Some of the best conversations I've had in my life have been with people who aren't there.
I may be a freak or weirdo for admitting to it (though I know at least one other person who has confessed to the same), but I have had- and fully expect to continue having- discussions with imaginary people.
The people themselves aren't usually imaginary- they're friends, family, prospective paramours. I talk with them to work through dilemmas I'm having, or to make a trial run at a romantic scenario, or just to have a pleasant conversation with a familiar face that isn't physically present.
Maybe it's because I'm a writer, and like to practice dialoguing; maybe it's because I get bored talking to my own voice (whether in my head or aloud- yes, I'm one of those people at times). In any event, it is comforting to know that my loved ones are never quite as far mentally as they may be geographically.
