Loneliness is definitly a cause of it. Dont let your imagination run away from you... Dont live in a fantasy world because this is reality and I know how hard it is to face reality but you've got to face your fears or you'll go nowhere in life and you'll be really depressed. Eventually it becomes an addiction, imaginary friends. And its hard for you to heal from that :-\ But I did. I guess really what you have to do is find what you really want, listento your heart and itll tell u exactly where to go. so listen to it
