’t have any kids here called Sally.” For years they were convinced I was seeing the ghost of my dead grandma.
@@theresahaironthescreen wait do you mean the sonic one? I remember seeing a video on that (SOME) Sonic fans are I think some of the most deranged people I’ve met
Not me but my sister had an imaginary friend, don't remember his name but he was.. purple. Like, that was his thing, his skin was purple, clothes were purple, the guy was purple. She would occasionally reserve seats for him in the car, at the dining table, and on the couch, but the weirdest part was that she had her own made-up language with him. She would "talk" to her imaginary purple guy (before FNAF existed) in complete gibberish, no coherent words spoken, and we'd ask her "what was that?" And she would tell us we "didn't get it."
I had an imaginary friend named "Vex". I came up with the name while in class in kindergarten, and he was a merman with stars for nipples, (took inspiration from Ariel from The Little Mermaid) and he had bright pink hair and we were "dating". Then one day I threw him into the river by my house.
When I was first learning how to tie my shoes I came up with an imaginary friend called "Tyo" and the sole thing that made him special (apart from the fact that he looked like McDonald's Grimace but with one giant eye and only two arms, a design I came up with without ever knowing about Grimace) was that he knew how to tie his shoes. I also vaguely rember the existence of one called "Doctor Pins and Needles" who knew how to cure pins and needles but wouldn't tell me (don't know what he looked like tho). I'm pretty sure there was at least one more but that's all I got
I was so unimaginative my imaginary friends were just cartoon characters I saw on TV, I'm envious of all the other little kids that had actual fun imaginary friends

Mine was a plate-armored knight named Mr. Business Man, and he refused to be called by anything except “Mister Man”. By plate armored I mean his armor consisted of various pieces of crockery and dinnerware. Whenever He was angry he emitted a tea kettle shriek that took the form of whatever song I had most recently heard and danced to the tune until he calmed down enough to stop dancing. One day he showed up wearing a Coast Guard uniform and told me that I was ready to be king of Spain and that another little boy needed business advice. Then he donned a Tricorne hat, wished me luck, sprinted into a tree and turned Into a can of baked beans with the Pepsi logo on it. Edit: further context. Never saw his face. But one time he took off his breastplate and if my memory is right, he was made of a collection of shopping bags newspaper clippings and chunks of rebar underneath the armor. His voice was generally kind of odd, more a mixture of bubbling water, rustling leaves and that sound the two ovular magnet things make when you clack them together. Really hard to explain the nuances of it but I had the distinct impression that he had an aggressively Eastern European accent. Only spoke on Sundays. Never could get him to explain why. Fun guy all around.
I had an imaginary friend when I was 8 years old. Her name was Jenny and she was a golden retriever. I remember that she wore cat hoodies all the time and was the "girlfriend" of my existing dog. Her story was that she lived next door to the house I lived in at the time, but moved to London to pursue her career as a botanist. I kept in touch with her by "calling" her on my father's old phone and she would tell me and my existing dog about how life in London was and how her career was going. One day when I called her, she told me about her plans to assassinate the queen of England and I have never heard from her since.

my imaginary friend was boring, i have a cat beanie baby ive been obsessed with since before i can remember and i just imagined her talking to me and obviously i carried her everywhere with me (i still do, in my bag i carry everyday). she was very friendly and motherly and supportive. i turned her into an OC when i was like 7 and i still have her in some of my stories. i dont think i ever believed she was real though
Her official name is Chip, by the way, in case you were wondering or you forgot. I wish I had her. I did, however, have a calico cat made by Ty, but she was a Beanie Buddy, which were bigger and stuffed with regular cotton. Her name was Chiko, which sounds strange for a girl’s name, and she wore a pale yellow ribbon around her neck. Her fur was very downy and soft, too. I still have her along with all my other stuffed animals, so back in 2020, when I got my two actual cats, I decided to show her to one of them. He didn’t take too kindly to her, so he just shoved her out of his way!
6:00 Michael Jackson and Prince Eric are basically the exact same as my sister’s “Bert” Bert was her abusive ex-boyfriend who would call her on her “phone” (her hand) and say things that would get a reaction like “BERT! you can’t do that!” She would talk about how she dumped him and got a husband (I forget his name.) She was about 4 or 5 at the time 💀
I was a lonely child and had many imaginary friends. I still miss my lovely, sweet dragon named Puffle who one day told me he had to leave and couldn’t return. I handled it very maturely but internally I was devastated when he took off and flew into the horizon. I had many other dragons, but I think he was the first. I hope he’s doing well, wherever he is.
I had an imaginary friend called Zoma. She was a ginger dark-skinned little girl who originally came from mirror world Africa but was adopted to mirror world Finland where I live. Mirror people wasn't allowed to be on my side of the mirror, so Zoma could only jump true reflective surfaces to my side if no other mirror people were watching. Somone else's reflection could be a mirror person that might see her breaking their law. And so, to make sure Zoma didn't get caught playing with me I always had to be alone when she jumped over from a reflective surface to my side. I was terrified of ghost and practically skeletons when I was little. The fact that I apparently was best friends with bloody marry back then, I didn't even find remotely questionable or creepy as a child. Also, there's a horror game with almost the same name as her now.
Kids' concepts of "creepy" are different from adults'. Everything that's your friend is your friend. Everything that wants to hurt you is obviously scary. Also, I don't remember seeing any comments saying "I'm from Finland" before about a year ago. Now for some reason I've seen way more.
When I first went to the hospital, I named the iv stand I had to take with me everywhere. I gave it this long and complex name that I hardly remember. I suppose I was like 'whelp I'm stuck with you, guess we have to be friends!' and I recall really missing him when I left the hospital. I was nine or so.
I had an imaginary friend when I was 7 that was named “Boris” and he was a FNAF animatronic donkey that was pink (I played a lot of FNAF back then), I remember believing that Boris would banish me to the electric chair if I didn’t make my parents angry.
My sister's friend was a girl, mine was a horse. Her friend told her to harm us, she whispered about it in the basement of our appartmentcomplex. Dad made her end the friendship, with drawings, a whole goodbye-ceremony, as far as I recall.
Not sure if this is an imaginary friend but many years ago I once befriended a trash bin and he would talk to me💀💀(the same way how puppeteers make their puppets talk, but for me I just open and close the bin to make it talk, idk what was going on in my young brain💀)
My imaginary friend when I was younger was an 8 foot tall cheese sandwich I named Jeff, you know maybe my parents shoulda known I was schizophrenic sooner 😭 I miss Jeff every day
My imaginary friend was Marianna (pronounced Meer-ee-ana). She filled the role of that person that ran alongside your car when your parents drove, and she came with me to every restaurant dinner we had. I think my parents were sick of me saving a seat for her at every meal. So anyway, now that I’m an author I have characters living in my head, so I guess you could say I never really grew out of it.
Ohh we also had imaginary friends running beside the car w my brother; a tiny gradpa and a tiny grandma but they were on a leash jumping obstacles and parkouring on the railings etc.
"She filled the role of that person that ran alongside your car when your parents drove" Man, I always thought I was the only one who did that, until I read about it in a Jack Kerouac novel which took place in his childhood. This is the second time I've seen someone else talk about it.
I don't remember having an imaginary friend named Christina, but my mom remembers all of my complaints about Christina's behavior. Such as, "Mom, Christina made all of my Barbies NAKED and put them in a pile in the closet with the Army Men!" Once, I made a mud pie for my parents with bright red berries that Christina had insisted we pick and add to the recipe, turns out they were poisonous. My mom heard Madonna's single "Like a Virgin" (forbidden in my house, but which I thought was about olive oil) playing in my room, and, you guessed it - it wasn't me, it was just that it was Christina's favorite song. She was Italian and just really loved pasta. One day my mom heard me shouting, "CHRISTINA! STOP THAT! We do NOT touch the dog in the BUTTHOLE!" I was quite angry. This was apparently this was the breaking point for our friendship. My mom asked me why Christina hadn't been around lately and I said she had some personal problems and had gone to live with her grandparents in Queens. (I grew up in Arizona and hadn't been to New York, so that detail was a bit weird.) To this day, I end friendships IMMEDIATELY with anyone who touches dogs' buttholes. That shit is NOT okay.
I once had an imaginary pet who would do normal pet things like eat treats, take naps, beg for food ect, one night imaginary pet and I were going to sleep and it leaned over and spoke in the voice of a 6 year old girl "good night ____" it never spoke again
I think it had to do with the family Pokémon obsession, but I had an Imaginary friend named Aquablu which was basically just an off-brand blue Oshawott-Vaporeon fusion thing.
I had one named Freddy that drove me to McDonald’s and picture this: I was having a sleepover with my uncle and my brother- it was the middle of the night and I said (mind you, I was 5/6) “Freddy’s Taking Us To Macdonalds!” In My Sleep. (My uncle was scared of things like that)
My uncle and my brother can mean two things, that both your brother and your uncle were there. Or that your brother and your uncle are the same person. Are you perhaps from Alabama, because that would explain everything.
I had a whole host of imaginary friends. Mostly fairies and pixies and whatever. My weirdest imaginary friend, however, was a rather cute monstrosity named Cagidielmo (Ka-jee-dye-ell-mo). He had the head of a cat, the neck of a giraffe, the body of a dinosaur (specifically a brontosaurus), the feet of an elephant, and the tail of a monkey. He was extremely chill.
I had an imaginary friend called “Mr. shadows” he was basically a tall black silhouette of a man (horror movie kid vibes I know). But he was fairly nice. He ate spiders, didn’t talk much, and was the guy I’d imagine doing parkour out the window when I was in the car.
I had two imaginary dogs. It all started when I jokingly used “pet’s name” as a security question on some website knowing full well I’d never had a pet. So I made one up. I named my imaginary dogs Butt Cheeks (butty for short) and Sergeant Soft Tail (pronounced thergeant thoft tail because I had just gotten braces and had a lisp). As time when on, I promoted Sergeant Soft Tail through the ranks. One was a labradoodle and the other a Jack Russell but I don’t remember which was which.
Mine was a black cat who walked on two legs, named Mr. Kitty, and he was friends with my real cat, named Mrs. Kitty. (R.I.P) Oh and also there was Pedro i guess. Pedro the plant.
I had an imaginary husband named Kevin, he was a six foot tall orange penguin whose catchphrase was (in a deep voice) “BE NICE.” We had a number of children, who were all penguins. Only one of them was adopted. I grew out of Kevin gradually. Years later, I realized I hadn’t seen him in a while, and tried to interact with him again. But the magic was gone, and it just wasn’t the same. I pleaded for him to stay, but the last I saw of him, he was driving away through a traffic light in a pickup truck. So I guess it canonically ended with us getting divorced???
oh my god. i also had an imaginary husband named kevin. we met at an aquarium when i got my plunger stuck on his head. (long story.) kevin was a bum actually
My imaginary friend was literally just a tiny version of Markiplier. He would sit on my shoulder and do commentaries of what I was currently doing. I was in the sixth grade when this happened lol.
I've never had an imaginary friend but I can imagine the painful feeling of no longer sharing moments with your beloved Tony Rygel. May he rest in peace 🕊️.
When I was somewhere between 2-5, I apparently had an imaginary friend called “My Real Baby Puppy” who I have no memories of whatsoever but when I try to imagine her, I imagine just a cartoony puppy with each limb colored a random neon color. Now that I think about it, I probably came up with her cuz of one of my dog themed coloring books. Of course there was also my imaginary demons as I call them. These imaginary demons were “Nemo” (he was huge, he floated, and he would always say: “I’m gonna find you”), another was an unnamed dark figure who would just look at me. Lastly, there was who I call “The Ankle-biter” (I think I used to have a name for her but I don’t remember it), she had a white and gray color palette, she was rlly short like a human toddler, and she had sharp teeth. She lived under my blankets and would try to bite my feet/legs. *Edit:* 3 weeks later I js remembered another one!!! I had an imaginary group of the evil gremlins from the gremlin movie that lived in the bathtub. I forgot how long they were there for but I eventually befriended and made peace with them and they disappeared.
I apparently had an imaginary horse called Clip-Clop when I was really really young, and my mum would have to tie him to the tow-bar of the car before we went anywhere. Anyway apparently one day my undiagnosed autistic ass had a meltdown because mum ran over Clip-Clop and killed him. I don’t remember that, I think I was too young. I do remember, however, I had two imaginary friends when I was in primary school. Their names were Annabel and Elisha. Annabel was French and did ballet, and Elisha was Japanese and did karate (nice stereotypes young me). My favourite games to play with them were “ballerina” where I’d pretend we were ballerinas in a ballet production, “ninjas”, where I’d pretend we were good ninjas who had to fight off evil ninjas, and “angels vs. demons”, because I was a small Christian child, where we became angels and we had to fight demons to protect heaven, using the power of music. One of us played the golden harp, one played the golden flute, and one sang with an angelic voice to fight off the evil demons. Then the Queen of the angels would thank us for our help and we’d head home. Honestly I’d love to write a book about them.
When I was a child I could never sleep because of the caterpillar who lived under my bed. Every night he would throw parties so loudly that I couldn’t sleep.
not really an imaginary friend, but i've been seeing this one guy in my dreams since i was a little kid. he looks like a normal guy, he has dirty blonde hair and wears green flannel and blue jeans. a few years ago i started seeing him in real life for some reason, like he'd just be staring at me from the corners of rooms sometimes. i always called him jordan. not sure why, but i just knew deep down that that was his name. well one day i was talking to my dad and somehow we got to talking about his uncle danny, who i had never met before. he showed me a picture of him, and to my utter shock and horror, he looked almost exactly like jordan. his uncle died 8 years before i was born.
Woah. That reminded me of an old friend who also ad an imaginary friend called Jordan. He was also blonde, and ad three friends that i don't remember the names of.
I had loads of imaginary friends as a kid, and I will never forgive myself for forgetting their names, but they were all very important to me. The one I remember best is this little boy with kind of haunting silver-blue eyes that were actually brown He had pale-fair skin, brown to dark brown mid-length hair with little glints of gold in the sunlight, and this young face that feels old to me but was very young on him. He wore plain but colorful t-shirts and varying types of bottoms depending. I really liked him.
I had loads too but I remember their names since most of them were existing characters - Alex the Noob: you had to watch the series to understand - Victoria Vex: just a Minecraft vex that was chill - Blazicken: don’t think I spelled that right but I told everyone he was my older brother - Torchic: just a Torchic that survived being flushed down the toilet and would have nightmares that introduced new imaginary friends (idk) - Mewtwo: I remember nothing about him just that he was a Mewtwo - Cozy Glow: she was the Pokémon Bisharp but she was also a Pharoh later in the “imaginary friend lore” and she was purple and a rook instead of a Bishop - Luke: a Lucario that lived in one of the pyramids in Egypt (I had an Egypt phase) and had two cats but all I remember was that one of them was a mummy cat - Rainbow: The Tarr from Slime Rancher (existed before Victoria Vex) he was nice but he still ate slimes and I remember my cousin had one named Rainbow that was just a rainbow Darkrai: don’t remember what he did but he sure was there (I remember I could even become him somehow)
@@DefNotEnder, Mine were all just random people with typical names, honestly, but those sound cool! I keep thinking the main one of mine’s name was Arry, but I know that’s not it because he just looked like a kid I knew named Arry and I kept thinking “No, that’s not him, his name was different”
I had imaginary friends called Nimnii. There were mutliple variations of them. Some nimniis were giirs, and some were dimniis. They were like little fairies that resemble the pokemon Milotic, very small, and at their thinnest point, the thickness of a hair. They were remarkably stupid, and just absolutely chaotic. They wouldn't talk, except to say their name (or their variant name) in a very cute high pitched voice (you can see I was introduced to pokemon very early as a kid). I was obsessed with nimniis
The earliest one I remember having was the Geico lizard and he lived in my brain which was a white room which was my brain. In that room he could monitor memories and lock bad ones in some metal vault with chains in the corner of my mind. I wonder if he’s still in there… deep down Anyways whenever I think of this I automatically think of the “I like your funny words magic man” meme, that’s probably all little me thought when seeing those commercials, and maybe also “yeah he’s smart, he should be in charge of my brain”
DUDE. YOU HAD THE WHITE ROOM THING TOO??? When I was in elementary school paul hollywood would randomly pop up in there and I'd beat the shit out of him for some reason (I am now diagnosed with 5 mental disorders)
@@pooferfloofer I now have many worlds that represent my brain and various parts of me, but also still kinda have “imaginary friends” who are just my characters but I talk to them. One of them helped me significantly through a few years of extreme depression…! Sometimes ya just gotta work with what you got, and sometimes it starts as an empty white room with a talking lizard
You know when people would cheer defense at sport events? Well, my imaginary friend was the guy they were cheering for. His name was Defense, and he lived on the moon.
I had an imaginary friend called "Rosey", this is her backstory... One night, when I was five, I saw the clear form of a shadow-like cat on the end of my bed, It ran off from my bed and chased the "cat" where it quickly vanished down the drain of the sink. At the time mistook it for a black kitten we had rescued and later gave away, hence the name. I would hallucinate shadow people at night and experienced excruciating night terrors, so with my childlike reasoning, I assumed she must have been a woman who could shapeshift into a cat. As I'm typing this, I realise I was a severely deranged child. It doesn't help that I imagined her as a lithe woman with alabaster skin, vibrant scarlet hair and black - or red - eyes. I would eagerly await her arrival and tell my parents that she would - "visit me tonight" because of black scuff marks on the walls. ?????
When I was four, I had an imaginary friend named "Ring". She looked remarkably like my younger sister, who wouldn't be born until four years later when I was eight, except she had rainbow hair and a gold necklace. Even more remarkably I never told my sister about Ring until she made a self-insert OC with rainbow hair and a gold necklace. To this day I can't explain it other than as a ridiculous coincidence. Because any other alternative is too existentially terrifying for me to entertain...
I could be way off base here, but it sounds really wholesome to think that your little sister may have decided to join your family and hang out with you before she was born.
My imaginary friend also spoke some other language i made up but couldn't understand. His name was frank and he looked like a packman ghost with little stick legs. He had a dog shaped like a basketball. He drove off on his motorcycle and i never saw him again
I had a whole collection of them. A whole neighborhood of friends who lived in my yard. I kept them up till i was like 14 and started getting out more... in retrospect, I think i was lonely 💀
4:30 If I had a nickel for every time someone said that "chin-chin" meant penis in Japanese in a Matt Rose video, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice, right?
Chin-chin is also a French variant of "cheers" (meant to emulate the sound of glasses clinking together); drinking with French and Japanese people in Japan was always a riot.
Do stuffed animals count as imaginary friends? If so, my imaginary friends were a Winnie the Pooh rug I've had since birth called Thomas (named after a certain blue locomotive you may know) and a golden retriever toy called Lollipop, named such because I got him at like 5 years old from the school crossing guard, or as I called her, the lollipop lady because the stop sign used to halt traffic so people can cross looked like a giant lollipop to 5 year old me. Still have these two to this very day, they're sentimental to me and have gone from imaginary friends to mementos of my childhood.
If so, I still have mind, although I don't believe he's ACTUALLY alive anymore. He still makes me feel safe though. He is a tiny polar bear plushie that my grandpa gave me when I was little. I always sleep with it in bed and even when I was "way too old" for plushies, I lost him and felt bad for vey long. Then I got him back on my birthday because grandpa and grandma found him (he was stuck between the bed and the wall when I slept over). I decided to just keep him at home at all times. I can sleep without him, but I prefer not to. I just don't wanna risk losing him again
Me and my sister shared an imaginary friend. He was our imaginary brother named Jimmy (cuz we don’t have any actual brothers). My sister would call him a bitch but I thought he was a total homie. We were also in a band with him and apparently Jimmy could rap really good.
I has an imaginary family, I had two children named Emily and George, and a wife named Annie, I remember shopping at the dollar store and accidentally telling the cashier about my “wife” I never spoke of it again.
@@catsungdae I was probably 4 or 5 😆 The cashier thought it was so funny but my toddler brain thought she was laughing at me, not with my mother who was hysterical 😭
I used to have these things called sinner babies. They kinda looked like cherubs and they had big white wings and diapers. They lived inside ceiling fans and hid in trash and when spotted by a human. Oh! And if they are blueberries, they would explode. But strawberries were fine. I originally wanted them to explode by eating strawberries but then remembered, I like strawberries but am not a fan of blueberries. So therefore blueberries are deadly to sinner babies. I would talk about these all the time when I was younger. I was a maniac
My brother had an imaginary friend when he was like 4 named Marne and he was a friendly ghost that lived in an air vent in the kitchen, supposedly with systems of tunnels that he traveled through. He also was terrified of the patterns on the wood-paneled walls, and called them the loader doter loaders. Apparently, there were many different loader doter loaders: the Elephano, cup stealing fly, motorcycle max, and scariest of all, the yum yum yum monster.
my imaginary friend was "mr smiles" a very nice bunny-man-hyena-thing, he always smiled and i don't quite remember exactly what he looked like but he enjoyed hiding under my brothers bed (we had a bunk bed) and i would check on him every night but when i turned 10, we moved and i got a bed on the ground and mr smiles was gone
Me and my group of friends had another group of imaginary friends. Some highlights included Mr. Wind, Mama Triangle, and the Sand Child. Anytime anything went wrong, we'd blame Mr wind. Mr. Wind was married to Mama Triangle, who was some kind of protector figure if I remember correctly. The sand child was an environmentalist who would hide in the sand and grab tourist's ankles. They had some deep lore, but I've forgotten most of it
My imaginary friend was Victoria Vex, she was a vex from Minecraft (before they looked like allays) and in creative mode I built a castle with my mom using a block-for-block tutorial (I don’t use these anymore btw) and I spawned a bunch of vexes outside the castle and when my mom found out I told her “Victoria and her friends are here!” And I just forgot about her when I was around 7

i had an imaginary pet iguana, except i genuinely believed it was real. i swore it lived under a log with a hole in it in the forest near my house and i used to pretend i went out to play with it. went back years later and looked under the log. it was a bit of styrofoam. i must have thought the texture looked like scales
You should never meet your heroes
I also had an imaginary pet: it was a cat named Grape. in kindergarten, I told my teacher about it who then brought it up with my parents. this probably confused them because we didn't have a cat; they told her which probably confused her.
edit: first off, my parents have said that there were a lot of other imaginary pets, but Grape's pretty much the only one I remember. second off, thanks for all the likes: this is, like, the most likes I've ever gotten on a comment. thanks :D

When I was 2-7 I had an imaginary friend called Sally the Wolf (pretty bog-standard arctic fox) and I’d play with her all the time, and then tell my parents I’d been playing with her all the time.
However I failed to tel them who Sally was, they just assumed she was a friend from nursery. This was fine until my parents came over to my nursery for one of those parent day things and they asked my teacher “so who’s this Sally our kid is always playing with?”. And my teacher told them “uuuh, we don’t have any kids here called Sally.”
For years they were convinced I was seeing the ghost of my dead grandma.

Not me but my sister had an imaginary friend, don't remember his name but he was.. purple. Like, that was his thing, his skin was purple, clothes were purple, the guy was purple. She would occasionally reserve seats for him in the car, at the dining table, and on the couch, but the weirdest part was that she had her own made-up language with him. She would "talk" to her imaginary purple guy (before FNAF existed) in complete gibberish, no coherent words spoken, and we'd ask her "what was that?" And she would tell us we "didn't get it."

I had an imaginary friend named "Vex". I came up with the name while in class in kindergarten, and he was a merman with stars for nipples, (took inspiration from Ariel from The Little Mermaid) and he had bright pink hair and we were "dating". Then one day I threw him into the river by my house.
Did he survive? Could he adapt to the lack of salt?
Relationship goals
When I was first learning how to tie my shoes I came up with an imaginary friend called "Tyo" and the sole thing that made him special (apart from the fact that he looked like McDonald's Grimace but with one giant eye and only two arms, a design I came up with without ever knowing about Grimace) was that he knew how to tie his shoes. I also vaguely rember the existence of one called "Doctor Pins and Needles" who knew how to cure pins and needles but wouldn't tell me (don't know what he looked like tho). I'm pretty sure there was at least one more but that's all I got
So, could he breathe underwater or was he an air-breather?

Mine was a plate-armored knight named Mr. Business Man, and he refused to be called by anything except “Mister Man”. By plate armored I mean his armor consisted of various pieces of crockery and dinnerware. Whenever He was angry he emitted a tea kettle shriek that took the form of whatever song I had most recently heard and danced to the tune until he calmed down enough to stop dancing. One day he showed up wearing a Coast Guard uniform and told me that I was ready to be king of Spain and that another little boy needed business advice. Then he donned a Tricorne hat, wished me luck, sprinted into a tree and turned Into a can of baked beans with the Pepsi logo on it.
Edit: further context. Never saw his face. But one time he took off his breastplate and if my memory is right, he was made of a collection of shopping bags newspaper clippings and chunks of rebar underneath the armor. His voice was generally kind of odd, more a mixture of bubbling water, rustling leaves and that sound the two ovular magnet things make when you clack them together. Really hard to explain the nuances of it but I had the distinct impression that he had an aggressively Eastern European accent. Only spoke on Sundays. Never could get him to explain why. Fun guy all around.

Her story was that she lived next door to the house I lived in at the time, but moved to London to pursue her career as a botanist. I kept in touch with her by "calling" her on my father's old phone and she would tell me and my existing dog about how life in London was and how her career was going. One day when I called her, she told me about her plans to assassinate the queen of England and I have never heard from her since.

my imaginary friend was boring, i have a cat beanie baby ive been obsessed with since before i can remember and i just imagined her talking to me and obviously i carried her everywhere with me (i still do, in my bag i carry everyday). she was very friendly and motherly and supportive. i turned her into an OC when i was like 7 and i still have her in some of my stories. i dont think i ever believed she was real though
Her official name is Chip, by the way, in case you were wondering or you forgot. I wish I had her. I did, however, have a calico cat made by Ty, but she was a Beanie Buddy, which were bigger and stuffed with regular cotton. Her name was Chiko, which sounds strange for a girl’s name, and she wore a pale yellow ribbon around her neck. Her fur was very downy and soft, too. I still have her along with all my other stuffed animals, so back in 2020, when I got my two actual cats, I decided to show her to one of them. He didn’t take too kindly to her, so he just shoved her out of his way!

I was a lonely child and had many imaginary friends. I still miss my lovely, sweet dragon named Puffle who one day told me he had to leave and couldn’t return. I handled it very maturely but internally I was devastated when he took off and flew into the horizon. I had many other dragons, but I think he was the first. I hope he’s doing well, wherever he is.
I had an imaginary friend called Zoma. She was a ginger dark-skinned little girl who originally came from mirror world Africa but was adopted to mirror world Finland where I live.
Mirror people wasn't allowed to be on my side of the mirror, so Zoma could only jump true reflective surfaces to my side if no other mirror people were watching. Somone else's reflection could be a mirror person that might see her breaking their law. And so, to make sure Zoma didn't get caught playing with me I always had to be alone when she jumped over from a reflective surface to my side.
I was terrified of ghost and practically skeletons when I was little. The fact that I apparently was best friends with bloody marry back then, I didn't even find remotely questionable or creepy as a child.
Also, there's a horror game with almost the same name as her now.

Kids' concepts of "creepy" are different from adults'. Everything that's your friend is your friend. Everything that wants to hurt you is obviously scary.

Once, I made a mud pie for my parents with bright red berries that Christina had insisted we pick and add to the recipe, turns out they were poisonous. My mom heard Madonna's single "Like a Virgin" (forbidden in my house, but which I thought was about olive oil) playing in my room, and, you guessed it - it wasn't me, it was just that it was Christina's favorite song. She was Italian and just really loved pasta. One day my mom heard me shouting, "CHRISTINA! STOP THAT! We do NOT touch the dog in the BUTTHOLE!" I was quite angry. This was apparently this was the breaking point for our friendship. My mom asked me why Christina hadn't been around lately and I said she had some personal problems and had gone to live with her grandparents in Queens.

My favourite games to play with them were “ballerina” where I’d pretend we were ballerinas in a ballet production, “ninjas”, where I’d pretend we were good ninjas who had to fight off evil ninjas, and “angels vs. demons”, because I was a small Christian child, where we became angels and we had to fight demons to protect heaven, using the power of music. One of us played the golden harp, one played the golden flute, and one sang with an angelic voice to fight off the evil demons. Then the Queen of the angels would thank us for our help and we’d head home.

not really an imaginary friend, but i've been seeing this one guy in my dreams since i was a little kid. he looks like a normal guy, he has dirty blonde hair and wears green flannel and blue jeans. a few years ago i started seeing him in real life for some reason, like he'd just be staring at me from the corners of rooms sometimes. i always called him jordan. not sure why, but i just knew deep down that that was his name.
well one day i was talking to my dad and somehow we got to talking about his uncle danny, who i had never met before. he showed me a picture of him, and to my utter shock and horror, he looked almost exactly like jordan.
his uncle died 8 years before i was born.
Woah. That reminded me of an old friend who also ad an imaginary friend called Jordan. He was also blonde, and ad three friends that i don't remember the names of.
I had loads of imaginary friends as a kid, and I will never forgive myself for forgetting their names, but they were all very important to me. The one I remember best is this little boy with kind of haunting silver-blue eyes that were actually brown
He had pale-fair skin, brown to dark brown mid-length hair with little glints of gold in the sunlight, and this young face that feels old to me but was very young on him. He wore plain but colorful t-shirts and varying types of bottoms depending. I really liked him.
I had loads too but I remember their names since most of them were existing characters
- Alex the Noob: you had to watch the series to understand
- Victoria Vex: just a Minecraft vex that was chill
- Blazicken: don’t think I spelled that right but I told everyone he was my older brother
- Torchic: just a Torchic that survived being flushed down the toilet and would have nightmares that introduced new imaginary friends (idk)
- Mewtwo: I remember nothing about him just that he was a Mewtwo
- Cozy Glow: she was the Pokémon Bisharp but she was also a Pharoh later in the “imaginary friend lore” and she was purple and a rook instead of a Bishop
- Luke: a Lucario that lived in one of the pyramids in Egypt (I had an Egypt phase) and had two cats but all I remember was that one of them was a mummy cat
- Rainbow: The Tarr from Slime Rancher (existed before Victoria Vex) he was nice but he still ate slimes and I remember my cousin had one named Rainbow that was just a rainbow
Darkrai: don’t remember what he did but he sure was there (I remember I could even become him somehow)
@@DefNotEnder, Mine were all just random people with typical names, honestly, but those sound cool! I keep thinking the main one of mine’s name was Arry, but I know that’s not it because he just looked like a kid I knew named Arry and I kept thinking “No, that’s not him, his name was different”

I had imaginary friends called Nimnii. There were mutliple variations of them. Some nimniis were giirs, and some were dimniis. They were like little fairies that resemble the pokemon Milotic, very small, and at their thinnest point, the thickness of a hair. They were remarkably stupid, and just absolutely chaotic. They wouldn't talk, except to say their name (or their variant name) in a very cute high pitched voice (you can see I was introduced to pokemon very early as a kid). I was obsessed with nimniis
The earliest one I remember having was the Geico lizard and he lived in my brain which was a white room which was my brain. In that room he could monitor memories and lock bad ones in some metal vault with chains in the corner of my mind. I wonder if he’s still in there… deep down
Anyways whenever I think of this I automatically think of the “I like your funny words magic man” meme, that’s probably all little me thought when seeing those commercials, and maybe also “yeah he’s smart, he should be in charge of my brain”
Nah dudes too smart to understand the weird shit that happens in a five year old's brain
DUDE. YOU HAD THE WHITE ROOM THING TOO??? When I was in elementary school paul hollywood would randomly pop up in there and I'd beat the shit out of him for some reason (I am now diagnosed with 5 mental disorders)
@@pooferfloofer I now have many worlds that represent my brain and various parts of me, but also still kinda have “imaginary friends” who are just my characters but I talk to them. One of them helped me significantly through a few years of extreme depression…! Sometimes ya just gotta work with what you got, and sometimes it starts as an empty white room with a talking lizard
@@FrilledMayfly_AmberlyFerrule sounds like MADD (Maladaptive Daydreaming Disorder) you should look it up. I have it as well
I had an imaginary friend named Matt. He talked about random Reddit things.
🤔I guess the imaginary friend became real or we all collective believe he's real💀
Damn, me too
... wait a minute-
Same, actually! I think he liked Mondays or something, something about "Matt Toes Monday" I think.
I haven't grown out of that phase yet
thats the most horrifying one yet, im so glad matt isnt real
You know when people would cheer defense at sport events? Well, my imaginary friend was the guy they were cheering for. His name was Defense, and he lived on the moon.
Omg I love that 😂
Every match he looks down from the moon and goes: “they love me!”
7:10 "Aw look darling, our son is drawing his imaginary fr- *IS THAT THE GRIM REAPER?!"*
I had an imaginary friend called "Rosey", this is her backstory...
One night, when I was five, I saw the clear form of a shadow-like cat on the end of my bed, It ran off from my bed and chased the "cat" where it quickly vanished down the drain of the sink.
At the time mistook it for a black kitten we had rescued and later gave away, hence the name.
I would hallucinate shadow people at night and experienced excruciating night terrors, so with my childlike reasoning, I assumed she must have been a woman who could shapeshift into a cat.
As I'm typing this, I realise I was a severely deranged child. It doesn't help that I imagined her as a lithe woman with alabaster skin, vibrant scarlet hair and black - or red - eyes.
I would eagerly await her arrival and tell my parents that she would - "visit me tonight" because of black scuff marks on the walls. ?????
I can't even imagine the amount of money spent on therapy
That's not an imaginary friend that is a demon
@@VoidStaresback Yeah, I wonder if those may have been some demons, hallucinations, or both.
@@awomancalledonion Since demons aren't real, there's nothing to ask

I'm not sure where I learned about the concept of imaginary friend, but I'm pretty sure I just lied about having one.
When I was four, I had an imaginary friend named "Ring". She looked remarkably like my younger sister, who wouldn't be born until four years later when I was eight, except she had rainbow hair and a gold necklace. Even more remarkably I never told my sister about Ring until she made a self-insert OC with rainbow hair and a gold necklace.
To this day I can't explain it other than as a ridiculous coincidence. Because any other alternative is too existentially terrifying for me to entertain...
Holy-
I could be way off base here, but it sounds really wholesome to think that your little sister may have decided to join your family and hang out with you before she was born.
I think she wasn’t entirely imaginary
Had an imaginary friend called Silus
A knight who’s also an elf but could only speak Japanese
I don’t even know any Japanese
"Watashi wa... Silus desu."
he sounds cool
Idk I might put him on my community posts at some point
Mind if I steal this for a book?
My imaginary friend also spoke some other language i made up but couldn't understand. His name was frank and he looked like a packman ghost with little stick legs. He had a dog shaped like a basketball. He drove off on his motorcycle and i never saw him again
My imaginary friend was a sentient blue box on wheels which housed Rubik’s Cubes, plasma, RUclipsr OCs, and object shows.
I had a whole collection of them. A whole neighborhood of friends who lived in my yard. I kept them up till i was like 14 and started getting out more... in retrospect, I think i was lonely 💀
Idk a friend garden sounds kinda epic and healthy
4:30 If I had a nickel for every time someone said that "chin-chin" meant penis in Japanese in a Matt Rose video, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice, right?
Chin-chin is also a French variant of "cheers" (meant to emulate the sound of glasses clinking together); drinking with French and Japanese people in Japan was always a riot.
I see you are a person of culture
I only have one nickel.
dunno about the other time but I saw a meme before about it
@@Parthgamer123 the other time was in Matt's nice vs. naughty cats of the week video.
Do stuffed animals count as imaginary friends?
If so, my imaginary friends were a Winnie the Pooh rug I've had since birth called Thomas (named after a certain blue locomotive you may know) and a golden retriever toy called Lollipop, named such because I got him at like 5 years old from the school crossing guard, or as I called her, the lollipop lady because the stop sign used to halt traffic so people can cross looked like a giant lollipop to 5 year old me.
Still have these two to this very day, they're sentimental to me and have gone from imaginary friends to mementos of my childhood.
I thought everyone called the crossing guards lollipop ladies
Wait, it wasn't just me?!
If so, I still have mind, although I don't believe he's ACTUALLY alive anymore.
He still makes me feel safe though. He is a tiny polar bear plushie that my grandpa gave me when I was little. I always sleep with it in bed and even when I was "way too old" for plushies, I lost him and felt bad for vey long. Then I got him back on my birthday because grandpa and grandma found him (he was stuck between the bed and the wall when I slept over). I decided to just keep him at home at all times. I can sleep without him, but I prefer not to. I just don't wanna risk losing him again
Lollipop lady is a very common term for them over here in the UK at least, although I haven't actually seen any since I was a child
Damn, I thought it was a me thing.
Me and my sister shared an imaginary friend. He was our imaginary brother named Jimmy (cuz we don’t have any actual brothers). My sister would call him a bitch but I thought he was a total homie. We were also in a band with him and apparently Jimmy could rap really good.
I had an imaginary friend, his name was gus. Completely normal guy but with crab hands. And an army green shirt. Really cool guy
I has an imaginary family, I had two children named Emily and George, and a wife named Annie, I remember shopping at the dollar store and accidentally telling the cashier about my “wife” I never spoke of it again.
how old were you when you made that mistake with the cashier? the imagery of a little kid saying something like that casually is REALLY funny 😭😭
@@catsungdae I was probably 4 or 5 😆
The cashier thought it was so funny but my toddler brain thought she was laughing at me, not with my mother who was hysterical 😭
8:11 this got me better than i expected 💀
Also, RIP Tony Rygel

I used to have these things called sinner babies. They kinda looked like cherubs and they had big white wings and diapers. They lived inside ceiling fans and hid in trash and when spotted by a human. Oh! And if they are blueberries, they would explode. But strawberries were fine. I originally wanted them to explode by eating strawberries but then remembered, I like strawberries but am not a fan of blueberries. So therefore blueberries are deadly to sinner babies. I would talk about these all the time when I was younger. I was a maniac
I think Sinner Babies opened for Rob Zombie once.
My brother had an imaginary friend when he was like 4 named Marne and he was a friendly ghost that lived in an air vent in the kitchen, supposedly with systems of tunnels that he traveled through. He also was terrified of the patterns on the wood-paneled walls, and called them the loader doter loaders. Apparently, there were many different loader doter loaders: the Elephano, cup stealing fly, motorcycle max, and scariest of all, the yum yum yum monster.
I love my imaginary friend Gregory the flesh kangaroo who spoke in an overly British accent
2:40 feels like a two sentence horror story
my imaginary friend was "mr smiles" a very nice bunny-man-hyena-thing, he always smiled and i don't quite remember exactly what he looked like but he enjoyed hiding under my brothers bed (we had a bunk bed) and i would check on him every night but when i turned 10, we moved and i got a bed on the ground and mr smiles was gone
good riddance holy fuuckkk
how's our favorite old man doing!!

Me and my group of friends had another group of imaginary friends. Some highlights included Mr. Wind, Mama Triangle, and the Sand Child. Anytime anything went wrong, we'd blame Mr wind. Mr. Wind was married to Mama Triangle, who was some kind of protector figure if I remember correctly. The sand child was an environmentalist who would hide in the sand and grab tourist's ankles. They had some deep lore, but I've forgotten most of it
i love this
Did the sand child look like any other guy? They sound like they act quite gremlin-y.
@@theresahaironthescreen he just looked like a normal kid I think
My imaginary friend was Victoria Vex, she was a vex from Minecraft (before they looked like allays) and in creative mode I built a castle with my mom using a block-for-block tutorial (I don’t use these anymore btw) and I spawned a bunch of vexes outside the castle and when my mom found out I told her “Victoria and her friends are here!” And I just forgot about her when I was around 7
