I Have An Imaginary Friend...HAHAHA!

To make it clear, I am not crazy about having an imaginary friend. It happens whenever I am alone, I talk as if there is someone in front of me. I assumed that some of you talk to yourself, too. It is a way how to entertain myself to kill boredom. By the way, my imaginary friend's name is Jamshed.

Do you talk to yourself sometimes? Do you have an imaginary friend? Image Credit: rochemamabolo.files.wordpress.com

I think it was Dorothy Parker who said that she often talked to herself because she always liked to hear a good speaker and to have an appreciative audience! Does talking to our dog count? She is a friend who is far from imaginary!

I think your dog is a responsive creature. In my humble opinion, it is not counted.

It sounds like I am like Dorothy Parker.

I wish I can talk to stray cats here. But I don't want to because I hate my pastor neighbor. We might clash with each other again.

That's nice that you can talk to yourself. I just remembered my dummy in Tajikistan. I named him Jamshed. I must say that it helped me to accomplish my mission in this country.

What's the name of your imaginary friend?

Perhaps she and Jamshed can be friends.

Jamshed had helped me accomplish my medical mission in Tajikistan before.

On my part, I don't consider talking alone is having conversation to an imaginary friend. I do talk alone and that is talking to myself, when I've done something which is not good or bad, I will say you are silly, you did it again, there you are again. And when good I will say, you're smart

. I grab all the credit instead of giving it to my visiting imaginary friend

Talking to myself started when I had my medical mission in Central Asia. I called him Jamshed because I am living alone at that time. Eventually, Jamshed turned into reality by using a dummy. Do you want to see him?

I am not making you scared of him though.

I think talking to ourselves may be good. Sometimes I do talk to myself especially if I want to tell her that she can do it. I always remind myself that she is good and she should never give up on her dreams.

I can understand how it feels. I just call my inner soul Jamshed. He had tried his best in everything he wants. He is always loyal to me. I must say that it is healthy to talk to ourselves.

If the demons from within argue, it will be a big battle.
