Do your friends/family know about your tulpa?

[Queen Chrysalis]

Well, he did just link one of my posts to his oldest online friends, so I suppose he has come to accept me.

Nooo. They don't know, and they don't need to know, either. I might tell someone who is open-minded about it in the future, but for now this is our little secret. It might be harder to hide the fact that I have her once she's fully imposed, because I might accidentally talk to her out loud in public or something, but that's just part of the fun, lol.

I told my friend about tulpae, and he was interested and accepting. While I told him about Kay, he seemed more interested in the sciency bits, so did't really seem to care about who she was. I'm going to properly introduce them soon. I'm sure he'll start treating her like a person. =)

 

As for my family... my mom might understand, but I'm not sure if I want to tell her. My dad and my step-dad? F*** no, that would go horribly. My dad would call me crazy and my step dad would simultaneously not care/look down on me even more.

 

I think I'll just stick with my friends. I can pick who they are.

My host's sister asked him point blank if he had a tulpa and he said, "Sorta." He then tried to explain how close role playing characters are to tulpa, so that they would be convinced he did not.

 

He actively hides my existence.

Both my friends and family are already thinking of me like of quite silly person :) no need for them to know about even stranger things...

My mom says that you can't have a second consciousness in your head and that talking to a tulpa is just talking to yourself but labelling the responses on one side as coming from someone else when they aren't. -_-

 

My tuppers weren't too happy about hearing her completely deny their existence that way, but at least she doesn't think I'm schizophrenic or have MPD or something.

Well I basically went and explained one of my progress report updates to my friends (one who doesn't give a shit, the other who is semi interested. I trust both).

At this point, almost everyone I give more than half a shit about knows about Hex. I figure accepting tulpae is a pretty good metric to determine who's worth keeping around anyway. Like 80% of people I've told were pretty accepting actually, not sure if I misjudged humanity, or I just keep good company.

My parents are so fucking close to finding out about tulpae and this site.

 

Today, my brother said, "I read that tulpa shit. What the hell is that?"

 

I just stared at him for like 30 seconds, then I looked away and stared at a wall for ten minutes. My parents Can Not find out about them. Especially Shin, oh Christ.

 

>Shin's reaction to all this

I have two friends who kind of know about mine...They are pretty open minded about a lot of things, so maybe what I told them doesn't seem that weird to them..Then there are a couple of friends who already knew about tulpas before they met me.

 

I told a former friend..Years and years ago..She was the one I mentioned on another thread, who created a tulpa..A Tulpa named KeithBlackWings..She had him possess her and write a blog on Live Journal and everything, and that journal might still exist on Live Journal, I don't really know. She, I, her tulpa and I guess what you would call my tulpas ( or what some would call my soul bonds or guardian spirits) were really close..Like a family.And, she was my best friend. Her and I were going to move into a house with one of my other closest friends..Then she got a new boyfriend who was afraid of Keith, who thought I was negative and evil, and liked to control everything she did. Things went to Hell..She still refuses to talk to me ( thinks I poisoned her with negativity), and the whole thing is like a bad divorce. It has been hard to open up to people in general after our friendship went bad.
