Tulpas and Phobias

[KenzieK]

Okay, so I was talking to my friend today and he told me that his tulpa was uncomfortable/ scared to be around large groups of people. Astonished, I told him that Yuki is demophobic (fear of crowds) to the point of extreme anxiety. We then wondered if it was a common fear among tulpas and I thought, "what better place to ask than tulpa.info?" so: is anyone else's tulpa uncomfortable or hopelessly terrified of crowds?

 

If they aren't, what kinds of fears/ phobias does your tulpa have?

Tammy actually says her greatest fear is finding herself alone. That is to say, as unlikely as it may be, she thinks the scariest thing in the world would be to lose me. Though she doesn't really seem to like big crowds much, either. She's not really afraid of them, she considers them more tedious than anything else.

 

To be honest, I don't like crowds much, either, so that trait probably just sort of rubbed off on her.

Ruu says she's afraid of the Void, that little bit of emptiness that exists in place where a wonderland should be. It kind of makes sense, because that's where I created her (instead of following Irish's guide). Lily has the same fear as your Tammy, LordV, in that she's deathly afraid of being alone.

Both my tulpa have been/are afraid of the dark, to the point of irationality.

I don't know if one could really call it a fear, but both Thunder and Melody have both reacted with horror to separate scenes of violence against horses in movies and TV, Thunder during the opening of Django unchained and Melody to a scene from Game of Thrones. Would it be reasonable to assume that a pony tulpa would be scared of seeing horses be killed? Thunder also got a bit sad during the stage performance of War Horse (though to be fair, so did I; it's a bloody upsetting play)

I'm not sure it's justified, but Alice is rather untrusting, or suspicious, of "shady" people i'm acquainted with. She isn't as quick to look past people's appearance and actually cautions me about letting my guard down. She also hasn't expressed interest in having friends or anything social like that, but it might not be connected.

Fears of losing me/me being hurt seem to top its list then it dislikes gore/surgeries and the dark.

This was exactly kerin [tulpa's] fear. Though, it manifested as a fear of bridges, until we worked it out.

At first I was quite surprised when I found that yes, tulpas can have phobias. Jürgen here is scared of heights, for example. In the real world only though, not in the wonderland.

 

As for crowds, they don't mind them much, so it's just me who really doesn't like crowds :@

One of my tulpas, Sunray, is kind of afraid of crowds, and heights, and, well... a lot of things. Really I just think it's because she's timid in general, though.
