Have any of you heard of this happening to anyone else? Two Years Ago I Had A False Relationship With A Creation Of my Mind. My Schizophrenia created a girlfriend out of nothing. I had thought i was talking to someone at a tea parlor, ETC... And i didnt know it was false for two weeks. And only found out because and old woman stopped me, and told me that i was talking to myself. I now my current relationship is real, but i wonder, who else knows of someone dating themself?
im really interested in psychology so i mean, yea ive heard of things like that. congradulations on your current relationship, make sure she knows your circumstances so there are no suprises
In a way, most relationships are like dating yourself. Very few people actually know each other -- so generally you are dating your own perception of someone else. But that's my mumbojumbo ... I know what you mean, and have in fact heard of it. Actually, I experienced an interesting version of it. In high school I had no real friends, so I made an imaginary one. I never actually thought he was really there with me, in the flesh, but it was nice to have the company. Then after some bad things happened at college, I brought him back ... In fact, I could use him again right now ... but regretfully I think he's moved away and changed his number. The moral of the story is: Dating people who are not really there, is amazing.
I have a wierd story about that. One time I was slumming it in Camden, and sat down on this bench outside a pub to try and get some rest. It was about 3am, and obviously the pub had closed. This guy came along from like nowhere, sat down with a pint in his hand and just started talking to me, gave me a bevvie and we were just chilling. Then this other guy walked past on his own, his arm in the air like he had it on someones shoulders. He was talking to the thin air like it was his girlfriend, joking about what they had been doing that night and everything. I thought this is fucking wierd. The guy who I was drinking with saw it too, but didn't even seem phazed by it. Later on in the morning I walked down by the locks and saw him again, his hand slightly out from his body as if he was holding the invisible girls hand.
