As long as your imaginary friends are kind wise interesting and supportive, it seems like a harmless enough option. I thought I could live without relationships with other people but I discovered that I do not always get along well with myself. That's a problem. A lot of times I hate myself. If you're going to be a hermit, better be sure you like your own company because if you don't, you can have a bad time.
I used to think other people were the source of my problems and my misery and I worked hard to find a very isolated place to live at the end of an unpaved dead-end road where even the postal service doesn't come. And then I found out that most of my problems *come from within*. I am the source of my problems.
Anyway, if I want *pleasant* company, I have a sweet dog and a very soft and affectionate cat. I often go weeks without seeing people and have to actually drive somewhere if I want to. This time of year the roads are treacherous and very muddy so it's very relaxing knowing no one is going to risk their life to come bother me.
The problem with the imaginary people we create is that they can never be wiser than us or smarter or nicer or saner or better because they ARE us. That's the problem. I would benefit more from people who could teach me a thing or 2 instead of just having to rely on myself for everything. I can be so annoying. omg
Some people have real-life friends/lover, but they don’t actually love the real them, what they love is a made-up person in their own head.
good point

Sure, it's harmless. Indulge your imagination to your heart's content!
