This would be considered a strong indicator of mental illness. But if it causes you or others no concern it can be quite harmless.
Do you have an invisible friend who talks to you?

No, but sometimes I talk to the tv and I talk to my dogs all the time.

Billions talk to an invisible friend who has never been demonstrated to be real - and take offense if you suggest this simple fact to them.
Funny - if one calls that 'friend' Jesus, or God, or Allah, or another 'accepted' moniker, he is considered perfectly 'normal' for so doing, even though that 'friend' never speaks back to them audibly. Most who claim to hear a return speaker are viewed as having mental illness.
Seems like the inverse should be true, really. Speaking to invisible friends who never answer seems a bit more insane to me.
Wanna really be viewed as 'insane'? Be atheistic toward the whole idea of these invisible 'friends'.
SO, accepting reality only is INSANE in the eyes of society that wishes to indulge acceptance of foolish invisble friends.
The whole thing is ludicrous if one dares think it through for a moment.

Didn't express that well, upon review. Still, I think the point is made.
