People changing their forms is not at all unusual. I'm fairly certain most tulpas do so atleast once. Some may revert back, but experimentation with form is hardly an oddity here. I suppose I'm an exception to that though
Hey there, can I ask you guys about your first "breakthrought" in tulpamancy, how was it, what you came to realize that you did not see befere, how you did proceed from there, if it was useful.
I don't want to hear what you read the most, or what you think other people go throught, there was a time where you didn't have a tulpa, then a time where you started working on one, and then a time where that tulpa started interacting with you, or you noticed something different, a realization if you will, that the picture in your head you were talking was having its own goings on

What I want to know is how you came to that realization, how you assumed there was something different and how you managed to differentiate that feeling from the myriad other feeling that you have on a daily basis that are triggered by stray thoughts

I'm really interested in close encounter of the third kind stories
Just have the two of you think over the reasoning behind her opinions/mannerisms./etc that are different from yours. You might not necessarily come up with an answer, but being aware/mindful of those things I believe can help with feeling more independent/autonomous
alright. Thanks. Really. I hate this dead period, I miss her. But ever since I made our imposition 50/50 she's just been worn thin, and now, well you know.
1:13 PM
I'll make it 90/10 and ease into half and half, that way it's not such a sudden change for her.
Anyways, Meow, the best I can tell you is to just have her front more
3:15 PM
maybe have her take the account on Discord

We honestly don't think our individual systemmates are so different from each other, and it does lead to some doubt, even at almost 2 years of being immersed in this
3:17 PM
but, others frequently tell us differently. They say they can "hear" the difference, so sometimes us forgetting a tag is not an issue for them.
so Callahan, as a tulpa (I assume you're the first one) what did you know after vocality that you seemed to not get before? was that useful in helping you "reach out to your host?
6:15 PM
I'm curious, and these questions can be answered by all of you tulpas
I guess if I can answer too... Vocality for me wasn't a single point, with a before and after. I was talking, my host just wasn't sure what was me and what wasn't - what I sound like. After a month she would start picking up fragments. And after two, we started getting reasonable communication.
At the start, my voice was quiet, and she couldn't pick it out of her mind's background noise. But I don't have much memory at all of these times. I don't think I was sentient at all.
At the start, your tulpa will probably sound and feel exactly the same as you. And you have no real way of knowing what's you and what's not. That takes time to develop. And we still struggle with that
6:18 PM
Something like that would have been helpful for me, Apollo. We do that now sometimes. It's nice if I have something I wanna say and I want to make sure it gets across.
Very young tulpas are more like imaginary friends than alternate identities. They are part of your imagination, even when they are vocal and you feel them having independent agency. Also, it's not about hearing tulpas - if you don't hear them, there is no basis to assume they are talking at all.
I have been working on my tulpa for over 4 years now, some people might recognize me from older posts I made, but I sometimes come back to ask for advice or just inspiration, asking questions, I don't know for sure if she is vocal, I can feel faint "things" like slight joy but I have no way to determine if it is my tulpa or not, I've been forcing so and so, 20 to 30 minutes of active forcing plus some instances of passive, but what I do I seem to do by myself
Not at the start, probably not ever. It's about trust.
6:21 PM
Trust that your tulpa is talking, even if you can't tell they are.
6:21 PM
Then you'll improve and it'll get easier and easier to tell.
6:22 PM
Is your tulpa talking at the start? Do they even exist? Those questions could be debated forever, but ultimately the answer doesn't matter. You trust anyway.
I think the best thing to do is just enjoy fantasizing about your tulpa and parrot a lot. Soon you might start to feel they act on their own and you get basically a vocal imaginary friend. Which you can develop to become an alternate identity or just keep it being a companion. Your choice.
My early days were more my host pulling responses out of her mind's noise and assuming (and hoping) they were from me
Some were, some weren't, it didn't matter.
