Have you told your parents?

[KenzieK]

I planned on telling my mom about Yuki so I first took some time to explain what a tulpa is to her and she freaked out, saying it was crazy even though I explained it from a psychological perspective. I didn't expect her to react like that at all, since she knows I'm into psychology stuff. I haven't brought it up since.

I don't plan on ever telling my parents. I did bring it up with my girlfriend before I even began though, and she got very angry about it. We were on a long car trip at the time, so we're sitting there next to each other, but not speaking, for an hour or so. It was bad. I'm not planning to bring it up with her again.

 

There is a cousin I'd like to discuss it with. She's been in Korea lately, but I'll see her in a little less than a year. And my girlfriend probably won't be around that week.

Yes, the response was just an "okay, then" from both sides of the family. It's never brought up much, really.

Noting: Sorry for any error or repitition, I'm on a pos phone and I can't see what I've typed let alone edit it.

 

Discussed it with my mom, told her I already started it. Explained it as psychology and even referenced (what could have possibly been tulpae) the things that I reported seeing to her when I was a child. I was a very quiet child, so the thought of having an imaginary friend to the extreme isn't new to her. She actually credits the one I had when I was younger, he actually gave me a lot of advice that nobody else knew how to give.

 

I explained it from a psychological perspective, and she was very curious. I told her 'You convince your mind that it is real, it becomes as real as possible, but you never forget that they aren't physical beings.

 

I'm going to report my progress to her as I move on. "Let me know how it works out."

 

I'd also like to mention my fiance, because although he's obviously not a parent, he's very important and he lives with me. I mentioned tulpae to him and explained it a little bit, he is very skeptical that something could go wrong. I feel I'm going to wait until my tulpa can speak, and ask him what he thinks of fiance's 83 camaro, relay the results back to him and go from there. Bahahaha.

I don't think I'll tell my parents.

 

My mom may be concerned but probably would be okay. Thess really likes her and see's her as a mother figure. I think she possibly could take it pretty well but I think that will be down the road.She'd probably think of it as a weird imaginary friend stage but would tolerate it.

 

My father would probably disown me after putting me in the mental hospital.

I told both my parents. My mum started telling me about how many people in our family have had mental illnesses. She also thinks my tulpa is controlling me.

I reccomend you don't tell your parents. It's not worth it

My Dad noticed this site on the "recently visited" and he was like "what is" and so I told him that it was for a psychology project in school.

Now he brings it up as some kind of teasing.

Go to router settings->block every url containing "tulpa"->only access site through TOR.

And that's how I keep curious family members off my back.

If you are extra paranoid put the TOR bundle on a usb stick encrypted with TrueCrypt.

I love you so much.

Completely platonically, of course...

Funny thing, my dad told me about the Tibetan tradition concerning tulpae a long time ago, though I completely forgot about it until I arrived here. I think he'd find it interesting actually.
