Imaginary Friend, Real Response

Your brain can create a person that isn’t real. Not a hallucination, not a voice in your

head, but a full personality — a face, a presence. The brain does this

to fill emotional gaps caused by loneliness, trauma, or stress, and for some people

it feels completely normal. They talk to this person every day, laugh with them,

trust them… until one day, the brain stops imagining — and the person answers

back.
