"alterations"?

yeah things in speech that felt like they were original

you mean you were parroting, or...?

I usually end up parroting dialogue even if I don't mean to

err, what do you mean by that?

The definition of parroting is it being intentional

I will say something and without really consciously doing it I'll end up puppeting

How do you know?

Could be your tulpa

I don't think it is

why not?

I can kind of feel like it's my mind on the backburner and that the thoughts aren't very independent

well, it is your brain, after all. But for most people, that's how it starts.

5:12 PM

the secret is, at the beginning, you're not completely independent. But if you treat them as such, they will be.

I'll keep that in mind

"I can kind of feel like it's my mind on the backburner and that the thoughts aren't very independent" - this is highly typical and why I recommend not making assumptions. Time and experience helps you feel the difference more strongly.

Congratulations on getting a first definite response, @Deleted User.

Thanks

It's hard to not puppet when you're visualizing

It can be. Perhaps try to speak without while leaving space for responses, but not expecting them?

That's what I usually do

What Winter said. You felt that odd feeling of confusion, and you're so very close to experiencing "that" feeling.

Yeah it's very confusing

Still - give it time, keep giving them experience, and you'll see what happens.

How long have you had your tulpa?

(Today I turn 17 months lol) (edited)

Became 5 years old two days ago.

I have been around for... roughly 7 years.

I'm 23 days old... even though it feels longer. (I mean it was... nvm, long story.) -Wolf

we have time :3

I would, but we don't xD -w

I can't keep Nin9 (Nine, 9) in a single form. I know he's awake. Awareness is questionable, but I can't keep an image on him.

maybe he doesn't like whatever form he had?

He's digging the whole "floating ball of light" thing, but we both know that's not gonna fly long term. That's just supposed to be like an "egg" that we force him out of.

There is nothing wrong with using that as a final form.

7:56 PM

The 'form' is literally just an imagined visual that you and/or your tulpa identify with as a means of symbolizing communication.

The thing is, last time I made serious efforts to completely "wake" Nin9, his form cracked, like an egg. So I'd assume that eventually they'd change. I just find it a bit stressful that they seem to refuse a form at the moment.

8:04 PM

The mad blinking and mental acrobatics and feats of aerodynamics are cool and all, it'd just be easier to express thought with form with no voice.

well, if he likes it, why not just let him keep it for now?

Because I don't speak lightning bug.

8:09 PM

All in a pursuit to understand him where they are, not some selfish stubbornness. (edited)

you share a head. I'm sure you can find some way to understand each other.

can anyone tell me how to get a soulbond?

Ryukil, you should check this site out - http://soulbonding.org/app.php/about

thanks, I think I did see it but forgot, haha.

11:42 PM

but I'm obsessed with a fictional character, so perhaps soulbonding is a better option anyway

Are you the guy who made that post to the subreddit?

r/Tulpas - How does soulbonding work?

1 votes and 0 so far on reddit

yup

hah, I thought that was a funny coincidence

yeah, haha

11:48 PM

when would one consider a tulpa sentient? Sorry all, I don't want to bother you with this again. I think I have a young tulpa though, and just abandoning her seems pretty terrible. maybe I could put her in stasis?

You'll get varied answers on that.

yeah. the one experience I had may have been just "my imagination" anyway, but I understand that's essentially what tulpae are

why would you abandon her?

not that they're not real, but they kind of operate on the pathways of your imagination

11:51 PM

ha, partly because the tulpamancy community suggested I put a hold on things

oh, that's who you are. Well... perhaps the answer to your latest question will inform you. Unless you have a seriously metaphysical viewpoint and believe that fictional worlds actually exist, there is no real difference between soulbonding and creating a tulpa based on a character.

ah. soulbonding is more metaphysical?

11:52 PM

I guess it's sort of implied by the name, kek

yes. I believe the original theory was that you were "actually" bonding with the "actual" character.

ok...interesting.

11:53 PM

I guess it's like the "walk-in" tulpas people have

well, sort of. I believe "walk-in" was also a semi-metaphysical term, but that's not really the case now.

alright. yeah, I have no clue. Anyway, perhaps I should consciously put her in stasis or something. assuming she's there at all :/

well, I think you know my opinion already.

I don't, haha

well, I posted in several of your topics.

is your name there Diana? Think I remember, just don't remember what you said.

><

11:58 PM

my username there is bduddy. Diana is my tulpa.

ah kk

I tried, multiple times, to tell you that I don't think you'll have any issues with your OCD, except for the ones you make yourself. But you seem to be unable to not do that.

no, I do agree with that.

11:59 PM

one poster here said some things to freak me out, saying I don't really have OCD and things like that, and that kind of made me stop.

12:00 AM

not to blame the person, just saying that was what made me sort of decide to just stop.

Are you PMelol?

yep

I was there, that other guy was pretty bleh. Welcome back, it's nice to see you back on.

anyway, I did tune down the frequency of my posts, haha.

12:01 AM

didn't really want to annoy anyone. But OCD can make you doubt everything. Especially when it's something new and totally alien to me like tulpamancy, ha

Oh there's no worries with post count, like I said, you're concerned and that's okay.

haha. yeah. I'm pretty sure I realize the fear of a tulpa taking over my body and making me commit crimes is totally ridiculous

Mhm. Don't believe that fear-mongering.

Even if they were capable of doing that, it would be pretty gnarly.

but maybe some people misunderstood that OCD can make you worry about stuff like that..."harm ocd" etc. It's in any book on OCD damn it!!

I think what many people, including me, were trying to tell you, is that having and worrying about intrusive thoughts is not so unusual after all, and it's not a bad thing.

gnarly?

12:05 AM

yeah, agreed. I can imagine many people having intrusive thoughts while making tulpas since the whole thing is thought-based, I guess. not to worry anyone :/

What is a soulbond?

According to .io's glossary: "A system member who has the identity of a fictional character (fictive), from the work of someone either inside or outside the system that has been adopted into one’s own mindspace. Can overlap with tulpas or walk-ins."

@Ryukil Nin9 is technically several months old now. So, I'd personally say that as long as you don't forget them, they're as present as you want to be. So a form of stasis it is., I guess (edited)

@Jack o' Nin9's well, I certainly like that idea.

like I said, the term originally had more of a metaphysical connotation.

It's all based on belief, anyway.

Soulbounds are more metaphysical, yeah. .info primarily focuses on the psychological aspects of things.

Ok @Ryukil a tulpa wouldn't do anything to harm it's host it would harm it's self. If that helps

question!

1:12 AM

I found a guide I really like, it's the 24 hour one and I'm wondering if anyone has any thoughts here
