Midnight Gaze October 14, 2014 Share October 14, 2014 Is there such a thing as "too young" for a tulpa? If so, what is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest amber5885 October 14, 2014 Share October 14, 2014 There is an idea that being under 18 is too young because your brain isn't fully developed yet but IMHO that idea has been disproven. I do still think it takes a lot of thought and consideration to decide that it's right for you but we have many people of all ages who have successfully made tulpas. If your head and heart are in the right place, if you understand that it's a lifelong commitment and that you are creating another person here not something to be used and abused then I think it will be okay.

Guest amber5885 October 14, 2014 Share October 14, 2014 It's the general consensus that a younger person shouldn't do it but I've seen 14, 15, and 16 year olds with well developed tulpas and while I do air on the side of caution and think that a person should be more developed I had Toby when I was a kid and even a teenager and everything worked out. I think the idea is flawed. I do think that a younger person is more apt to do it for the wrong reasons but then again I've seen 20 year olds come here asking how to make a sex slave tulpa. So it's not so much the age as the maturity level of the person. Just make sure you're in it for the right reasons and that you're sure and you'll be fine. I don't think age has any lasting effect on a tulpa at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Upper Class Twit October 14, 2014 Share October 14, 2014 I agree. Its really not the age that matters. Its a good guideline to follow, but far more important is maturity and responsibility. You can't make meaningful judgments on a person based on their demographic. You can make assumptions, which may end out to be true, but not judgments based on the individual. I'm going to say as a general rule, 16 sounds about right. Though like I said, you need to make judgments based on each individual person.

Abvieon October 14, 2014 Share October 14, 2014 I do not see any problem with it. I have read some guides that have stated that you should not create a tulpa if you are still a young teenager (16 and below range) but I strongly disagree. Some teenagers are more mature than a lot of adults, in fact, making it very reasonable for them to create a tulpa. I am 14, and I learned about tulpae when I was 13. Don't let anyone convince you that you shouldn't make a tulpa because you are supposedly not mature enough. Our brains are still developing on some level even as adults.

Quilten October 14, 2014 Share October 14, 2014 Maturity>age Though experience can be tremendously helpful, and it does come with age, I don't think it's detrimental enough to cause problems in a case in which the potential host is already mature enough.

FurryBlueNaki October 14, 2014 Share October 14, 2014 I'm 37 and I can sometimes act immature for my age. Like I get down and cuddle with my dog, and say sweet nothings to him. And I still argue with my mom at times. My tulpa prefers I be direct with him rather than baby-talking to him. When I first learned about tulpas I was obsessed, but I've pretty much toned that down to something healthy. I think if your heart's in the right place, you should go for it.

FallFamily October 15, 2014 Share October 15, 2014 Well, considering that imaginary friends can become tulpas (it is just a matter of them breaking free or being let go of their mental bond), I would say that one could make a tulpa as a little kid. I think it was in the IIA (Illusion of Independent Agency) article that it mentioned someone who had a tulpa of such a description as a kid. Also, from the multiple community, yes, definitely, kids can make tulpas. Now, a very different question is whether one should make a tulpa at that age. - Hail Tri = {V, O, G}, Ice and Frostbite and Breach (all formerly Hail), and others System Name: Fall Family Former Username: hail_fall Contributor and administrator on a supplementary tulpamancy resource and associated forum, Tulpa.io and Tulpa.io/discuss/.

Quilten October 15, 2014 Share October 15, 2014 Well, whether or not any given individual should is really just a matter of them judging their maturity and capacity to handle it. If they think they can do it, they might or probably should ask for advice and see if other people agree that they are ready. If so, it's up to them entirely whether to go through with it.
