Have you told anyone IRL about tulpas?

[Black Bane]

Told my mum, she was a wee bit concerned about my comparison to schizophrenia, but it eventually dropped.

I have 2 friends i have told, though. both bronies, so the topic of conversation eventually turned to ponies irl.

mentioned tulpae, 1 didn't really care, other went into a big discussion about it, almost like a sponge for knowledge. Its now like a running joke between us. I think i'll reveal info to him as i progress.

[Gray]

No, because there is no way that I can say "You know guys, I'm hearing voices in my head and seeing things that aren't really there" without invoking a shitstorm regardless of how I phrase it.

Though I might do it one day just for kicks.

[Lulu]

Bitch I told psychiatrist(s?). GET ON MY LEVEL.

[ThatOneGuy]

Like I said before, once I get the chance...

[Vitalpae]

Well, I mentioned it loosely to a friend of mine. Never said I was making one, but we had a conversation about it. He was talking about "well, there's no real place to look up stuff on this, so..."

 

And I was like "Uh, Tulpa.info, kthx."

 

"How do you know that?"

 

"UH. Research. For a book."

 

"..."

"... /// I'm not crazy."

[Lane Trip]

Told almost all my close friends so far. They all think its really interesting and usually ask how things are going with it and ask questions. Most of my friends are really intelligent and open-minded. So they don't think I'm crazy or anything.

[Targaryen]

I tried to tell my brother but he just dismissed it as another one of my typical "loser" activities T.T Come one now, astral projection and lucid dreaming are for winners!

[Hoppip]

told my sister who doesn't really care and passed it off as "me being weird again"

 

told one friend who thought it sounded pretty cool, but otherwise hasn't shown much interest

[Mulder]

I told my mother and a few close friends that I'm working on creating a girlfriend inside of my mind that I'll be able to speak to and hopefully eventually see visually through a self-induced hallucination.

 

It was a strange conversation.

[Phi]

I did mention it to another artistic friend who thought it was a great idea for me, saying that anyone making art has to be "out there" to make quality work. For my brother, who does patient therapy at a mental institution, I had to convince him that I wasn't giving myself schizophrenia, but I did without much problem.

 

What kind of therapist thinks having a hallucination automatically makes you schizophrenic? Good to know he was easy to convince, though. Sounds like a bro (da dum tiss)

 

I imagine that if I ever even told anyone about Haru, it would be that she's a "ghost of a friend (DA DUM TISS) that never seems to be around".
