Tulpa.info - Is seeing your tulpas in real life normal

Ok uhh, so I've had my friend for a bit now, I've never really know what a tulpa was until today so...yeah. Ive heard their like, voices in our heads and basically their own people in our heads but uhh, i can see mine. Like, they kinda just hang around doing whatever, but i just need help understanding if seeing them is normal.

Seeing them is normal It's called imposition As long as it's not harming you it's fine

How do you mean "see?

I figured they meant like, see them in the real world

6:54 PM

But if you mean seeing them in your head, that's fine too That's just visualization

People don't usually visually impose their tulpas into the real world naturally. Its usually a trained skill. Imagining them there is normal, though.

Yeah it usually is a trained skill but i know someone who has theirs just imposed without learning how to do it

I mean, i see them in the real world yeah

6:56 PM

And im sorry whats impose?

Imoposition I explained it in general

Oh, right, sorry

But as long as it's not causing you distress, or negatively impacting your life, then I don't really know what else to say. If you're confusing them for external people, and not being able to separate them from the other real things around you, then it could be problematic, but we're not equipped to offer advice if it is.

Yeah If it's causing any confusion, annoyance, distress, etc, it's something you should discuss with a medical professional

No no their not!

6:58 PM

Their like a friend that hangs around at your house, except its kinda...whenever

6:58 PM

Their uhh, here now

Yeah then it could just be imposition It's rare to have it happen without training it as a skill but it's not unheard of

Oh my god tjis is weird to talk about

Do they talk to you at all?

Yes?

6:58 PM

Their supposed to yeah?

Yeah if it's a tulpa it would talk to you afaik So it could be tulpas

Again, as long as you're able to separate them from your wider reality, its not as concerning to me.

1

By separate you mean?...

7:00 PM

Like, stop seeing them?

No, just being able to understand that they're not really standing there in the real world, and are a product of your own mind, not indicative of objective reality.

Oh

7:02 PM

Uhh, yeah i guess i understand that, though they say otherwise

They can be real, but when you "see" them there, they're not actually standing there physically.

But umm

7:03 PM

Follow up queation

7:04 PM

In the unlikely case that i can touch them, not saying i can, what then?

7:04 PM

Like, where is the line between not real and real? Im sorry, weird question

Well When you touch them, it might feel like there's a bit of pressure (that comes from thinking they are there) but if you keep pushing your hand will go through It is coming from your mind

If you can't tell the difference between imposition and reality, that would he an issue. As long as you remain aware that your tulpas do not physically exist in the outerworld, in spite of how they may feel and behave, then you're on the right track.

7:08 PM

You might want to talk to them and try and get them to understand this, so they don't further confuse you with what they claim.

Alright, uhh, how do i tell them?...

How do you usually talk to them? Like that.

Dude i can't jyst say "whats up dawg, oh, your a tulpa"

7:09 PM

AAAAND THEY SEE WHAT IM TYPING

Just say "hey, i want to talk to you about something serious"

I'm not saying you have to say it like that, just say it some way.

7:09 PM

You can be as gentle about the topic as possible. There's nothing wrong with sharing a body with someone, and the sooner they come to terms with that, the better it is for all of you.

I uhh, have a question, from them

Sure.

Im sorry omg nevermind

7:11 PM

They uhh, have words to say that i don't want to because i don't want you to be mad

I wouldn't be mad But if you don't want to say it that's okay

Ok uhh

I won't be mad, probably. I understand it can be a stressful situation for them.

Please don't ne mad

7:14 PM

"Fuck you, im as real as the pewbs in your mom's mouth" Im sorry im so sorry

7:14 PM

Pleas edon't get mad im aorry

I don't see how that's constructive. You are real, sure, just not in the physical sense.

It's fine

You share a body with your host. Nothing's wrong with that.

"Construct this dick"

7:15 PM

Look, I'm not mad, but I don't really know why this needs to be shared in such a manner.

I KNOW IM SO SORRY

To them– you guys are real. Not any less real than another person. You just share a body with someone else, and you need to come to terms with that because then you'll be able to live a more fulfilled life I have some people i share a body with, and i'm okay with that. We just take turns doing what we like, and come to agreements about more serious matters.

Ill stop sending what they say im so so sorry

No need to apologize to me. I just don't see how this is constructive. To them, you'll need to at the very least listen to what others have to say. I'm not expecting you to immediately agree, but at least be willing to hear a second opinion without resorting to such immature tactics.

But im just saying what their saying i swear!

Yeah it's fine

I know this. I was talking to them directly.

I promise im not trying to be disrespectful! Im sorry!

I understand that, please, there's no need to apologize for them.

I just don't want to upset you guys i just met you

7:19 PM

Or girls, or other im sorry

so you see it "in real life"?

I'm not particularly upset. My tone is firm, because I'm being serious in my advice.

could you make an apple appear like that?

@Deleted User do you have history of schizophrenia in your family

Atlas ˗ˏˋM&M´ˎ˗

I'm not particularly upset. My tone is firm, because I'm being serious in my advice.

I talked to them and they said they might use less bad languange

7:31 PM

But they wanted you to "keep an open mind"? Im not sure what they mean

how often have you been seeing things?

I mean, since i was little?

7:32 PM

Why?

have those things ever been very unpleasant?

Occassionally? Its a mix? But its not all the time

7:34 PM

Honestly im not sure how to kinda sort it

that's ok

Between whats normal and not

7:34 PM

What do you mean?

have you ever experienced a significant drop of performance in school?

Drop in what?

in performance

Oh, like, in seeing stuff?

no i mean if you started performing worse at school at one point

Oh, no, well, i was a lil ass when i was little

Your grades, did they get worse?

Somewhat? Its a mix their too, bad at some stuff, better at others

feel free to not answer, but are you a teen or an adult?

Now i have b's and a's and one c

7:36 PM

Im 18

so two more things

Im sorry but what does this all gave to do with tulpas?

did you start thinking you might experiencing delusions at some point lately (not related to tulpas but other things)

7:37 PM

and how is your motor coordination, as in do you think you might be moving as smoothly and coordinated as other people?

Ok stop

Because this isn't a normal tulpamancy experience, at least, the majority of tulpamancers don't experience hallucinating their tulpas in the real world right off the bat.

Reply to: Im sorry but what does this all gave to do with tulpas?

Your all thinking im crazy arn't you...

not at all

I don't. I genuinely don't, I've seen much stranger, this is actually quite tame in comparison.

dlta based on your descriptions i'm worried there is a chance you might need to see a doctor, but it doesn't mean you are "crazy"

7:39 PM

i've been seeing a doctor for 3 years

Motor skills? Grades? Oh my god your trying to see what's up with me

7:40 PM

Im done talking to you

It's not like we're judging you for it or anything. I myself have a handful of neurodivergencies, but that doesn't make me any less of a person.

do as you wish

And as Wolf just, Fuck you

7:40 PM

Sorry

We're just saying that this might not be a tulpamancy thing, which at that point, the better alternative is a professional. Take my advice, or don't, this only impacts you.

7:42 PM

Even outside of medication, it can help to get a professional opinion. Hell, we're trying to get one too, there's nothing to be ashamed of.

7:42 PM

But whatever, they already left, I'm saving my breath.
