Aerys was made to be super-cheery, now she’s moody and rude, among other things

a few temporary personality traits to begin with are sometimes helpful as a starting point

I’d disagree; as Piano said, try to teach them your values, or values you’d like them to have, instead of telling them to have certain personality traits

2:53 AM

Values are more like morals and the such than personality

2:53 AM

Stuff that can be learned in a concrete way

temporary starting personality traits and teaching them values aren't necessarily mutually exclusive

True

I hate when I'm talking to someone and I get sonsucked in that install for hours

2:50 PM

Feels like I'm completely disregarding Nathalie

I do not think ignoring your tulpa for a few hours is too bad.

I wanna know how I can keep her invested

2:54 PM

Or at least make it so that I don't have to worry about her being alone

If you're a beginner, and I'm guessing you are based on the channel choice, I'd personally suggest not trying to consider online time and tulpa time interchangeable. I think you need dedicated legitimate offline time for tulpa development, especially in the beginning.

Oh I'm just used to being in here

2:59 PM

I've been at this for maybe a few good weeks

I still suggest this.

Gotcha

Is it normal for tulpas to not respond when calling their names out loud?

As young as yours are, yeah

3:17 PM

just keep talking to them and it'll start them up

2

Thank you, I was getting worried for a second

On that note sometimes I do feel like I'm forcing her name a bit too often

wot

Damn that's confusing

3:20 PM

Like

3:21 PM

Sometimes when I'm talking, sometimes I'll add her name to the sentence just to get her attention

I’ve been...I’d call it mentally exploring, I guess? And I sketched out what I’ve seen so far, probably not how one normally goes about planning their wonderland but idk, it makes me feel more at ease, especially since I can always just erase it and change it later...

11:01 PM

Something about this makes me feel really stupid though...

11:01 PM

Heh

I’m a fan

11:15 PM

Some people map out their wonderlands on Minecraft, which also works. I might do that too!

That makes me feel less weird, sounds like a good idea to me too

Ohh... intersting idea.

Hah. I'm glad that idea has been so helpful to people.

I still wonder at times what goes on in your brain when you bring back an old tulpa

12:38 AM

I remember having this convo before, but I just wanna know how it works, yknow?

12:39 AM

Like do those old neural pathways or whatever that you made before now open up again, or are new ones made?

One neuron can be part of many, many, different chains holding far more than just one memory

12:41 AM

As such, depending one chains are activated, previous pathways that had gone unused for a long time might get reactivated again

12:42 AM

It's like when one day you smell fresh baked cookies and bam! You remember being 2 years old running over to see grandma as she's pulling cookies out of the oven who you haven't thought of for a decade

I see! Is that why bringing back an old tulpa is generally considered faster than starting to make one from the beginning?

Because those neural pathways are already there

12:50 AM

They just need to be reactivated

12:50 AM

People find a better time re learning a skill the second time around

I wouldn't jump to conclusions based on things like theories about neural pathways, how neurons work , and so on. On a high level, where things you have already done can be observed to be easier to re-learn, we can speak, but on the lower level I am more skeptical.

So I have a friend who is also working on a tulpa and he is having some difficulty in trying to stay focused while active forcing, and being focused in his wonderland. He has these thoughts that and actions that pop into his head and they disturb him from active forcing. He's afraid that these thoughts and actions may hurt his tulpa. I want to ask if any of you experienced something like this, and what you did to stop it from happening. (edited)

the best advice I am aware of in that situation is meditation, but otherwise I have no idea personally.

Ok, so I was talking to my friend today and she said what I have sounds like a tulpa.

6:11 AM

I also joined tulpachat too, but she said tulpainfo was the best place around and I should come here for advice.

Tulpa chat sucks

Huh, I didn't actually know there was a chat server

6:13 AM

Guess that's why lol

My friend said tulpachat sucks too.

I am friends with your friend

Same!

Ok, neat

6:18 AM

Does anyone have good advice for the tulpa I have?

Depends what you wanted to know

6:19 AM

You should read a guide

Ok where do I get a guide?

6:21 AM

I cant say for sure what I want to know til I read that because I dont know what to ask for sure.

Kiahdaj's Absolute Guide to Tulpas

Ok!

Somebody spent a lot of time writing this up!

[Yeah, dude. He did, and he meant to revise it years later, but never did.]

Ok, he should update it now!

[He left, so doubtful]

6:44 AM

Ok, it says you can have multitulpas??

yes, it is possible to have multiple tulpas

[Yeah, Les, want me to blow your mind]

Lol, maybe not!

[you know when you ask me why Im acting funny and being all serious and not funny and then I start acting normal]

6:45 AM

[thats because you caught us when Harley was up front, but youre used to talking to me, Angel]

Say what??

[Like, you know what I am talking about right, how sometimes when we first starting hanging out, you're like "hey why do you look all mad" and shit]

Mhmmmmmmmmm!

[yeah, that's because it's Harleen, a different tulpa up front]

Ok, so are you the tulpa or is Harleen??

[Uh, both of us, I guess. We are both tulpas]

Ok, but where is the owner of the body??

[Oh, we do something called "switching" where we trade who is using the body.]

Ok, how does that happen??

[Keep reading, that guide covers it]

Ok!

6:52 AM

The guide said that switching is bad.

The guide is referring to "long-term switching" i.e. permaswitching. It is rather confusing in this regard.

it's just saying you shouldn't use switching as a permanent thing

Ok, I won't do it, but what if my tulpa wants to do it for a long time?

I'm sure you 2 can find some sort of compromise

Would it be weird for him, cause he is a guy??

switching between opposite gender host and tulpa isn't generally a big deal

He wouldn't want to transition would he?? I am ok with him dressing up in men's clothes, but I dont think I want to take hormones for it if we did switch for a long time

[Well, I can't speak for him(you'd have to ask him for that). But transitioning doesn't seem like the kinda thing you do without the main fronters agreement?]

Ok, but I would want him to be comfortable when using my body so what would he need to do??

You can also think of tulpas as recombinations of self, if that helps.

7:03 AM

In that case, most tulpas, since they ideally will develop to a level of complexity comparable to the host (owner of the body), will understand things like transitioning etc

Ok, but I dont know what that is supposed to mean. Lol.

And will probably not decide to transition
