If you are unsure, then that association is weaker

No you are doing a great job

If I think it's her, I should label the thought as hers
8:20 PM
And I shouldn't worry about our thoughts mixing up

But when ive been told/read not to doubt and such, it never clicked until months afterward

Yes It happens
8:21 PM
Sometimes ill hear a thought, and we arent sure where it came from
8:22 PM
So we just sorta "give" it to whoever it fits better
Avatar
Hm whoever's personality aligns more with that thought

berockly (TTG) 4/17/2023 8:22 PM
Thoughts are that simple Assign what thought are yours to you, and hers to her, and neither to neither

I need to stop doubting, but it's hard as I doubt things like life itself regularly
Avatar
berockly (TTG) 4/17/2023 8:23 PM
Just remember, its a pretty simple process of just believing its her
Avatar
It won't be hard to distinguish complex thoughts, since our personalities are kinda opposite, I'm having trouble with the yes/no ones
8:24 PM
But yeah, now that you explain it, I'm pretty sure that was her

also if anything bothers you about the whole thing, you can just talk about it to her and figure things out together

berockly (TTG) 4/17/2023 8:25 PM
So one of the views of tulpamancy i have in terms of this is
8:25 PM
Theres the mind and thoughts, you assign them to yourself, they are yours, yor thoughts tend to align more to how you believe you are
8:25 PM
you add tulpamancy into the mix
8:26 PM
Now theres another "entity" able to receive "ownership" of these thoughts
8:26 PM
And the brain develops develops associations to how those thoughts are, aligning with the tulpa

I do look at it in other ways aswell, this is just one

i have several theories on the whole tulpamancy stuff and i kinda tormented myself with them last week, but i just kinda stopped caring
Avatar
I honestly don't care about explanations
8:29 PM
Which is weird
8:29 PM
I always try to look for logical explanations for everthing

when your tulpa pulls a face you cant do consciously when she possesses and you're looking at yourself in the mirror like lookingdownsmile
8:30 PM
she was super tense the first few days
8:31 PM
it wasnt scary though, just super fascinating and fun

Thank you guys, everyone here is always too nice >.<

Your mom knows?

Um, do you recommend I tell them, or not? Not sure, I think they would say I'm delusional or try to get me to go to a psychiatrist
Avatar
aapeli 🟣🥫🥔 ae 4/17/2023 8:35 PM
you could bring up tulpas in some vague way
8:35 PM
and test the waters

Yeah I told her about eishi after i created/encountered him But now she knows in even more detail since i suspect a dissociative disorder separate from tulpamancy

aapeli 🟣🥫🥔 ae 4/17/2023 8:36 PM
i mean you can always go out for a walk if you want to be with your tupper in a more obvious way, if you feel ok with it
Avatar
Like, when I try to get info to make someone a secret gift, they always figure out I wanna give them something

Then dont Unless you know they are open

Alright, thank you, I will probably do it after I move to Japan or the UK so they can't control me anymore mwahahaha

aapeli 🟣🥫🥔 ae 4/17/2023 8:37 PM
and its funny that my therapist knows about my tulpa, and she sees it as a good thing if it helps with my own issues
Avatar
Your therapist sounds nice
Avatar
aapeli 🟣🥫🥔 ae 4/17/2023 8:38 PM
she said shes studying DID related things and she hadnt heard of tulpas before i told her
8:38 PM
so she probably knows functional multiplicity is a thing

My old therapist tried to make me stop being scared of cockroaches by showing me pictures of cockroaches
8:39 PM
It scared me even more 😭
Avatar
aapeli 🟣🥫🥔 ae 4/17/2023 8:39 PM
my tupper helps me walk past dogs, since i had some pretty unfun situations with dogs when i was a kid
8:40 PM
she doesnt feel afraid or anxious of them
Avatar
I can't even get close to a cockroach without trying to jump away as fast as possit
8:41 PM
Possible
8:41 PM
Only reason I fear the dark are those damn things too
8:42 PM
I remember when I was a kid and turned on the lights 5 or 6 would go back to hiding in the shadows
8:42 PM
So now I can't sleep without light to know there aren't any...
8:42 PM
Although now I only see one every few months
8:43 PM
This is the first time I share this with anyone, I feel weird..

Hey, I have a question that very well might come off as stupid but I can’t find anything about it in the FAQ on the subreddit
3:48 PM
so i am prepared to embarrass myself because I am genuinely worried about something (edited)
3:52 PM
So you can communicate with a tulpa through thought instead of verbal communication This implies that you share all thoughts. Is this true? I know they unfortunately have access to my past memories which i feel extremely negatively about because i have some secrets i keep from everyone. i don’t want a potential tulpa to view me in a negative or inaccurate way based on aspects of myself that i have locked away in my head. Anyway the main point of my question is that i’ve had an extremely prevalent fear my entire life of having my mind ‘read.’ Will i have no privacy within my thoughts whatsoever anymore if I form a tulpa?
Avatar
You won't really be able to keep your thoughts away from your tulpa But it's not like they're an irl person, they're just a part of you So imo you don't need to worry about it
Avatar
Tulpas are generally as understanding as it's possible to be, since they have access to all the same mental context for your memories as you
Avatar
Deleted User 4/18/2023 3:55 PM
what i’ve been led to believe is that they’re an autonomous separate consciousness so i think if i am an exceedingly private person (which i am with a lot of aspects) the worrying is grounded in reason

Even with context, some things I am still not too proud of but I guess it’s something I’ll have to get over, eh
Avatar
Well, you can just not bring things up (and ask them not to bring things up that you're uncomfortable with either)
3:57 PM
(so they don't even end up thinking about those things)
3:58 PM
well, don't frame it in a "Don't think about purple elephants!" way, frame it in a "please be respectful" way
Avatar
Deleted User 4/18/2023 3:58 PM
I guess. Knowing that the knowledge is shared regardless of whether it is discussed or not still makes me feel uneasy but I appreciate the advice. Thanks

(avoid "ironic process theory")

In my personal experience as a newbie, I've also done some things I'm not proud of, I would change a lot of I could go back, but regardless, I told Mallory she could access anything she wanted, from the Answers she has given me, she doesn't think any less of me, as I have changed a lot. She was very understanding of everything, even though as you said, with context and everything my actions were still negative.
Avatar
Tulpas tend to be even more understanding than even the host who is still judging themself for some reason
Avatar
Well, I do still judge myself for it, many of my past actions i feel ashamed of, some way more than others, some silly some serious, but ahe doesn't seem to judge me for what I did I don't know why, but it feels good to have someone like that.

@Deleted User - jump you are worrying about it but in my opinion a tulpa knowing your secrets and accepting you despite them can be very healing for you

i would melt if she knew
