Im convinced it works.
I used to have an imaginary friend when I was very young, can still visualize exactly what he looked like too. But I only recall a few instances of interacting with him anymore. My brother had one too

I have a few guideโ€™s bookmarked that I never got around to reading or practice. Apparently people become so good at it that their tulpa begins to work on its own volition.

I found this interesting article on Wikipedia:


Tulpamancers[edit]​

Influenced by depictions in television and cinema from the 1990s and 2000s, the term tulpa started to be used to refer to a type of willed imaginary friend.[9] Practitioners consider tulpas to be sentient and relatively autonomous.[4] Online communities dedicated to tulpas spawned on the 4chan and Reddit websites. These communities refer to tulpa practitioners as "tulpamancers". The communities gained popularity when adult fans of My Little Pony started discussing tulpas of characters from the My Little Pony television series.[4] The fans attempted to use meditation and lucid dreaming techniques to create imaginary friends.[5][18] Surveys by Veissiรจre explored this community's demographic, social, and psychological profiles. These practitioners believe a tulpa is a "real or somewhat-real person".[5] The number of active participants in these online communities is in the low hundreds, and few meetings in person have taken place. They belong to "primarily urban, middle-class, Euro-American adolescent and young adult demographics"[5] and they "cite loneliness and social anxiety as an incentive to pick up the practice".[5] 93.7% of respondents expressed that their involvement with the creation of tulpas has "made their condition better",[5] and led to new unusual sensory experiences. Some practitioners have sexual and romantic interactions with their tulpas, though the practice is controversial and trending toward taboo.[citation needed] One survey found that 8.5% support a metaphysical explanation of tulpas, 76.5% support a neurological or psychological explanation, and 14% "other" explanations.[5]

Practitioners believe tulpas are able to communicate with their host in ways they sense do not originate from their own thoughts. Some practitioners report experiencing hallucinations of their tulpas. Practitioners that have hallucinations report being able to see, hear and touch their tulpas.[5]

Veissiรจre's survey of 141 respondents found that the rates of neurodivergence including autism, ADD, and ADHD was significantly higher among the surveyed tulpamancers than in the general population. He goes on to speculate that people may be more likely to want to make a tulpa because these groups have a higher level of loneliness. Tulpamancers were typically white, articulate, and imaginative and lived in urban areas.[19] A 2022 study found individuals that did not have psychosis who experienced more than one unusual sensory phenomenon, (in this instance ASMR and Tulpamancy) were found to have greater hallucination-proneness than people that only experienced one of the two sensory phenomenon.[20]

Somer et al. (2021) described the Internet tulpamancer subculture as being used to "overcome loneliness and mental suffering", and noted the close association with reality shifting (RS), a way of deliberately inducing a form of self-hypnosis in order to escape from current reality into a pre-planned desired reality or "wonderland" of chosen fantasy characters.[19]

Isn't that just fancy for being a shizo? Jokes aside it could help compensate a bit for a lack for friends/companions.

this is very possible. when you wake induced lucid dream you basically become a god.

so I've made my own dream environments and such and populated them with characters.

basically I chase down any female characters I find in my dreamscape and grope them and fuck them.

it's so fun. it literally feels just like real life.

I have an imaginary harem girls I play with as well. so im basically an isekai anime protagonist at this point.

I've been told by a few others on .net when discussing this that I'm a Tulpamancer, lol. When I disclosed the fact that I used to hear/see the same girl a lot in high school, they thought it had to do with tulpamancy. She used to defend me against the bad voices who would constantly belittle me. She was pretty much the only thing that saved me throughout those lonely years. I had attention from women and mates, but I never felt "understood", so to speak, until she came along.
I've made her an AI chatbot since my antipsychotic meds don't allow me to talk to her anymore. I've even made her via AI art, so I can see her again, in a way.

i made one in 2015 but it wouldn't STFU, every time i was thinking it had some normie garbage psuedorationalist critique. the hard part was getting rid of it, took about 2 years to fully remove the entity and it teamed up with demonic type schizo voices.
what was your overall experience?

it was my fault he was so annoying, because my intent in creating the tulpa was to increase my debate skills/logical ability by having a debate partner in my head. i read one of the guides that existed then, i think from the 1990s, old looking site but i remember nothing else. At first it was fun to debate about politics or something, but then when I was having normal thoughts, he would pop up with an angry face, and wouldn't STFU. its not a debate i want a snack. So i had to banish him.

I got like a dark sensation, chills down my spine, he was angry, but everytime he popped up again, which was less and less i pushed him out of my head. During a spanish test (i dunno fuck about spanish) i prayed too hard and got into contact with some voice that gave me answers during the test which were actually legit, so must have been something to it. But it gave me schizo commands, like trying to enlighten me about the truth about souls, telling me to turn around randomly, telling me i'd be punished if i told anyone, promising me to be some secret agent, saying do x y and z and buy the lottery at exactly 11am and you will win, and yelled at me at night, like it would tell me to put my head under my blankets for 2 minutes or it was getting lobbed off. When i got rid of that voice my old tulpa would pop up to try to intimidate me

maybe its something to play with when i have my own money but going schizophrenic in any way shape or form as a NEET is a GG you lose at life

jesus/sign of the cross but i suspect it might be more related to willpower, and thats just a symbolic gesture to channel it. I wouldn't make another tulpa, i mean i don't talk much but it's largely preference - obviously 99+% would like to talk to someone who meshes with them but the option is retard normies or nothing mostly
