Where you usually make her up when you’re around 8-10 years old, and give her the perfect appearance and personality, and use her as an emotional regulator
As you grow up, she becomes quieter, but you usually still visit occasionally for comfort and reassurance for emotional regulation
Men and boys develop their anima to various depths, some give her a deeper backstory and origin than others, and others build her life (marriage, career, family), as they get older to match the real scenarios that are age appropriate - some
males develop a less sophisticated origin and continuation for their anima
So if you have your own anima, it’s extremely common and normal
It’s healthy when she is kept as an emotional regulator, you don’t spend too much time in your own head, and you separate thoughts from reality
It becomes unhealthy when you neglect or prefer her to actually trying to find a wife, having a family, and finding a career in real life
