Huh. Never thought about it like that.

I will say though, my tulpa has a razor sharp wit when it comes to making jokes
Avatar
Both of mine like to come up with puns when I'm working throughout the day and it's hard to keep a straight face in public

Usually having and maintaining a tulpa ends up being a practice in mindfulness unintentionally

What’s the mindvoice like for you guys when you switch?
Avatar
Mind-- huh? Oh, uhh, I don't normally think in a voice (edited)

I do think in a voice for things like typing sometimes, and I try to make that voice like, a normal metropolitan American accent, the pitch is usually kind of high for a male but it depends on the context as well as the body already having a high pitch for a male in default.

That's a vague question.

Everyone sounds the same, switched or not, as "mindvoice" takes place in the mind. Lumi sounds like Lumi fronting or not.

Well, my mindvoice is different from host. When I think with words I sound like a girl and Mon sounds like a man. But neither of us has one established voice we always hear
8:28 PM
I think I was struggling with the fact that mine don’t have distinct voice differences.
Avatar
Oh, our mindvoices are plenty different.
8:28 PM
But they asked about switching.
8:28 PM
Distinct voice comes with time.
8:28 PM
Eventually it becomes really difficult to mistake anyone for anyone else.

Appreciate that. 😃

As a system with three tulpas 8 years old, and one 3.

it's the same during switching

Real voices can be different too. Not to the same extent, obviously.
Avatar
They always sound like me

in mindvoice or with the real voice while fronting?

Mindvoice

hmm, how long have you had your tulpa(s)?
Avatar
Theres no distinct differences. I get around it by looking at them visually for confirmation
9:30 PM
A few for years
Avatar
Doing the same thing for that long won't get new results.
Avatar
usually mindvoice differences would've developed by then, but oh well as long as you're still able to tell each other apart I guess it's not that big a deal
Avatar
If you want unique mindvoices, consider trying to work on that specifically. Try to hear voices as different, probably with some examples from real life (or videos/music, etc.)

Im.working on figuring out if i suppressed something a few years ago but currently all my extra attention is spent working
9:33 PM
When i can relax and get a new career away from retail ill be able to spend more time than i have been (edited)
9:34 PM
It works okay enough though. Its a lot easier when others talk to them too
9:34 PM
Break over bbl

I want to ask you all for some ideas on what "things" in the mind that we are aware of could have a place in being similar to or driving what makes a tulpa think. For example, associations like when you smell something and remember it. Or habits that might get you to think of your tulpa every so often.
Avatar
@Reguile I've got one: Certain topics that play a role for the defined or assumed personality of the tulpa.
8:00 PM
As in, e. g. I assume my tulpa to be far more outgoing than me (or it just develops this way for some reason) and thus it is triggered by social topics. Bad example, but I hope you know what I mean :D
Avatar
Yeah, I think I know what you're talking about
Avatar
Why are you asking for these things?
Avatar
See if anyone has any ideas that might be "out there" I haven't thought of yet
Avatar
Uhh, usually it is the internal goals and motivations for us. For example, I have a much more different philosophy of self improvement than my host, which means I think a lot of how to steer the body in this direction or what contexts would be suited to it
Avatar
Are you asking what wakes our thoughtforms from dormancy?
Avatar
That or anything else
12:16 AM
whatever makes tulpa "do"
Avatar
So, for example, I think about what to do in various situations that I know my host would act very poorly in, and I also take initiative during certain contexts where my strategy is superior to his
2:14 AM
Being stressed is one thing that brings us both to the conscious part just to make sure the best one for the job is selected to handle it
Avatar
how do you reason out who will do best in such cases?
Avatar
uhh, there is-- haha, how do I say, the core between me and cards decides. Like the real will behind both of us. The part that allows us to decide at all.
Avatar
the thinky bit
Avatar
It's like, impartially, one of us is better. That part picks based on which one of us will act in a way that benefits us the most in the short term
Avatar
short rather than long?
Avatar
Well, both are kind of the same in some respects. Choosing which one of us to minimize risk for example, or which to maximize enjoyment.

I feel bad for making a tulpa. I dont know if I made the right decision. I cant hear them yet but I didn't realize the consequences.
5:26 AM
I just wish I put more thought into it you know?
Avatar
Ruethus the Silver Sorceror 7/1/2018 5:26 AM
At least you didn't leave them unattended for five months because you didn't know they even existed
5:26 AM
If that makes you feel any better
Avatar
2dimensionalrodent 7/1/2018 5:26 AM
What do you mean?
Avatar
Ruethus the Silver Sorceror 7/1/2018 5:26 AM
I made Alna unwittingly
5:26 AM
And it took 5 months for her to get my attention enough that I figured out what had happened
Avatar
2dimensionalrodent 7/1/2018 5:27 AM
Oh shit. That must have really sucked for her
Avatar
Ruethus the Silver Sorceror 7/1/2018 5:27 AM
Indeed
5:27 AM
Fortunately, she seems to be fully developed at least
Avatar
When she got your attention, did you still had to figure t out yourself, or did she tell you what had happened?
Avatar
Ruethus the Silver Sorceror 7/1/2018 5:27 AM
I didn't even know tulpas were a thing
5:28 AM
After she showed up in one of my dreams and slung around spatial magic, I talked to my buddy about it, and he mentioned the possibility of having created something like a tulpa (we don't call them that, we call em familiars, but that's a whole other story), and then I finally did a mental "anyone there?" and got a response
Avatar
that happens, not all tulpas are deliberate
Avatar
Ruethus the Silver Sorceror 7/1/2018 5:29 AM
A couple weeks later I finally managed to visualize her form and now she's fairly omnipresent
5:29 AM
Sleeping on her rock and snarking from time to time
5:29 AM
And occasionally dreamwalking to mess with me
Avatar
hold on, what do you mean by dreamwalking?
Avatar
Ruethus the Silver Sorceror 7/1/2018 5:31 AM
Like, entering my dreams
Avatar
2dimensionalrodent 7/1/2018 5:31 AM
I feel like I am way too young to make a tulpa and I'm a little ashamed of myself for making one... I can't stop now because that would be cruel but I should have realized that these are real people with real feelings :/
5:32 AM

Ruethus the Silver Sorceror 7/1/2018 5:32 AM
At least you're able to empathize
5:32 AM
That's already helpful
Avatar
Its really good that you came to realise that. Be proud!
Avatar
2dimensionalrodent 7/1/2018 5:32 AM
Yeah...
Avatar
that's fine, at least you realize that you may have a problem
Avatar
2dimensionalrodent 7/1/2018 5:33 AM
I dont give a shit about me I just feel bad for her
Avatar
My thoughtform adventure started around that age and I wasn’t nearly as self-aware as you are. Cilsc and I are fine now, so I think if you keep it up, you’ll be fine.
Avatar
2dimensionalrodent 7/1/2018 5:33 AM
I hope so
Avatar
She’ll probably be understanding.
Avatar
ditto for us too, though our duration of plurality is probably a bit shorter than Ilsze's
5:34 AM
so don't worry
Avatar
2dimensionalrodent 7/1/2018 5:36 AM
Is there anything I should do for her? Should I keep going? She responds to me with body language. I dont want to hurt her and I just want whats best for her.
Avatar
Ruethus the Silver Sorceror 7/1/2018 5:36 AM
Just keep going
Avatar
I don’t know whether we should be identifying as plural or median still. (edited)

Show her all the love and respect and you should be good.

Ruethus the Silver Sorceror 7/1/2018 5:38 AM
Explain how you feel as honestly as you can manage
5:38 AM
(just general relationship advice in general there, actually)
Avatar
2dimensionalrodent 7/1/2018 5:38 AM
Ill do both of those things

Good luck.

2dimensionalrodent 7/1/2018 5:39 AM
Thanks

What made you want to make a tulpa initially?
Avatar
2dimensionalrodent 7/1/2018 5:39 AM
I wanted a friend
5:40 AM
Someone to be able to talk to about anything
Avatar
That’s probably the most common reason.
Avatar
2dimensionalrodent 7/1/2018 5:42 AM
Should I explain this to my parents?
Avatar
Ruethus the Silver Sorceror 7/1/2018 5:42 AM
I... would say that depends on the parents
Avatar
I do not recommend doing it immediately
5:42 AM
not without testing the waters
