Is /r/tulpas immature?

Yes! I subbed because initially I was curious but I have to say I've been unimpressed a lot of times with the discourse here. The only other time I commented here was to disagree with another user that essentially called the OP, who by their own admission wanted to create a tulpa to help with depression/anxiety, abusive because they were creating them just to "use" them. I replied it was ridiculous and dangerous to put a struggling existing human's feelings equal an imaginary being and was downvoted to hell lol.

I think there can be a lot of personal power in creating identities that have strengths different from your own (channeling a confident persona in certain situations when in fact you have social anxiety, for example) but acting as if they're a REAL person that can be abused is a bit fuckin much for me man.
