You risk paranoia when parroting, and occasionally, when not parroting

4:39 AM

The latter part is probably just me though (edited)

Its like. Really easy to get busy and distracted and then, days or even weeks go by before I see them again cause I forgot to focus.

Paranoia is natural because you don't want to be talking for your tulpa. Avoid parroting if you want things to go smoothly.

I kinda got over the paranoia years ago when I was learning and discovering my kinself and my other headmates.

Ok

theres always the prism test

I believe it

I already resolved my paranoia

I just sort of roll with it. cause. its like the most enjoyable aspect of my life these days so why not

your best bet is just to talk about this stuff and what you experience and your concerns, etc. until someone is like "oh, they're vocal now"

I think were getting off topic

Many people could puppet right through the prism test

I figure, if I genuinly wonder if it was me or her it was her. You know when it is you, that is the definition of a conscious action, you knowingly act.

I believe it's important to recognize parroting and then recognizing what is actual conversation between the tulpa and I don't think you should be afraid of parroting but rather learning for yourself what's parroting and what's not

prism test???

4:40 AM

what is that

Its an old test

its really old like 4 years ago

<Ponytail> also reading OldDrunkBastards Tips for those who are parrotnoid

is there any new tests, i just got back into tulpamancy

4:41 AM

from 4 years ago

4:41 AM

>.>

No, at least as far as I know.

who who is the test still valid

I don't know much though.

something about focusing a feather to balance on a prism on top of your tulpas head

<Ponytail> putting anything on your tulpa's head is a hilarious exercise

The test works for some, but many found that they could puppet right through it

and if your tulpa moves away its kinda like...

Rava might just eat it.

youre not puppeting

yeah the damn thing fell over as she failed to balance it.

<Ponytail> Mine punched me in the gut when I tried something like that

4:42 AM

<Ponytail> violent butt

Does anyone know about possession?

i think its called fronting now

what do you want to know about it?

I kinda do apparently XD

4:43 AM

its called fronting yes

4:43 AM

in the plural community

How it works really

I know it as fronting.

[Or switchin'.]

no, fronting and possession are not quite the same thing

for me their fronting. (edited)

Ill try the prism test

4:44 AM

hmm

<Ponytail> fronting is more synonymous with switching with how people generally use it

Fronting is switching yes

okay yeah she ate it and looked at me like i was an idiot

4:44 AM

nice.

Co-fronting is when we're both in control

and thats how u know youre not parroting!

I can see that this does annoy tupps

Rava: im rubbing off on you.

<Ponytail> but... you as a host are always fronting at the start, so also not switching

she ate a prism?

cause youre too focused on balancing the feather

no she ate the feather

oh

this seems to work well for a lot of people, but annoys the shit out of tupps

R: I woulda ate the prism. cause why not.

King Vadenreich's prism or some such

Umm

Pleeb gave me a link hol' up

Doing some cursory googling, it looks like it's the "prism test", an exercise to allow your tulpa to express independence. You visualize a prism, then visualize a feather on top of it, then visualize the feather moving back and forth like a seesaw, and while you're concentrating on that, if your tulpa does something, you know you weren't puppeting because you were focusing on something else. No idea how effective it is or whether many people still do it, but that seems to be how people used the term.

Some of you have been bitching nonstop about ‘Am I puppeting?’ and ‘I think my tulpa moved but I think I might be puppeting’ Well, I have a solution for yo

so old ~.~

yes, you are

lol

welp im gettin back into it

4:46 AM

i only got like 3 months off like 4 years ago

Dabs on you

It's a visualisation technique supposedly used to mitigate 'parrotnoia', by forcing your effort and attention on visualising a physics simulation in proximity to your tulpa's head, thus 'proving' your tulpa's independence when they continue to move or talk. In theory. In practice, it just pisses people off, host and tulpa alike. There's a reason it's largely relegated to the bin, and not even our written history.

old history

is half sentient a thing?

I can't imagine feathers she is eating them all god damnit

4:47 AM

I can't control my imagination how can she get mad at me about this

just sayin its workin

yall kinda woke up rava but he went back to sleepin.

4:48 AM

I wish I still had an overactive imagination like i did as a kid. XD

i kinda have a question with my situation~

4:49 AM

and need direction

4:49 AM

lol

<Ponytail> I still have a hyperactive imagination

[Yeh?]

<Ponytail> send help

okay I tried it again and she just walked away

is it possible to get to a point that they sort of pop up on their own without me having to focus on them? I want to get to that point.

<Ponytail> Your direction will be One Direction

thank you

<Ponytail> Yes, Devout

yes, they'll become more autonomous over time

that sounds neat

<Ponytail> mine got to that point because of chocolate

?que

4:50 AM

do tell

<Ponytail> Anna really likes chocolate

yeah my tulpas will pop in at utter random sometimes
