Chapter 62 62．Where is the line between fantasy and imagination?

Q Wendy Hu asked I am a student in the second grade of junior high school. From the age of eight or nine, a creature named "Little T" communicated with me. At first, it appeared when I was sleeping at night.Then gradually during the day it would also talk to me, and the voice was very clear.I know it's my fantasy, but sometimes I do something and it speaks volumes right away.Do I have serious mental hysteria? A Lan Feng answered Hu Wendi really?I really want to know what kind of creature Little T is, like Avatar?Can I make friends with it?In fact, many people, like you when they were young, had a partner that only they could perceive.Well, let's call it fantasy friends.

In the United States, there are two people who specialize in the study of imaginary friends, one named Taylor and the other named Carlson. They interviewed many people and found through screening and comparison that 65% of them had had their own imaginary friends.As you said, imaginary friends will often appear around you, giving you advice, guiding you, or simply chatting with you.And it will only belong to you, others will not see it, you rarely take the initiative to disclose that you have such a friend, let alone share it with others.You can really feel whether it is talking or laughing, or sad and depressed.Of course, it's all about yourself and its secrets.Fantasy friends are actually a reflection of our hearts, and what fantasy friends express is actually exactly what you think.When you like a new model, he will say: "Hey, this is cool, isn't it?" When you are criticized by the teacher for your bad grades in the exam, Little T may also help you talk: "Actually, you can understand these questions. If you do it, it’s sloppy, don’t worry, just try to come back next time.”

What do you think is the biggest difference between now and childhood? In the past there was fog, now there is haze.There used to be stars and stars, and now you have to wear a gas mask on Monday. Fantasy friends will be different for you.Like in "Growing Pains", Chris imagined a Mike mouse because her brother Mike couldn't play with her.Mike Mouse performed all the things that Mike should do as a brother-protecting his sister safe, telling stories to his sister and so on.And when the whole family realized that the existence of Mike Mouse was due to their negligence, which made Chris feel lonely, they went to battle together, and soon Mike Mouse also quietly ran away.Typically, pre-10 fantasy friends slowly fade out of your life.Of course, some people even when they reach adulthood, imaginary friends will still accompany them as their spiritual support.Many people mistakenly think that those who have imaginary friends must be introverted and reserved, but this is not the case.Some bubbly people also have imaginary friends with whom they share every ounce of happiness.

Therefore, having imaginary friends is not a kind of mental hysteria, but a kind of psychological reflection that many people may have. Parents or others should not say that you are thinking blindly or stupidly because of this, but should indirectly use your imaginary friends to better understand you. know about you.Of course, we should not be too indulging in the private space of imagining friends with ourselves, because in addition to this, we should have more good friends and a larger social space.Oh, by the way, I will tell you quietly at the end, in fact, when I was young, my imaginary friend was called "Douding".
