Kids are going to be weird and use their imagination. They’ll pretend to be an NFL player breaking tackles as they run through a crowded school hallway. They’ll pretend to be Optimus Prime and pretend to transform into a truck. Or they’ll pretend to be iron man blasting bad guys with their lazer palms.
The issue is when your friends have aged out of that behavior and you think it’s still cool to Naruto run up to them all the time.
I remember when I was a kid I used to pretend the weirdest stuff. Once I was sitting on a picnic table behind the school and I pretended I was loved and safe.
I did stop pretending like that pretty early though because I was afraid of being seen as weird.
It’s hard to keep it lighter than a feather; sometimes it’s heavier than lead; coming round to the understanding that’s also on me. (Believe it or not, some heart chakra with string drum helped me out of that rut while i slept. I didn’t purposely find it, it just was on after the video i fell asleep to. It’s no excuse not to do grief work though. And i’m doing that too.)
Tangentially related but your comment made me remember that I had the most random daydreams of slaying dragons and shit when I was a kid. And that it’s been such a long time since I had any real imaginative thoughts.

Can you feel me hugging you in our hearts?
That’s cholesterol.
Heart burn too. Please make it stop.
Giggled! That too.
Me too soul family. If we pretend together enough, we’ll jump timelines. Want to?
Maybe you already have and that’s how you got into this mess.
You see me move back and forth between both…
I’ve almost found a balance!

I’m glad to play and learn together.
Maybe the ones who aged out are the issue.

Try to have offline days with minimal to no screen time and let your brain be bored :)
I don’t see any issue, honestly
