Why do people think i am crazy?

Question

Answer 1

When stress hits you, anyone can be willing to do anything to at least calm it down. To me and other mental health and psychology pros would accept it and think it's normal. Family on the other hand can just think that something normal is a 15 year old girl complaining over her next phone, and thinking about what to wear tomorrow, not having someone imaginary.

Try to keep him/her to yourself when you're alone, and if it's really scaring or being made fun of, if you don't mind, share with the person a sentence story about why, for example "I'm stressed out and need someone or something to talk to"

Answer 3

You friend is not imaginary - you are gifted and can talk (and maybe see) other people of other dimensions.

There is absolutely nothing to be stressed about with school and ballet. Do you think your life will "end" if you "fail" with school or ballet?? - I think not, that is an illusion pushed on you by those who do not understand life.

I "failed" in school (year 10) and then later went on to own four companies and employ over 200 people.

No one can put stress on you - it is only your reaction to it. When someone says something to you, before you answer or react, it has no power - is this not correct??

There can only be  a reaction if you decide to react to it! How you react, decides the reaction!

You need to change the way you look at things - you actually form the way things are - by the way you look at things.

The power is in YOUR hands - not others.

Answer 4

it isn't unheard of for people to do that you know. I'm 15 as well and I get teased for doing Irish Dancing, Pedal Prix, having 5 siblings, Arguing and talking with myself (in public, and loudly as well, lol) etc. the list continues.

People who are teasing you are just insecure about their lives. They probably get stressed and so do karate or fighting of some sort or they talk to someone else. The fact that you have an imaginary friend is totally alien to these people and they feel that they should get at you for it.

Be proud that you can walk around, a prefectly sane person, and have an imaginary friend, of whom you are not going to lose just because a couple of insecure babies are harassing you. Good on you!

If people do get at you, you could turn around and say

"Yes you have the right to your opinion, and I have the right to think your stupid." Me, I would just hit them, but try the phrase first. XD

Don't give up on it just because people are giving you a hard time, it is better to be different and happy than to be a sheep and miserable and stressed.

Answer 5

If you are under stress then perhaps you need to talk with someone who is not imaginary, but instead one of your family, school friends or ballet class friends.  They may be able to suggest something that you have overlooked and help you feel much better.

Answer 6

Try to have your imaginary friend in private? Seems to me like you have a trust issue and rather than confide in anyone else you have this friend.. Or learn to trust someone and talk to them as they can answer you back and share your concerns
