Here's the thing:

my friend, who has never specifically known tulpa before, but because of some life experiences, he accidentally created several tulpa, and their performance is consistent with the deliberately created tulpa..

Over the past few days we have systematically learned about tulpa and his definition through various avenues including this website.We also discussed tulpa on our social software.And today, he told me about a problem he had: his tulpas seemed reluctant to consider themselves "tulpa".

Below is our chat log and their translations：

Actually I created my tulpa Jaina as an "imaginary friend" to help deal with life issues long before I had heard of a "tulpa." I believe my therapist called her a "healing ally" or something. Some therapist term I guess for a headmate/thought-form that assists you through stress and trauma. I didn't have any one huge life altering tragedy that I understand to be clinical definitions of trauma, just sustained stress from school, friend drama, family drama and growing pains in general. The worst thing was my parents almost divorcing at the time. Luckily they patched things up. And long after Jaina continued to be indispensable and useful in many areas. She eventually became my best friend. I had never imagined any of this *gesturing vaguely to tulpa.info and tulpamancy phenomenon* would be possible. 

 

So it's absolutely possible to create tulpas and other kinds of headmates "in the wild." As for the term "tulpa" it's a commonly recognized and descriptive term agreed upon by many people but not everyone. There are other words that may fit better: imaginary friend, thoughtform, headmate, soul bond, twin flame, character, waifu/husbando, corporeally challenged, spirit guide, guardian angel/spirit, and many, many more. Each of them with their own definition, flavor and context. You could also always just call them what they are: friends. The non-physicality would just be implied. It is kinda funny that them denying their identity as tulpas is evidence that they have the personhood, sentience and awareness levels that would qualify them for being tulpas. There could be many reasons for their reluctance to be called "tulpas," but that's a question for the "not-tulpas" to answer.

Tulpa can consider themselves as Created, or Parogenic, according to Emmengard's Plural Ring.

Tulpa is not a neccessary for self-identification, while it has some culture background and culture-problems.

I have one accidentally created tulpa. He simply gets referred to by his name Cletus in real life. By the few people that even know of him. Generally prefers not to be the center of attention and getting acknowledged like this. So he wasn't fond of the term tulpa either. By now he doesn't care since it's a simple description that gets understood by most people I talk to online. Better than having to explain what Cletus is over and over again.
