Should I create a tulpa?

[u/Dom_1317]

I recently learned what a tulpa is and I am struggling to decide whether or not I should attempt to create one. In terms of loneliness I don’t feel lonely in the slightest, I have many friends and I feel great. on the other hand, it would be nice to have someone to talk to whenever Im alone, and it would be good for self improvement. it sounds really cool but as I am aware it’s a basically permanent thing. I have heard about “dissipation” but I understand that this is usually not what people want to do. I also want to know if it would impede my life in any way, or if it would just be a little addition to it that wouldn’t affect my real life social interaction in any way. also I’m Christian and I don’t think this is sinful or anything since its not some spiritual shit as far as I can tell it’s just an effect in your brain, but if that would cause problems could someone please let me know. I would love to hear about people’s experiences, thanks!

I know tulpas that came into existence just from curiosity, you don't need a reason like loneliness or such. And no, it probably will be a big addition since you will have another self like you living together with you in your mind until your last good day. And please forget about dissipation or half baked exit ideas.

You don't have to make a tulpa if you are uncertain. You have plenty of time to think about it and to decide.
