like my invisible pretend friend tia, I say to people "oh yeh she is really great, she is so nice to me, she never puts me down. she gave me this the other day! (and show them a gift I bought myself), my pretend friend she looks out for me and helps me and never does a thing to upset me ever. " I mean can any real person say that about their real friends or anyone? a partner or work buddy or family? nope! "but tia , yeh she is great she always asks me out and she knows the best places to go and is always willing to get me in"! see, its that easy!
