epicmemesbro Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 To be honest, I have an imaginary girlfriend. Now before you proceed to call me a weirdo and mock me, listen to what I have to say and then you can make your judgment. Now I've had this imaginary girlfriend for about a year now. I do not physically pretend she exists and talk to her in real life go out on dates in real life ECT. What I do is day dream what it would be like to have a girlfriend. It doesn't interfere with my everyday routine, I daydream for like 10 minutes at least daily. I don't really know why I do this, because I don't want a girlfriend. Its probably looked down upon in our society but I could care less, I don't impulsively do this, I do it when I want. I do enjoy daydreaming about this imaginary girlfriend so its not against my will. So I ask you YCM, do you think its ok for someone to have an imaginary girlfriend? Or do you think its an unhealthy habit which can lead to serious problems? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ENMaker Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 So basically you like to imagine what it'd be like being in a relationship, and understand that the events taking place in your mind when you do so are not real. Yep, insane, going to destroy your life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~ P O L A R I S ~ Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 I'd like to revoke my previous comment, it was inappropriate and offensive. I'm sure your imaginary girlfriend is a lovely person and I wish the two of you the very best in the years ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draconus297 Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 Honestly, so long as you're aware she's imaginary, and it's not harming you or people around you in any meaningful way, who am I to give a funk? Honestly, you do you, keep doing what you do so long as everything is within bounds. Imagining relationships, as far as I can tell, is something most people in general do- even those already in real relationships! Honestly, I say it time and time again: our only enemy is extremism. Live within bounds and no one else's opinions matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azuriena Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 This doesn't seem much different from the "What if I won the lottery / were rich?" kind of daydreams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tourmaline Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 This doesn't seem much different from the "What if I won the lottery / were rich?" kind of daydreams.This is my favorite comparison for how much of a pipe dream his getting a girlfriend might be.

ihop Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 This is my favorite comparison for how much of a pipe dream his getting a girlfriend might be. I don't really see a problem with an imaginary girlfriend and I really don't think it's unhealthy (heck, haven't most of us daydreamed about having a girlfriend one time or another) but this had got to be the best comment of 2016.

Aix Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 I daydream all the time about impossible scenarios. Zombie apocalypses, going to another world... nothing as extreme as you though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

epicmemesbro Posted January 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 It should be noted that these "instances" of day dreaming are consistent, not randomly done. I guess it does become an issue when you start imagining scenario's that will put you in a bad mood. In other words it might be a problem if your imaginary girlfriend starts cheating on you.

Tentacruel Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 I know the feeling. To be honest the main issue is that daydreaming all the time can prevent you from truly living in reality. It's not out of the ordinary for introverts, but it can and will prevent you from talking to people and thus obtaining a real girlfriend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~ P O L A R I S ~ Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 What you're doing is perfectly healthy and sane. Actual relationships are often unhealthy and usually drive people insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epicmemesbro Posted January 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 Perhaps I'm doing this because I subconsciously want a girlfriend? I suppose I may have done this a year ago as a way to feel better about myself? There has been a request of sorts that involves me describing her.... She is shorter than me, is a little thick not to much though, She's white and has a southern accent. She has the same interests I do, listens to the same music, has similar beliefs ect. Oh my, I cringed quite I bit whilst typing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tentacruel Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 As someone who daydreams a lot, I implore you to really ask yourself if you wish to remain single. It's way better to just be honest with yourself. Maybe you don't want a girlfriend, but I would suggest you give it some more thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expelsword Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 There's a very large difference between what you've implied you're doing ("dating" a fictional character) and what you're actually doing (thinking about a potential future). Of course it's normal to think about things like that, it's a bit strange though that you say you have no interest in an actual girlfriend.Speaking kind of from experience, it may just be that you haven't found anyone in real life who lives up to your expectations. I would often think "but that would never happen", and then, well, sometimes things happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
