Neither of us was saved from the whole-body impact of such an event, we both had the same flashbacks and everything. However, the personality can determine if a reaction causes greater suffering due to added issue on top of the very basic trauma-response.

I don't know if you were acquainted with me at the time but I ran away and refused contact with my host for fear of reliving the event. My responses were extreme in comparison to his, as I felt much worse when I had to experience any symptoms.
Ah. Well, perhaps that's for the best. My personal development moved in a radically different direction after that event, and proceeded to result in rapid change.

I still do not believe that, for example, a legitimate psychological disorder can count as a component of a personality. However, vulnerability or resilience to certain problems can be a personality component and result in a disparity of severity between host and tulpa in certain situations.
There is some online community of individuals who are essentially people who consider themselves "multiples" who identify the foremost cause of the development of alternate personalities as a psychological response to trauma. In many of these cases, there is a personality to serve a sort of "protector/guardian" archetype that exists as the personality of greatest competence in handling or coping with the worst situations. I believe in their experience, those personalities are less impacted by bad things overall and have greater stability to "protect" the host personality from enduring those experiences.

I am not certain of the "truth" of their claims, but it seems common enough to have a sense that personality can at least have some influence in how disorders are dealt with, instead of having a personality in which the disorder is exclusively manifesting.
It is quite interesting, if a little strange to imagine.

I have always had a desire to see how other communities differ from ours, especially with core beliefs as well as the idea of "switching" as in some groups it is almost universally identified as an unconscious process as well as complete memory separation even if there is an attempt. If anything, I think a collection of experiences is a good idea to have a single data source to observe all the ways by which people claim their body can be controlled by multiple identities.
That is very interesting indeed. Part of my curiosity is that I was made without regard or knowledge of other multiplicity communities, but after a few experiences I adapted myself to somewhat closer fit a "guardian" archetype much later in development. I don't know if this is a common development in non-traumagenic personalities or not.
Syfar didn't need any protection from anything bad. Nor did he ask/make me like this. I just knew I really wanted to protect him, and thought myself a Guardian even before we knew that was a term. -w(edited)
not at all, I'd say. It's an archetype that's found pretty much anytime some interaction between multiple consciousness is described. From the guardian as someone who watches over a child, to the guardian figure in DID or tulpa systems, to guardian angels etc.
It's not a term that I have seen used in the tulpa community particularly, it seems to have more meaning in other communities where there are alternate personalities generated by some more spontaneous process, normally as a result of trauma.(edited)

I just wanted to be competent in emergency situations after feeling quite foolish for my response to my first near-death experience. That way, it wouldn't be my host's job to bail me out if I get into a bad spot, and I could even do something extra to help him out of bad spots too. I don't know if that's a normal response or not, though, even though it seems normal enough for other communities to have its own designated archetypal role
"Best way to tell if someone cares about you is how annoyed they can get with you.
So in Tulpa terms, I guess finding a way to irritate them is a fantastic way to check for sentience."

cause of this advice earlier.
5:34 AM
sounded good to me but im retarded and forgot my tulpa cant get irritated by me in the first palce
Earlier I encountered the tests "ask your tulpa for something random" and "ask your tulpa to surprise you" and when I wondered if I was just parrotting, I was told to open text editor and have a chat there and see if it makes sense and it did and sentience was confirmed.
@Deleted User Your self-identification is your own, and nobody separate will know it as well or as specifically as you.
9:05 AM
Also, no. Tulpas do not have their own physical bodies separate from the host's. That is literally part of the point - they are partners/companions that exist in the same brain as the host.
I can take control forcefully if I need to, just as Skye can take control forcefully. However, we have quite literally no need to do so unless there is some trouble the other is experiencing.

...in any case, I must sleep. Good night. Be good.
