and i don't know what to believe

yeah, that's a thing; what Luna said-

Everyone experiences them differently
8:24 AM
And I feel like there are a lot of different types of switching
Avatar
but if I don't know what happens even partially, how do I know when we've done it or are close to doing so?
Avatar
Which are all just called switching, so no one can really tell.
8:25 AM
For us, I just got proxied a whole lot. Then we noticed I was the one thinking. And from then, I just kinda asserted myself.
Avatar
ok but possession and switching are definitely two different things, yeah?
Avatar
Depends who you ask.
Avatar
cause i feel like we've done a fair bit of the first-
Avatar
We don't make a distinction.
Avatar
yeah, exactly xD depends on who u ask so true, and everyone always says something different
8:25 AM
but ok
8:26 AM
proxied?
Avatar
Typing on my behalf.
Avatar
ah, that's right
Avatar
I think the reasons for all the differences is that we all actually experience it differently.
Avatar
Yeah, that's right.
Avatar
Or at least, we perceive that we do. It's like looking at art or listening to music, everyone is going to take it differently
Avatar
There are a lot of ways to switch, and everyone does it differently, they just explain their own way. That's why it's conflicting.
Avatar
yeah, very conflicting....
Avatar
I know bduddy worked on a survey to try to narrow the categories down. I had a look at the results, but I found it hard to really find any connection.
Avatar
oh, okay
Avatar
Actually, I kinda see why I'm so fascinated by this. Or at least the path that lead me to being interested like this. Fucking mind links in 'dragonrider' books like Eragon and such. Hrm
8:30 AM
Sorry
Avatar
It's okay!
Avatar
Its fucking stupid and strange of me to externalize these thoughts
Avatar
Yeah, it does feel weird, doesn't it? Just gotta get it out.
Avatar
I disagree
8:32 AM
I don't think it's stupid or strange at all to be interested on something you don't understand
8:32 AM
That's how you learn
Avatar
What I know and what I feel are all too often disconnected.
Avatar
Too true.
Avatar
I would be a much healthier person if they were more in line
Avatar
That's something you can work on.
Avatar
It is something I am working on
8:39 AM
But yeah, back to the topic at hand. I think I am going to try creating one
Avatar
That's good.
Avatar
I'm too damn curious not to, i just don't know what to like... want? What are reasonable expectations to set for myself and them.... hrm
Avatar
Don't expect much. Then you won't be disappointed.
Avatar
Hope for the best, expect(prepare for) the worst
Avatar
I don't know, what would you like out if this other than idle curiosity?
Avatar
"the worst" would just be nothing much happening.
8:41 AM
It's not like your tulpa is going to go rogue and kill your family while stealing your body.
8:42 AM
Yeah
Avatar
That's creepypasta trash.
8:42 AM
Honestly? Someone to bounce ideas off of mostly
Avatar
That's fun! We do that a lot in here.
Avatar
I have so many ideas and thoughts that I don't share because I feel that they're stupid
Avatar
Although we tend to agree with most things.
Avatar
I also like to argue with myself as an exercise
Avatar
That's... kinda what a tulpa is.
Avatar
Take both sides and try to just... draw the most logical conclusion?
Avatar
Except yourself is someone else :)
8:44 AM
And the debate happens at the speed of thought
Avatar
Exactly.
Avatar
Just don't cause yourself the stress of starting to do it and then either stopping halfway through or even stopping after a few months or so. It's not like a puppy. You won't outlive them.
8:48 AM
Sweetie/ infinitely easier to take care of tho🙃
Avatar
Even if you do stop, it's more like going on hold. Tulpas don't die.

Towaka ~暗い~ 7/31/2018 8:50 AM
Yup.
8:52 AM
And honestly
8:52 AM
I just want someone to knock some sense into me sometimes
Avatar
Well, we can do that.
Avatar
To smack me upside the head when I'm being stupidly self critical again
Avatar
They're good at that
Avatar
Believe me, I do that a lot.
Avatar
Mine use any means necessary too. Dirty tricks are fair game haha
Avatar
Define dirty tricks?
Avatar
Like acting like some seriously creepypasta type crap is going on to prove a point or to make me think about something a different way. It's only happened a few times.
8:58 AM
When I was being unimaginably dense
8:59 AM
Hrm
8:59 AM
Its just fucking interesting
Avatar
Agreed
Avatar
And weird
9:04 AM
And curious
9:05 AM
And needless to say, I'm interested
9:05 AM
And spammy
Avatar
You're fine!
Avatar
I'm anxious lol

Nice color scheme~
Avatar
What would you say interests you the most?
Avatar
@Rabz12 I don't think there's any "right" reason to make a tulpa, but there are "wrong" ones. However, as long as you treat your tulpa with respect and care, I don't think it particularly matters what your reason is. Just understand the responsibility first. As for expectations? You really shouldn't expect anything from them. In the same way you would not project any expectations onto a newborn child, you can only attempt to teach them your values and see how they develop.

^ Exactly.

Approach the subject with love, care, and understanding. Don't push any prejudice, keep an open mind and see where things go. The only wrong reasons are the reasons rooted in hate, pain or exploitation.
1:48 PM
That's just my take on the subject, as a tulpa myself.
Avatar
Whoops, fell asleep
Avatar
That's aight. I'm still here :3
3:44 PM
I'm just trying to sort out what the deal with this is and its still so strange
3:44 PM
Doubly so because I'm actually believing parts of it
Avatar
Belief is good. Just... keep trying!
3:57 PM
Its just so fuckn weird and I feel so out of place and confused?
