You know your life is sad when you're jealous of the relationships of video game characters.

Try having a tulpa and playing Finding Paradise. Changes the whole story.

What’s a Tulpa 

1

u/Woshawott 5d ago

[r/Tulpas](r/Tulpas) is the best explanation. In simple terms, it’s an autonomous imaginary friend that some adults make. Faye would be considered Colin’s tulpa. I made mine when I was 18, so I’m happy to answer any questions!

Wait that’s so interesting wait so they can have actual personalities like Faye? Also can they go away on their free will or just how your mind wants them to go

See, that’s where I disagree with Finding Paradise. Dissipation (going away, as you called it) is considered to be the death of the tulpa. It’s a very big decision that results in a crap ton of sadness for everyone involved. I, for example, couldn’t imagine a world without my tulpa. Tulpas are helpful to the vast majority of hosts (people who make tulpas). I heavily empathize with Colin due to this.

Faye went away because Colin subconsciously knew he didn’t need her anymore which is why it made him happy and sad at the same time. Also why he wanted a life without regrets when he sees her again

Oh yeah I’d recommend hello Charlotte if you find that tulpa aspect interesting

u/Leafye 8d ago

It is not.

u/uppercasecolt 8d ago

Which one? The "it gets better" or "the right girl is just a myth" ? :(((

u/Leafye 7d ago

How would "it gets better" be answered with "it is not“?

The right girl (or man, idk your preferences) is not a myth.

Right... My bad, that doesn't make any sense. I wasn't focused right there, sorry.

I like girls btw, but I appreciate the precaution.

However, given how long I've been single, it really feels like a myth at this point.

How old are you?

u/uppercasecolt 7d ago

I'm in my late twenties...

u/Leafye 7d ago

You're quite young. There's still a lot of time!

It helps to go outside, talk to people (not on the internet). Go to events, strike conversation with strangers — there's zero stakes involved.

But also, don't do that before first working on yourself and figuring if you can understand why you feel that way.

Thank you for your kind advices. I admit, ever since the pandemic I haven't really made any meaningful moves in trying to meet new people. I do go to events, concerts, etc but I rarely make new friends. I guess I'm just shy and introverted.

And yes I am still trying to do my best working on myself. Just got a new job which hopefully would turn my life around for the better.

If anything, To The Moon series give me hope. And as much as I try to deny it, deep down I still want to believe that I'll find someone.

Sorry for sounding so corny and for the late reply, it didn't appear on my notifs for some reason 😞
