Tulpa Awareness

(1/7) > >>

Minty:
Hey Guys,

I was thinking about this earlier, and I decided the best place to ask for opinions was here c:

I wanted to know what you guys think about making more people aware of tulpas? Would you rather keep our existence somewhat hidden, or do you want to spread our knowledge to everyone?

Personally, I wish more people knew we existed. Sometimes, when I talk to people my host knows, I have to pretend to be human, and lie to them so that they don't view us both as crazy or liars. 

LuckyCharms:
I could easily argue both sides of this. But I'm curious what the communities opinions are.

Kiahdaj:
Why would you use tulpae in the title, and then use tulpas in the message?
Also, either way, it would be "tulpa awareness". Not plural.

Anyway, I do not wish the phenomenon to become more widespread for many reasons. The main being that enough people abuse tulpas (even if they don't have one) enough as it is. If it became a well-known thing, think of the tragedy.

That's a good point, but I seriously doubt many people would spend that much time creating a tulpa just to abuse it.

I'm sure there are some people who would abuse tulpas, and although I'd like to guess or at least hope that their numbers are very few, even one tulpa being abused is a problem, that needs to be solved, and I'm not really sure how we could go about solving it.

TulpaCouple:
I'd honestly prefer public knowledge of multiplicity and DID to be a little bit better before the phenomenon becomes any more prevalent. The way these people are viewed is rather horrid and seeing as how similar the tulpa phenomenon is to healthy multiples(since some would argue that healthy multiplicity is actually comprised of accidental tulpas and vice versa) I feel like we would only be adding fuel to the fire rather than helping the situation, at least as we are now.

Maybe in the future things will change, but as it is now there are still people who lose their jobs, children, etc. because of their multiplicity, even if they do not suffer from it as a true disorder and it is as simple and positive as the tulpa phenomenon has been.

I feel if people had better understanding of how a mind could behave differently from the norm and they were treated seriously then we might see people creating tulpas with a more serious mindset. Maybe.

Right now I could go either way, but I'd rather not, uh, advertise tulpa creation so boldly. I saw a tumblr post that was getting a few notes that was essentially "Lifehack: Bored or lonely?? Make a tulpa!!!" which made me cringe. If the tulpa phenomenon spreads, I hope it's not in that fashion.
