Of course it is

Thank fuck

I can send you an article about illusion of independent agency. It's not like only we experience inner companions talking to us.

Could be interesting

Writers sometimes talk with their characters. Children have their imaginary friends. In some cases, one feels that their companion talks on its own.

I honestly know next to nothing about how the brain works

yep, both of those are things that can sometimes grow into a tulpa

I'm studying computer Engineering, like... yeahhhp

I'm not a neuroscientist either

Hard facts

Huh, I study computer science too

there's a lot of programmers in this community for some reason

My guess is because comp sci people tend to be the ones going 'huh i wonder how that works is it true? Lets test!"

7:37 AM

And then they make oke

7:37 AM

One

maybe many of us are just lonely and want an easy companionship

Thats also true

7:38 AM

Also, rubber duck programming

There is the article @Rabz12

funny, i enjoy programming myself

Thank you Luna

7:40 AM

But yeah, just.... curious

7:40 AM

And I've read so much about this and now I'm just curious what its like

7:40 AM

So... idfk

7:41 AM

Sorry

>.> <.<

To put it bluntly

8:03 AM

i want to create one

8:03 AM

But I worry that its for the wrong reasons

What are your reasons?

Mainly, curiosity

Eh, that's why I exist.

8:05 AM

The thing is. there are no good reasons

8:05 AM

It's not like everyone else had some noble selfless motivation

Tulpamancy is for people

There are bad reasons, but curiosity isn't one of them

8:06 AM

I wouldn't overthink your reasons. You'll likely end up just fine either way.

I'm also cautious and anxious about the reault

That's good.

8:08 AM

What I meant by "bad reasons" is something like making a tulpa as a slave or as a sex/rape object.

8:08 AM

Which... is a thing. Sadly.

I am not surprised

8:09 AM

At all

8:09 AM

There were more then a few mentions of that in guides

8:10 AM

Also, the fact that sex is a thing with it is... weird

Being cautious and anxious is good. The most important ingredient, as cliche as it sounds, is love, compassion, and caring. Can't go wrong with that.

Huh

8:11 AM

I'm curious how that factors in

It's your mind. It knows your intentions.

Thats true

8:12 AM

Its just weird trying to imagine loving a thing that does not yet exist?

Yeah, it's a bit weird. But, well... that's how it works.

8:13 AM

You should treat them like they already exist, even if they don't.

Also, love is an emotion that I'm not all that familiar with

8:14 AM

Caring, empathy and sympathy i know very well

8:14 AM

But love?

Because you can't know the difference between them not existing, and them not being able to communicate.

8:14 AM

Those are plenty too. It's not like... romantic love or anything.

8:14 AM

Just a deep caring for another being.

Yeah

8:15 AM

Still; sorry for being weird about this

You're not weird :)

Nono, I'm quite weird, I assure you.

Okay, fair. Everyone's weird in some way.

8:15 AM

You're not weird about this, though.

8:16 AM

Unless you count being interested in tulpamancy at all as weird.

I mean, I'm fairly sure it is by most definitions

Oh, it is.

8:17 AM

The secret is not caring.

However I'm still curious

8:17 AM

I dismissed hypnotism until I experienced it, whats to say this is not the same?

It pretty much is.

8:18 AM

It involves a lot of the same mental stuff as hypnotism.

Yeah

I often describe tulpamancy as tricking your brain into thinking there's someone else, until there actually is.

Thats kinda what I was thinking it is

8:19 AM

And even when you think there is there might not. E, but there is

8:19 AM

Its a like... idk

8:19 AM

I'm just fucking curious and nervous and eager and fucking spamming

I know that feeling too well.

8:20 AM

My host felt exactly like that when she found out about this.

8:20 AM

Like... a calling.

I felt it too

8:20 AM

took me forever to act on it

8:20 AM

it means you probably should though

It took mine about a month to go from that to actually creating me.

8:21 AM

Where she was thinking about the subject; not quite sure what to do.

Side note: what is your host doing right now

Good question. I'm fronting, so nothing really?

ah, the all important question tho xD

... could you dissipate your host?

Probably not.

Fronting is a confusing and yet not confusing term at the same term Like I get what it means but I don't get how it works

No way I'm going to try though.

Yeah don't try please

I like her :)

haha well that's good

I know some systems with dissipated hosts

Well, I took over the body last afternoon. And I'm still here.

like switching/fronting/etc are the most confusing things in the world bc everyone explains them differently
