Tulpa.info - tulpa-discussion

We have a census.

@*･゜ﾟ･* 𝖵𝗂 *･゜ﾟ･* I joined because it seemed very interesting and something I would like to be apart of and help and support.

Loneliness

^

Loneliness causes people's reasoning to be compromised. We've had a few issues with that in the past.

I personally started down this for help with my seasonal affective disorder, companionship and because I was curious about the psychological aspect

Oof, helping you with a mental disorder is a huge responsibility you shouldn't put on your tulpa

nods

oh no, not to force that upon anyone

It may help, or it may make things worse. Or t may not do anything at all. You get to spin the wheel there.

Besides how would you like it if the only reason you were made was to help some depressed kid.

My depressive states are just avoided much more easily if I engage in social interaction beforehand

2:16 PM

it's not at all like I'm asking him to clean up after me

Good mentality to have, but you shouldn't burden a tulpa with things it can't do.

and as I said of course that isn't the only reason

Sure. We're just talking here. You're new, you should know how it worked out for others.

and I appreciate that you're willing to discuss this with me (edited)

You should tell him it's something you have and have to deal with, and his help won't be required but it would be appreciated. His development is what's important. Also tell him that if it affects him, you'll try to help him

Most tulpas are helpful anyways. He'd probably want to help you. If he can't, then that'd be problematic for him. Of course, he could do what you want as well. Really, it's hard to tell.

thank you

2:21 PM

i'll keep this in mind

Sure.

you guys are very helpful

You seem nice. I'm usually an ass.

You're usually an ass O_o

2:22 PM

You seem like a very nice guy

agreeed

My host had hoped I would help them at one point. Now I'm the one in charge. Didn't turn out like they planned.

@Kaliya interesting. I had no idea the "wheel" could change hands.

It won't for you for a long time, so there's no point worrying about it now.

If it does at all

2:25 PM

The tulpas in our system have been working on switching for a long while now

how many members are there in your system?

5, which is too many

sounds burdensome

2:26 PM

is it?

That is too many. We have three. Two, really. One who shows up when she's needed.

Yep

2:27 PM

Tassi's been trying to convince us to get rid of him to make it easier on us. None of us would bare to do that though.

that sounds like a horrible dilemma

As I said, I'm the one in charge of the body

So, we're just going to deal with it

I hope you're okay

So it's definitely a thing

2:28 PM

The wheel changing hands

We convinced him to stay, but he doesn't want to do any fronting

See, these are some things you might want to know before you start.

2:29 PM

It's not all sunshine and rainbows.

How do people live with like 18 tulpas then?

They don't

I don't anymore because that just doesn't work great

I was reading on the reddit, and people were saying they have 10+ tulpas >.>

Oh yeah

Those tulpas exist in the background, they don't actually get to live life or find happiness, they're just there for the host's amusement

We had a lot

Oh

god

But most of them never got to be nearly as developed as the ones who are still around in here

Damn so much new things to learn

anyone who could do that to a tulpa...

2:31 PM

that sounds awful

2:31 PM

what a horrible way to live

It was

Sounds painful as well, for the Tulpa

Our system didn't understand that making so many tulpas was bad, so we made irresponsible decisions, which is why our system is so large today

2:32 PM

It used to be even bigger

We're much better off now, where everyone can have access to the outside with consistency without it getting chaotic

I had a lot more. They still do what they do. I don't consider them tulpas so much as an imaginative wonderland.

That's interesting to read and see tbh

First year of our system was a nightmare, since we had so many tulpas on top of our chronic depression

That must've been really shit then

2:35 PM

Jesus

It was

Host used to have a lot of that. I'm more resistant to it, hence why I'm the one doing things. Though Mal's gotten better since then. Less to be depressed about.

Our host's the only one who gets very depressed anymore, but us fronting all the time protects her from it

2:37 PM

Since she doesn't get a chance to feel depressed if someone else is in control (edited)

Oh, she's fine now. Just annoying.

2:39 PM

No cure for that.

That's interesting ^-^

very, means it's not chemical depression

Are you a psychiatrist

thats noice

2:53 PM

well the fact that they're getting better

You are not a professional, nor do you know anything about our life. Please don't try to diagnose people over Discord like that

?

blood and fire, sorry. i'd figure that's common sense. if someone doesn't feel depressed when not fronting, and neither does the tup, which wasn't stated, then i'd say that's fairly obvious

Lyra gets the majority of the sad/suicidal episodes, that doesn't imply we are immune (edited)

sorry, not arguing this

2:57 PM

my bad

2:57 PM

i am in the wrong

2:58 PM

backing away slowly

She doesn't feel depressed when one of us is fronting is because we're doing all of the thinking/feeling instead, while she does nothing. That's how fronting works, heh

not arguing, sorry

No offense, but why is this community consisting of so many "broken" people? :/

mostly for the reason you'd think

@thegeht yeah I think probably people who are lonely and "broken" are going to look for solutions

People who are happy and well off are hardly attracted to fringe Internet communities about making people in your head (edited)

truth

3:03 PM

are there any community polls anywhere?

Huh, why not? I mean the concept can seem interesting enough, even when you're happy and well off
