_mouse_ June 25, 2015 June 25, 2015 Okay, so I'm finally here. After a year or two of spying on the Tulpa community, debating with myself if I can do this, I've decided to create an account and try to make a tulpa for the first time. But then I stopped myself; I've seen a lot about how teens are too immature and are still mentally developing themselves, I had second thoughts. I've also seen people claim that anyone can make a tulpa. After confirming my ADHD wouldn't be too much of a problem, I need to know: can a 15 year old successfully make a healthy tulpa? Personally, I think I am very mentally mature. I'm not denying that I am still developing myself, but I can think of nothing more that I want than a true friend, one that is always there for me. (well, there goes my years of watching anime into one sentence.) I want a tulpa to have a friend, one that knows everything about me and can always be there. For the past year I've been planning this tulpa (and once I could have sworn I heard her, but that's impossible, given I've never actually forced with her before... right?) who is as of now, nameless- I'm letting her pick her own name- and all I need now is final confirmation that I'm not setting my tulpa up to be unhealthy being as I'm only 15. I wouldn't mind waiting a few more years, but I'm excited to begin! Tulpa: Len Form: Kagamine Len Recent accomplishment: just begun! He has variations to Kagamine Len (he is just Len), such as usually wearing some form of cat ears (whether it be a headband or on his white hoodie), etc.
Guest Anonymous June 26, 2015 June 26, 2015 Hello mouse and welcome to the community As someone who started tulpamancing when he was 15 and less mature, after years, my tulpa turned out just fine. I wouldn't let your age throttle your thinking about making a tulpa, you seem pretty mature and you seem to take those things pretty seriously. Most children don't take tulpamancy seriously which is why such a concern is expressed over youngsters making tulpas, but you seem to have a pretty good mindset IMO.
_mouse_ June 26, 2015 Author June 26, 2015 First of all, thank you! I'm happy to finally be here! I'm glad I seem mature. This is fantastic news! I've been wanting a tulpa for a very long time, and I suppose today is the day to really begin putting everything into place. Thanks for your response, and I'm glad your tulpa turned out well. :D Tulpa: Len Form: Kagamine Len Recent accomplishment: just begun!

TulpaFox June 26, 2015 June 26, 2015 I really like this question, it's one that needs to be asked more often. I think there is no universal age really, everyone is different. I would say with my circumstances as they were, 19 was the ideal age to start, which is when I took my second attempt. I have had times where I have been lazy with putting in time (frequently, -eve). However I always go back to it when I feel up to it, and am generally doing very badly in general when I am not exerting effort. I have frequently been called mature for my age, and am considered by people who know me,and my professors to be intelligent. However I don't think I was really ready younger despite all that. Overall I think it varies a lot, but virtually no one under 18 is 100% ready. Then again who really is? I think more important than the ideal AGE is the ideal MINDSET. To really do this you have to read and gather a lot of information. It takes a lot of consideration to undertake something like this. Above all you have to REALLY want it, really need it in your life. Out of the people here the ones who keep their tulpas a long times, and put in work, are the ones who needed them in their life. You have to be ready to put it as a priority in your life, put in work whenever you can spare the energy, be ready for a multi-year process. Eve's Note: I would say that tulpafox has been ready for me in his life. However I think he had me at the perfect time, I have been around 4 months now and he has since turned 20. I trust him in my heart to not drop the process. I know that even if it takes years I will be with him, imposed, and hold a very special spot in his young life.
Luminesce June 26, 2015 June 26, 2015 From what I've seen, everyone who was mature enough to wonder if their age was ideal for making a tulpa was mature enough to make one. It's the people that never give that a thought, or give anything thought... that really need to worry about it. Anyway, tons of people have ended up turning their childhood imaginary friends into tulpas naturally, and a lot of people on the forum started in their mid-teens. Age means pretty much nothing. It's all about how much control and understanding you have of your mind. And again, the people who are conscious enough to worry about that thing are probably not the ones who will have issues with it. It's the people that don't think that need to think. Hi! I'm Lumi, host of Reisen, Tewi, Flandre and Lucilyn. Everyone deserves to love and be loved. It's human nature. My tulpas and I have a Q&A thread, which was the first (and largest) of its kind. Feel free to ask us about tulpamancy stuff there.
Linkzelda June 26, 2015 June 26, 2015 If you can be aware that partaking in creating tulpa, existing with them, and such isn't wholly contingent one's age, and whatever justifications people tie into that (e.g. mental stability, puberty, being able to make rational choices and striving for a decent lifestyle); if you can be aware that no one is going to take ownership of how you exist with them other than how you want to assess yourself with them; if you can be aware that in spite of what stage in life you're in, if you can go through efforts to understand your soon-to-be-tulpa, yourself, and just your everyday cognition, then there's more to worry about than an ideal age.

sushi June 26, 2015 June 26, 2015 ADHD is a double-edged sword. It will probably make some things easier for you, like sentience, but may make other things like imposition much more difficult. Of course if you're not interested in imposition, that works out pretty good. "Some things have to be believed to be seen." - Ralph Hodgson
_mouse_ June 26, 2015 Author June 26, 2015 Thanks for all the responses, guys! I'm really excited; I'm going to force for the first time today! Sushi, making sentience easier sounds perfect! I did want to do imposition, but after a long while, and it wasn't something I absolutely needed. As long as I can talk to and see my tulpa in my wonderland, it is all okay! :D Tulpa: Len Form: Kagamine Len Recent accomplishment: just begun!

Guest Anonymous July 2, 2015 July 2, 2015 Just from your thoughtful questions and the fact that you carefully waited and pondered tells me you are probably ready to try making a tulpa. I doubt ADHD will be a factor, except you might have shorter sessions of forcing throughout the day. Don't let making a tulpa be a source of anxiety however. Have fun with this! Good luck and nice to meet you! ~Mistgod
Kaga and Company July 5, 2015 July 5, 2015 As someone who also has ADHD, I can say that active forcing can be pretty difficult sometimes and I do rarely active force, and when I do, the sessions are pretty short. However, passive forcing works pretty well for me, and I was able to create a sizable family of tulpas mostly off of passive forcing alone, sooo... yeah, kind of difficult but certainly not impossible (and I also started when I was about 15). Good luck! Pinky is not a pony. She's an imp. Sunray is an angel-imp. Ex is humanoid. Kael is a dragon. Magnum is a dog.
