Tulpa.info - tulpa-questions

That sounds funny. Minus the musical torture of tulpa

Indigo/ the ironic thing was that, as much as Apollo didn't like the song, it actually ended up helping him front better whenever it was stuck in our head

3:53 PM

Indigo/ who knows why

I don't know how exactly it's meant to be though, so I can't tell if we're actually co-fronting or not... I'm just- or we're both just... kind of... not sure... Which is probably not helping

4:06 PM

I can't tell if it's me or him and neither can he

Well if you legitimately cannot tell who is up front sounds pretty much like what we go through when doing that. Otherwise I would know if it was me or the tulpa. When co fronting I still feel like me, but also like her too, she experiences the same thing she feels like me, but also her. So at first certainly I didn't know who I was. But the first time that happened to me was after an acid trip years and years ago and we were stuck like that for about a week until we could figure it out and get back to normal.

4:18 PM

I'm also not trying to say co fronting is the beginning state of a switch. It's just that was how we did it.

Alright

Others we have talked to havnt mentioned this co fronting thing at all but they still said they are able to switch. (edited)

Alright so I'm kind of new to this whole tulpa thing and I'm getting kind of skeptical as to whether or not this is some enourmous troll that's too good to be true

Indigo/ it's pretty true to me

It's a million words strong.

It's pretty true to me as well

That's like two lord of the rings trilogies of trolling.

Anything specific that you would like to ask about?

Well I actually did go in with quite an open mind but looking at some reddit posts it's kind of hard to know if I trust it especially with like people saying they haven't gotten results for a year and then some saying they already have results like a week in, and it seems like I'm not the only one skeptical... a t all. While I still do believe in it for the most part I just wanted to get some other's opinions on it

6:33 PM

And not just with the amount of time but it also feel like some people are just roleplaying

ah ok, well you'll get much more reliable information from tulpa.info (the forum and the discord) than you will from the reddit posts

No offense to any of the other communities. But I've gone there I've looked and I've pretty much never gone back.

6:33 PM

This one is a pretty solid community

Well yeah figures cause it's reddit of course

Too many people seem to be trying to treat it like some sort of game

yeah :/

You know there's other sources of scepticism than trolling.

idk man I still think it's pretty believable especially with like over 10,000 leople claiming to have some experience I think that it might just be the community :/

Had I not experienced what this is, I would be right there with the people calling bs. Sounds totally fake really. Especially when you hear about it from something like Reddit or something like that

and looking at the census saying that apparently a lot of people found this kut through 4chan

6:40 PM

I think it's really just how everyone talks abouf it, as you said, like some game though, but I guess I'll learn if I end up with a tulpa some time from now

@Fyre its basically halving off a part of your own conciousness and letting it grow into its own thing

There are plenty who create tulpas by accident without having any knowledge of the community's existence. They later find the community and say something alone the lines of "I have been doing this for a long time without knowing what it was"

simplest way i can put it

Oh I know what it is

So, it's far from a community isolated phenomenon

That's true...

6:43 PM

I wonder how they found it out though

Random internet searches.

A lot of the time they find it through searching the internet for things like "adults with imaginary friends" to see if anyone has had similar experiences

Plurality has several communities.

pretty sure the majority of people found out about it on 4chan back around 2012

Oh right of course

/mlp/ most likely gave it popularity

That's not true.

thats how i found out about them

Yeah I didn't find it that way

when i was 10

A large minority find out about it through 4-chan

Right

then i shit my pants about it and forgot about it and just remembered it this year

i found out when someone said they had a tulpa i searched it up found the sub reddit

I found it out when I was like really into lucid dreaming when I was about 12

If it is treated like a game, what's the game?

I think they meant like a roleplay sort of or generally just creating it just for fun and games

6:48 PM

and still treating it that way

Taking a practice seriously and having fun with the practice aren't mutually exclusive

I know, but that's not what I'm sayig

6:50 PM

It's just some people forget they have to do both

6:51 PM

The host's enjoyment is very important to creating a tulpa, of course, but it's also important to take them seriousl y too

I'm one of those people that got one without knowing what a tulpa was. Just fantasizing spending time with a fictional character in my head until one day she started talking back. So you don't need to know what you are doing. To do it.

huh

6:53 PM

Well anyway I think it's less about where you're coming from and more about how you treaf tbem

6:53 PM

sorry my spelling is getting messed up

Indeed.

6:53 PM

You can go back and edit posts to fix that

I would but I'm too lazy

You don't have to, it's an option though

Eh I mean it's comprehensible for the most part so I don't think I need to

Lol I wish that we were devoted enough to trolling that none of this was real

OOF

Would have made it easier on me for sure. Damn near had a nervous breakdown when it first happened

Like don't get me wrong I love tulpas, but it would just be cool if people had that sort of determination

that'd be the most misplaced determination ever though

if that happened to me my first reaction would be "NIBBA WHAT THE FUCK" @Lillyshins

nah but I think I've moved past the trolling for the most part, doesn't really seem any more likelt that everyone is trolling than the possibility that maybe people are actually telling the truth

I guess so :p

Yeah I took it... Poorly. To say the least

7:02 PM

Things are good now though.

7:04 PM

Any questions about the process or anything?

no not really

9:21 PM

I've actually done quite a good amount of research

9:22 PM

although it's kind of hard to start active forcing sessions because it's like starting a conversation for me

9:23 PM

but like once I acthally starf I have quite an easy time keeping on

9:24 PM

narration sorry got my definitions mixed up

9:25 PM

but yeah apparently I spent like 90 minutes talking outloud without even realizing it

@Fyre If anything, it would be people who are mistaken or lying for attention, not people trolling to bait or waste other people's time.

10:28 PM

That being said, I was also very skeptical to start, but after speaking to a lot of people here and reading up, I believe it is probably genuine.

Yeah same

10:33 PM

But yeah that's what I was worried about because sometimes when I read other peoples' posts I feel like they're just trying to roleplay as opposed to actually having a headmate and telling about their real thoughts, if you know what I mean

10:33 PM

basically sometimes it just sounds fake and forced as hell

I'm blind.

11:46 PM

It never sounds fake.

11:46 PM

It just sound noobish.

11:46 PM

sometimes.

hello to everyone

hello, and welcome

my foremost motivation for joining was to ask a question, because i cant find anyone asking this before

fire away

can i communicate with my tulpa in a language other than my native one? natively im polish but i find it easier to communicate with them in english

11:41 AM

though it feels like it would cause some trouble later in the future

yes. any language you understand, they understand. they have access to all the knowledge you have

ah, i see, thank you
