Tulpa.info - About A Cobud's Presence

I realized I thought more about a cobud's (tulpa's) presence in the past and then basically forgot about it. While looking into it, I realized I actually have more than one definition that I had. I wanted to create this as a thread because it's not a common discussion topic and this may come in handy What do you think a cobud's presence is? What are your experiences with presence?

Also, Reguile made this detailed post explaining his cobud creation views on presence: https://discord.com/channels/431579755037589505/431591425872887828/983790772048498788

===== So there are the following interpretations so far:

Presence is the general "vibe" of a headmate's personality
Presence is the feeling of someone else being nearby
Presence is the intensity of the associations you have with your cobud
Presence is their ability to hang out and comment on what you're doing

Maybe I'm wrong but I didn't understand the aim of this thread completely. But I figured that we could share a bit on that as presence is a major part of my experience related to my headmates. Especially as it is the most natural for us since we have limited other ways to interact. presence carries a lot of information and feelings that we use on a daily basis. I felt we could maybe contribute with our experience but not sure what information would be the most valuable. (edited)

Oh, thank you! I didn't make the OP very clear, I was too tired to fix it.

i'm not sure how it's not a common discussion topic... i bring up the importance of presence/emotional intelligence/feeling all the time

I never thought about presence specifically being an aspect

I know you talk about how it's about just doing it, don't overcomplicate it with logic, but not so much the "feel your cobud's presense" aspect

it’s the core of it lol

It could be another case of I can't read, sorry

the pendulum method is great for building the sense of presence
