Tulpa arnt like inviting some angel/demon/spirit into your life. They are you. They might have different agendas or whatever. But they are still you. If you arnt a bad person, they arnt either.
The way it was phrased was "instead of going "Oh cool he has a person he can always talk to" i was like "holy shit you have this cool THING going on in your brain"
"But they are still you. If you arnt a bad person, they arnt either." Not really. A tulpa can be very different from you in terms of opinions, beliefs, ideals, etc, and therefore could be a "bad person" if you yourself are not
I think that if a tulpa turns out to be bad you already had those bad thoughts inside of you. It's like getting s***-faced drunk and then blaming all your bad behavior on the Alcohol the alcohol had nothing to do with it it just lowered your inhibitions enough that you did the stuff that you would normally think well maybe I probably shouldn't do that but that doesn't mean that you didn't want to do any of that stuff(edited)
Well, not everything a tulpa is or can become has to be apart of yourself. They can develop traits and mindsets that you have never had or never would develop
I couldn't think of really anything else that fit. Sorry if you don't think that it does fit. I'm not saying they're the same thing I'm saying people use all sorts of things to make excuses for their own poor Behavior

And I think it's rather immature and irresponsible to do so
The thing with tulpas is that you do not control their thoughts and actions. Sure, you can have some influence in how their personality turns out, but you have no direct control over what they say/do(edited)
You have the capability to control yourself while under the influence of drugs although it's more difficult than it is when you are sober. You can try to control a tulpa, but at the end of the day they can only control themselves.
Look. I'm not saying it's impossible for a tulpa to be negative. People get pissed off and do stupid stuff all the time. I'm saying that leaving that open like that saying it can happen leads more people into oh well that was just my Tulpa that wasn't me at all.

@Rabz12 well yeah. When you do a mind-altering drug it's going to alter the mind. That's all the Wonderland is. It's just a place that you build inside your own head
That's what I find interesting. Though my tulpa have made the same request. It was illegal at the time and that was their concern. I like to see the differences between the host and tulpa.
I've talked to another one of my good friends about it a little bit and basically told them to keep an eye on me and be the 'off button' for if I'm acting too strange or weird, but beyond that I'm interested enough to try it

I'm just nervous about what Ill end up with, and anxious about actually following though
My worry is more how it'll change my prospective on things? I'm afraid of beleving in something like this because it feels so fake, yet one of the people I trust the most is expierencing it first hand and it sounds amazing. . . so. I don't know

It's conflicting, concerning and confusing all in one
It hasn't really changed anything for me really. I'm more open to certain concepts perhaps, but it's probably nothing more than the time without them would have given me.
As said, having someone there for you is very important.
The other problem that I have is that I don't even really love myself? How am I supposed to love an entity that I create from myself if that is the case?
Well for one. Neither did I and still don't love me, I guess you would say. I love them. For what they have done for me, what we have been through together. For putting up with me all this time. Because I'm even still mostly up front. It's only a very recent thing learning how to switch.

It's made it easier to accept being me though. If that makes any sense
