Your Tulpas, Your Friends, and You

[harleygirl88701]

I plan on NEVER doing it. I sent my friends a link to the website, and a few guides. They thought it was insane and unsafe. So I made one without telling them. If I got a better reaction, I would plan on telling them, but I think this was a good test to try first before telling anyone.

 

Tell them the only way it could be unsafe is if you neglect or mistreat your tulpa. I plan on telling my friends;my brother knows and is cool with it.

I just tell people at my school. If people have had a problem or negative opinion with it they haven't told me, haha. I tell so many people though because Annabell is quite the social individual and wants to be known about by the world.

I don't recommend my approach though, people tend to think of me as superior to them in some way for whatever reason so I get away with alot. Then again, Annabell is at no lack of social buddies this way, even if 80% of the people I tell aren't comfortable with it in the process

I will never do it. 99,9% of the people can not see what we can. If anybody came up to me taking about flying turtles in his bathroom, I would consider him crazy. But who knows if there is no www.flyingturtlesbathroom.info where people are who really know for sure that these exist.

 

Maybe, if I am directly asked I may say that I am able to split up my mind simulating another personality with I can mentally interact. But I will never say it in a way that there is somebody permanently in my that I am in real kind of relationship wirh.

I told people a few years ago, but they probably think i forgot about it, haven't told anyone for a few years. I'm planning on telling a friend of mine because they asked me if i wanted to make a tulpa at the same time as them, lol.

So far I've told my wife and my best friend that I have a tulpa, and that's it. My wife doesn't seem thrilled but is willing to put up with all the weirdness that comes with being with me. My friend thought the idea seemed pretty cool. Whenever we feel ready I'll introduce her to them, but that probably won't be anytime soon.

This is something my wife and i were just discussing today. We have made the decision to keep our tulpa's secret for now but will eventually explain them to our kids when we think there old enough to understand. As for other family and friends were going to hold back. Maybe I'll tell my best friend i think he would understand but he's a outside the box kinda guy like me. But i believe as with all things its about understanding and respect still with today's stigmas it may be better to leave others in the dark

I have so selectively chosen who I shared, I don't know if my vote above is valid. I have written my experiences and made them available using a pseudonym, and can easily retreat to the safety of 'this is fiction' and so, I have fortified my position with several retreats. One friend I couched the whole subject under the hypothetical, if this were plausible, would you give it a go, and they seemed open enough that I shared some of my experiences. Unless you have a really weird group of friends, or random selection of folks at a bar favored an out of the blue, bizarre conversation, 'so what did you this holiday?' 'oh, my tulpa and I traveled to this other planet where troubles melt like lemon drops,' and we all have a good laugh, and we incorporate as many Kansas jokes as we can, I just don't imagine it going well without a great sense of humor or fallback position.

I have only told a few people about lily

And have told them to kept it secret for fear of bullying
