Irrele March 18, 2014 Share March 18, 2014 So I've been considering creating a tulpa, and have a specific reason. I had a very close friend once, but long, LONG story short, I ended up becoming overly attached to them and now they outright despise me. I've been depressed ever since the beginning of our falling-out. They had essentially saved my life and introduced me to the path it's on now. I find myself thinking of them every day, and have been this way for 8 months. It's affecting my progress in life and my anxiety issues. I think creating a tulpa might be a sort of solution to this. I need someone to fill the role they left, and someone to comfort me and keep me company. I need someone to talk to about them, and be my friend. It wouldn't be a tulpa based off this person, but someone to take their role in my life. Should I go through with this? Very new to tulpas, but willing to try.

Gryphon Flight March 18, 2014 Share March 18, 2014 I believe that this is a question you must conclude yourself. The tulpa will be living in your mind, it will be a lifelong companion for you, not us. Your decision to make a tulpa is your decision alone, and if you believe that your reasoning for making a tulpa is good, then go for it. Ensure that you do your research, however, as this is a huge commitment and unless you're dead serious about this, you may wish to reconsider. Take a bit of time to consider whether or not you would like to go through with the creation of a tulpa. The idea may seem interesting and like a perfect solution, but ensure that your thoughts are rational, not deluded by the phenomenal possibilities. Best of luck.

xtar March 18, 2014 Share March 18, 2014 Up to you, but do you really need a reason to justify everything? It being for your own happiness seems more than enough to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dog March 19, 2014 Share March 19, 2014 Also be aware that creating a tulpa to fill a certain role might not be the best idea as they might not be able to fill that role and get depressed. This also belongs in question and answers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobillis March 19, 2014 Share March 19, 2014 Moved to Q & A. A tulpa would have a hard time replacing someone you cared for so much. And, a tulpa takes time to become strong enough to help, when it is a big problem you want them to solve for you. Please consider supporting Tulpa.info.

Mel Syreth March 19, 2014 Share March 19, 2014 I'd say go for it. Tulpae make really good listeners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenzieK March 19, 2014 Share March 19, 2014 Tulpas can make some of the greatest, most understanding companions. If you need a friend, I say make a tulpa. However, please don't expect them to fill up a hole in your life left by someone else. That would put a lot of mental pressure on them. They probably wont be able to make all your problems go away, but they'll listen to you and help with your anxiety. I'm very sorry to hear about your struggles, but i'm glad you're considering making a tulpa to help! best of luck Name-Yuki Sex-Female Form1-Arctic wolf, big blue eyes Form2-Long white hair, blue eyes, pale skin, white wolf ears/tail, light blue jacket Personality-Compassionate, calm, sarcastic, playful, protective, introverted Stage-Sentient, vocal, working on possession Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NariusV March 28, 2014 Share March 28, 2014 The tulpa would be building a new relationship rather than replacing the old, and my experience is yes. They can help by listening and sharing new and different viewpoints that can make a lot of things easier. NariusV's Progess Report Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous April 3, 2014 Share April 3, 2014 Also be aware that creating a tulpa to fill a certain role might not be the best idea as they might not be able to fill that role and get depressed. Any reason for creating a tulpa is fine, as long as that reason doesn't impose some sort of responsibility or duty on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
