idk man all I know is that I had ZERO human contact outside of my own parents for most of my life until then so I just snapped one day and created my human contact
As for your situation- it's fascinating to me. Most tulpamancers don't create imaginary friends at a young age and continue to work with them up into adulthood.
My headmates and I would not be content with a fantasy setting, we are used to the idea we can control the body and hang out with each other. But we don't have parents or lore that's similar to a regular life. It's just a different way we go about things

did any of your guys' tulpas go to school with you?
Usually a tulpa being "unable to communicate" is typically a matter of mindset. If you don't think your tulpa's words are their own, then it will cause delays in progress.
Given that, the biggest warning sign would be a lack of progress. If you haven't made progress in a month, but honestly even in two weeks, you may greatly benefit from changing your approach to vocality.
If you're feeling frustrated with your approach now, reassessing may help. With another tulpamancer's help I realized that parrotnoia is likely self-inflicted anxiety. I wasn't completely clear on the cause lately, but I suspect it's a combination of challenging the idea not everything in your head is you and expectation of an alien or exceptional experience. I believe understanding why parrotnoia happens may help ease those fears.
I have shared my thoughts on this before, I'll find a link

I think there are 2 main problems that can appear:
1) A person doesn't put an effort create a character or to interact with them manually - it's how people struggle to get their first automatic responses
2) A person depends too much on dissociation and automatic responses and gets lost when for some reason those automatic responses are lost.

Some people just refuse to consciously control their interactions with their tulpas once they get automatic responses.
Still, some people just believe that tulpa must be completely separated and you can't just control them consciously once they talked back. But ultimately, it's what you as a person slash stream of consciousness do.
