People who had imaginary friends when you were little: what's your relationship with them now?

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.

Sorta. I dreamt I had an imaginary family in which I was the only child. IRL I am one of seven kids, plus some cousins and other kids my parents informally took charge of.
I used to imagine getting new clothes and toys instead of hand me downs, and getting to go to first run movie theaters (too expensive with 7 kids at $10+ per ticket), and eating foods nicer than basic bulk nutrients (Lunchables were the pinnacle of unnecessary expense on food).
Now I am employed and financially self sufficient. I don't think about the imaginary family. I do sometimes have trouble spending money on myself. I recently bought a new jacket for $40, very reasonably priced for what it is and the quality. I had in the back of my head for a good three days after buying it that I didn't really need it and it was a waste of money. Maybe I need the rich imaginary version of myself to tell me to stop feeling like a class-jumping fraud.
I still have never had a Lunchables, but that desire is long gone.
Love that youre in a better space for yourself.

Treat yourself if ever feel like wasting a few dollars on an experience. Life is about experiencing things. It doesnt have to be a lunchable though, youre definitely not missing anything

Lots of people seem to have this one imaginary friend named Jesus

We peacefully fell out of contact

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 โ(-1) friends

Wtf are you saying? That doesn't make much sense, care to explain? It's really confusing how you worded whatever your saying

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.

I had 3, but I moved away and lost touch. I sometimes wonder if they're still there.

Does she feel autonomous to you? Or more like an extension of you? That sounds pretty cool, either way!

If it was autonomous, i think i would have a mental problem, nah, itโs mostly an extension of me to talk to when i'm in a deep reflexion, upset, worried or simply when i feel to.
Kind of like a notebook, but in a conversationnal way.I never had a lot of friends irl, and having someone i can really relate with to discuss helps easing loneliness.
Thus why i still have an imaginary friend

I remember them. My my imaginary friends were stuff like The Looney Toons (I was really into Space Jam) and Sailor Moon. I remember "Playing with Bugs and Lola" at recess. I had them until around late middle school when I started to make friends here and there. I would think back on them with embarrassment, but now I'm thankful for the "support."
