If you are concerned about it, and you think you might have heard a response but aren't certain, simply state that you aren't sure if she responded, and continue. Apologize that you can't hear her clearly if you must.

2:36 AM

The same goes for a kind of response where it isn't clear if it is her, or if it was a random thought of yours.

That is very sweet, Nathan.

You're making that clear through your actions, Nathan, and you seem like a very responsible host so far.

I do agree. Keep in mind, she should be able to feel that you want this, and should know this.

Indeed.

I'm trying my best for her

Fortunately, owing to the fact that it is in the same brain, she will have knowledge of what you are doing and why you are doing it.

That's good

2:46 AM

Wait so this whole time I've been apologizing for my lame jokes for no reason? (edited)

2:47 AM

And I don't have to explain everything I know to her?

she understands you, doesn't mean she'll like your jokes.

You don't necessarily have to, but... it is interaction.

2:50 AM

In addition - having semantic knowledge and understanding the context of that knowledge are two entirely separate things.

I feel so dumb right now

This is why I recommend showing them the world, showing them how you experience it and what you are sensing so that they can get that context.

Alrighty

That said, it does sound as if you're doing fine.

Um

3:08 AM

Just one more thing

Yes?

I need some help. dm me if u can

You need to let non-friends message you.

Indeed.

3:21 AM

@Deleted User ...would you rather PM?

how

Go to settings, then Privacy and Safety.

3:23 AM

It should be at the top.

You know how you say you should let your tulpa speak with other real people? What if there aren't any others around that won't call us crazy? Would online interactions like this count? (edited)

i'd never do it

I don't say that.

but I suppose if it's speaking to someone who knows about how it works

3:27 AM

then sure

I think online interactions would count if you got them to type. Or typed for them.

though i doubt I'd find such a person irl.

Oh. I do say that.

3:28 AM

Do it in secret.

Yes, they could speak here.

I suppose I should clarify; when I said "you" I wasn't talking about any one person in particular, just most of the people I've spoken to

I often wonder how tulpas speaking here do their thing. Host just types what they wanna say, or they take over the hands? Still a newb ;p

I would certainly recommend it.

I've meet people where they had their tulpa, soulbond, other personalities talk to me irl. Only at college though with an old friend.

It can be either, Funk. That or flat our switching.

I've only spoken from my "tulpa" once. I typed what he was aying.

It differs, from proxying (host typing what the tulpa says) to possession (tulpa controlling the body to some extent) to switching (tulpa totally switching places with the host so the host is basically a tulpa)

And I think we switched once when he filled out a quiz? Not sure. I'm new to all this terminology

3:33 AM

Thanks for those definitions, Reisen

I often also wonder what the host feels like when switched. Assuming they're out-of-body.

3:33 AM

I let Shadow and the others talk to other people but typically it depends on if they actually want to and what they are going to say.

My host simply does not exist, when we switch.

How does switching feel for ya'll?

@Wyvern Regarding speaking to other people - you can have them type to others, say on here. You could also let them switch or possess the body and speak to others via voice chat.

At least, she does not exist unless I spend some focus just on keeping him around.

3:35 AM

That is far too difficult, though, so I seldom do it.

haha. sounds like you need to learn visualization separately

3:35 AM

depending on how much control one of my guys has over me it can feel like I'm backseating in my body

If you do have somebody that is willing to be respectful and accept the difference on a surface level without being disrespectful and decrying the basic idea of the concept without further information, having your tulpa speak to them can be extremely beneficial - though please do remember the three S' - Safety (from abuse), Security (financial), and Support (which you have here).

Ya i don't think my family would be very understanding of this community, so voice chat might be out of the question until I can get some real privacy (I feel like an undercover agent rn)

3:40 AM

I bet they would call us all crazy

It's likely but it really depends. My mother already hates my thing with Shadow so I refrain from talking about him with her.

It is certainly an option not to tell your parents if you can't foresee a positive outcome.

I see. I do think you can gauge it before you tell them. Mention reading about it somewhere, for example.

Though, my mother in general is just an unaccepting and mean person no matter what. (edited)

3:42 AM

yeah

They aren't mean at all, I just don't think they'd be able to understand that some people want a voice in their head

Mother, for example, does not mind and even asks to speak to one of us in particular, often.

That's imperssive

3:44 AM

just like my ability to misspell everything

Sadly I have no other family members >_< so there really isn't anyone who can possibly know outside from the internet.

Friends could know.

3:44 AM

I have two people that are friends, who do know.

3:45 AM

One of them actually created his first tulpa with my host.

3:45 AM

They did it for the first time, together, I mean.

Whats a good way to meet other tulpa-y people out there, That we could talk to in person?

My online friends know, my ex who I don't physically see anymore kind of knows as well as my former friend.

I do not know.

umm

3:47 AM

Unless you're ok with meeting people in person online... that's pretty much one of the only ways realistically. I mean... I met a physical person who was into the same things at college but that was just from pure luck.

I am not so sure. Telling other people, may find other's who do this as well.

3:49 AM

For example, I told a friend, Josh, and he admitted to having this, but not knowing the name.

3:49 AM

I do think you could find traits that are common in tulpamancy and look for these people and tell them.

Hmm, I want her to be able to talk to others but I don't want to be labled crazy bc that might interfere with our ability to lead a stable life

I just remember the guy from college talking about supernatural things with someone and I decided to confront him. So... ease drop on people's conversations? ;P idk, might not be a good idea. (edited)

Well I'm more of the wait and watch type of person anyways. I always prefer knowing my situation before plunging in head first

3:52 AM

So figuring people out shouldn't be too dificult (I hope)

3:53 AM

I just don't want to screw up and ruin things for both of us

Oh. Apologies for my delay in responding again.

3:54 AM

@Wyvern I bet they would call us all crazy

3:54 AM

This is precisely why I mention the three S'.

3:55 AM

If it isn't safe to tell somebody, don't do it.

Yea, I guess I'll just keep my mouth shut for now

Host told his ex. She took it well enough at first, but freaked out at the idea of switching and possession

3:58 AM

They aren't together anymore for unrelated reasons

Did they find out before or after?

Before

4:00 AM

Essentially said what goes on in my hosts head is his business as long as he was always him on the outside

4:01 AM

She didn't want to talk to us at all even over text

Well, that answered my next question

4:01 AM

Hmm

4:02 AM

Was she just refusing to, or was there some reason?
