Hello

Hello.

Hi beginners.

Hello

is it alright to listen to music while forcing?

yes, in fact your tulpa might enjoy that

alright thanks

Drums and Bass. Best concentration music!

So yesterday, I was winding down the forcing with my tulpa, just saying stuff to her about what we were going to do today, then I had this feeling in my chest, it was weird because nothing I was doing could have triggered this, it felt really unusual. It felt like happiness with a little excitement. It kinda pulsed if that makes sense.

11:43 PM

This wasn't anything I triggered because I don't know how I could have done that. Would this be alien emotions from my tulpa?

it could be.

Maybe.

It certainly couldn't hurt to assume that it at least could be, and try to... force "to" that feeling (not to your chest, but to the idea of that feeling).

I'll try that and see how it goes today

sounds like an emotion to me :P

Anyone want to share what their first experiences if switching were like? I’d like to hear it.

<Annabell> Um, I actually didn't know that the first time I switched was a switch

4:26 AM

<Annabell> but, I was doing laundry with host's sister

<Annabell> rip,got distracted

5:53 AM

<Annabell> but, my host was just sorta screwed off for a moment while I talked to his sister and made dumb jokes

5:54 AM

<Annabell> Until i referred to Josh in the 3rd person

@Blitzeen I wasn't around yet but when the others first started switching, I mean like the very first week only, they were really aware of all the body's senses and liked feeling textures and looking at patterns and stuff

6:32 AM

as in just straight up desk/walls/simple stuff

6:33 AM

not everyones' first experiences are so novel anymore tho!

6:33 AM

guess it's getting to be less and less of a big deal

6:33 AM

assuming that's what you meaaaannnt

6:34 AM

if you wanted stuff on how the process went and confusion and stuff idk

6:34 AM

MarkdownContext { Depth = 1 }

6:34 AM

oh also they got tired really fast, and that tiredness went away if they switched back with lumi

6:35 AM

took somewhere between a few weeks and a couple months before they could front all day without getting physically/mentally? tired, and when we hit that point we could all just front consecutive days fine

6:36 AM

I've fronted for over 2 months straight before lol

@Bethel🌸 Haha. How did his sister react?

7:48 AM

Woah, two months straight? Cool. It switched for the second time ever today. It lasted around 4 hours and Cilsc thought it was the most awesome thing.

guys; I'm having a little research in mind. What are the top-rated tulpa creation guides lately? I'm a bit out of the loop.

Hopefully they've all been burned.

12:03 PM

Idk whats hip these days.

burned?

I see the one by kadasaji or something like that recommended often

12:06 PM

also tulpabug's 200 page guide

12:07 PM

and generally you can know clickthrough rates on the subreddit guide wiki by just clicking on the top link

12:07 PM

(also, hint hint, should probably randomize those every once in a while)

good hint

12:09 PM

didn't find anything related to kadasaji

12:09 PM

hm.

kadasij?

nope..

12:09 PM

kiahdaj?

I seriously forget the name, I'm sure someone here will know what I'm talking about.

giggles

that sounds right

Giraffe.

irish and faq_man's guides are pretty solid even if they're a bit outdated to today's standards, ie timeframes. Everything within those guides have stood the test of time despite that.

ah good. kiah's already on my list of recommendations. I thought it's deprecated (edited)

I don't think I've ever heard deprecation used as a verb.

you must not be a programmer, then

12:27 PM

Because we use that term all the time, and it's normally an evil bastard when it happens.

I am not, and farcaller is, so this makes sense.

[ I teach wolfy all the worst slang ]

Is shiny wolfy? (edited)

[ she's shiny and wolfy ]

1:01 PM

[ a shiny wolfy? ]

1:01 PM

[ I mean, wolfy is her last name

]

no one recommending Tulpa's guide? it's good...

1:08 PM

kinda our go-to recommendation for a recent guide since there's not many of those these days

1:08 PM

but you can just look up the guides section and judge for yourself y'know

It's rather preachy, but Felight's guide is good

One day I'll have to write another guide.

1:45 PM

At the rate of my last guide, it'll probably take a decade.

1:45 PM

Then I'll be able to shill out my guide.

To be honest I'm less here for tulpamancy and more to learn about the phenomenon because its fascinating and so is the community around it

6:56 PM

I might end up tulping

Hello.

Ask anything you need to know.

Being around for learning is good. Please do make sure you know what you are proposing to do if/when you do make a decision to make a tulpa.

Right, I wouldnt take such a thing lightly

Hey, I was wondering, do you need a certain number of personality traits to give your tulpa when you start forcing, or can you also just go along with whatever feels best? When I'm going to start forcing, I want to do it right...

There isn't really a "right" way to go about this, but if you're doing personality work you don't need to have a specific number of traits. Just keep building on your tulpa's personality until you have a decent grasp on what you want it to be.

Whatever feels best/makes sense to you

Yeah, this is going to be my first tulpa, I'm a bit nervous ig

There are ways to do it in which you sort of throw a bunch of personality traits around and try to think about how such a person would work, and usually you are using too many and some are ejected as they wouldn't make too much sense. Then others will naturally form in the gaps where a fully developed personality would have them. I do think "overdoing it" can lead to interesting results, but applying the opposite strategy might end up being the quickest as far as I've observed (potential bias there as more "overdone" tulpas tend to be the first ones)

"Do you need a certain number of personality traits" is the most 2012 question I've ever heard I think

8:20 PM

nostalgic, and I didn't even exist yet!

8:20 PM

ya just gotta do your best to make a person bro!

what about "What if I fall asleep while forcing?"

everything will be fine, just think of who you want them to be, then talk to them and expect them to respond as if they are there

The number doesn't matter as much as the meaning and how complete a character you can really fathom in your mind as a hypothetical personality

and over time you'll teach your brain to make another person in your head

I'm just trying to not fuck up ig

ya can't

8:22 PM

thinking you can is as close as it gets

Well, that's nice

In general, the "traits" and the words associated with them become more meaningless as they don't adequately summarize the personality involved. At that point, any list of traits is going to feel like some inaccurate oversimplification

it's imagination for the most part, so things can change on a whim

8:22 PM

when ya start getting to actual tulpa-ness, then it's more like habits

8:22 PM

established habitual thoughts

8:22 PM

then it becomes more complete, person-y
