Yes it’s possible. People like this have a disorder called schizophrenia. It usually starts at a young age (like 4 or 5 years old) when they talk about imaginary friends. Usually the disorder isn’t diagnosed until later on though

Should any other symptoms appear like delusions, flattened emotions, ect. then he or she is a prime candidate for a diagnosis of Schizophrenia.
