Tulpas vs. Real friends.

Let's compare tulpas to real life friends:

 

Tulpas:

* Can potentially be perfect for you

* Almost never leave your side

* Can have all different types of relationships

* Potentially immortal until your death (unless you believe otherwise)

* Can help you become more enlightened

 

Real life:

* No development time aside from growth

* Can help you in life via their connections

 

Those are the pros I came up with. What are your cons?

They are two entirely different kinds of relationships.

 

One is an internal relationship. It can experience and understand you first hand from a first hand perspective.

 

The other is an external relationship. They can never truly understand or experience you, going by second and third hand accounts.

 

However, external relationships are important and necessary, and fulfilling in ways internal relationships can never be. At the same time, Internal relationships are important and fulfilling in ways external relationships can never be.

It really depends on what kind of people your friends turn out to be. Some of them are worth the stress you sometimes get from relationships with humans..And,with some so called real friends, well you are better off hanging out with your tulpas..

I know this has already been quoted three times, but... yeah, this.

They/them pronouns, please. (I've been using this display name since 2012 and people won't recognize me if I change it.)
