An online friend extremely close to me wants to make a tulpa

Accept that they are lonely, probably a little mentally unstable, and proceed from there. At that point you'll need to decide how much the friendship is worth to you.

I've seriously considered trying and read up on them a bit before. Overall, I'm glad I didn't go through with it, but I can understand how someone might want to, and feel pity for them. You have to be extremely lonely to consider something like this.

He's so close to me, and I dont want him to fuck up his brain.
I'm just so scared of losing him. I don't know what to do...

tell them they don't need an imaginary friend when they've got you...

skype them...

see them in person...

you say extremely close, these would be simple things for people that were extremely close....

Good luck.

i'v been there

i started reading about it because the people on my old town were shit and i felt really lonely

but then i moved by myself to another city and started going to a new school, turns out most of the students that came from other cities are like me hell some of them seem to have been in higher levels of loneliness, the good thing is that we all can talk with eachother now and i think im doing pretty good socially now

skype him and tell him to go out, there are all kinds of people out there, so there must be someone like him, he deosn't need to make a tulpa he needs to find friends

Bump...

I'm so glad I was never able to focus enough to create a tulpa.. Do whatever you can to be there for your friend, maybe even visit them if you can.

Maybe Buddhism is a good choice for that person. After all, philosophy is what allows us to deal with life for good or ill.

If it's a 4chan tulpa that's not growth, that's wallowing in one's own broken-ness.

Beware of IRL encounters with crazy. They don't get better but perhaps you can help much longer with less risk online.
