Imaginary friends come in all shapes and sizes.
Have you ever had an imaginary friend? Imaginary friends are often peculiar beings that can take shape as humans, animals, or even scary monsters. An imaginary friend doesn’t have to be invisible. It could be a stuffed toy or a robot that’s been given a personality by its creator.
Experts say that imaginary friends reflect children’s fears, goals, and understandings of the world. Many people consider imaginary friends to be childish, but studies have shown that having imaginary childhood friends is completely normal and even has benefits. In fact, some adults even maintain friendships with their imaginary friends from their childhood.

What’s more, imaginary friends have long been a part of human history. Famous writers, including William Shakespeare, Oscar Wilde, and J.D. Salinger, wrote plays and novels featuring characters that had imaginary friends. Since ancient times, humans have seen faces in mountains, trees, and clouds and created stories about brave and magical heroes in order to describe what they saw. Many people talk about having guardian angels watching over them. These can be defined as imaginary friends, too.
