Question
OK so for about a year now I've had imaginary friends I am a teen but still, they started with two devils and an angel that I could feel and see when I needed then it changed to people who I could vividly see hear, and touch like if I were to touch one of their hairs I could feel hair and I don't know why this is. Can someone tell me please its been confusing
@imaginaryfriends I am not an expert, but from what I've read it seems no one really knows why it is. Certainly, all of us are capable of imagination, and some are better then others. So a simple explanation might be that your imagination is really, really powerful.
I notice that you have posted this in Personality Disorders Support. In the official (DSM-5-TR) definition of a personality disorder, the disorder is stable over time, but in your case it has changed over time. In the official definition the disorder leads to distress or impairment, but in your case you feel and see these friends when you need them, so it sounds like they are helpful to you in some way. That makes me think these imaginary friends have nothing to do with any kind of personality disorder.
If they ever cause you distress or become unhelpful, that would be a different matter.
