slightly-off cases will still become tulpa-like by thinking of them as one and doing basic tulpamancy practices

12:05 AM

tulpamancy is really a lot simpler than people make it out to be

I gotta go, please be nice to each other everyone

it's just a cool thing that human brains are capable of (it gets done accidentally/unknowingly all the time in many different contexts, though "tulpamancy" is the purposeful, intentional practice)

I gotta go, please be nice to each other everyone

Thank you yuka...

is there a way to make them stop asking stupid questions even tho both my galls know the answer's xP ? Or is it just their way of talking and I just have to listen and just nodd...

12:14 AM

(Also.. starting with 2 tulpas at once.. Yeah total hell .. they won't stop the chittering and giggleing) But I would never want it otherwise ^,^

12:14 AM

apart .. from havin 2 teens talking day and night ..

Honestly, our system asks a bunch of dumb questions to each other because we know that it’ll make the others laugh

I did tell my psychiatrist and he said it sounds like a real experience but not to worry about it unless it starts to cause issues It caused some mildly unpleasant dissociative symptoms for years but nothing serious until now afaik?

@Kei Wendt - jump as mentioned before, stay away from venting channels

12:16 AM

they mess up with people

12:16 AM

better just leave servers that have them

12:16 AM

surround yourself with stable people

1

12:16 AM

avoid unstable people

12:16 AM

and you will stabilise

Ok

12:17 AM

I'll try that

i'm talking from experience by the way

i vouch this

12:18 AM

from experience as well

surround yourself with stable people

Lucilyn: best line of advice on this entire topic we've heard in months (edited)

I’d like to push back a little bit on the idea that venting channels = unstable people. But I agree with the advice to pay attention no to them. Best to mute them than rather then concern yourself. (edited)

I use vent channels sometimes oops

venting can be relieving if done properly and if the venting person is capable of processing those emotions by themsef, just beware ranting and trauma dumping shich is something that people often do on venting channels

^

also i’d like to highlight i didn’t say venting channels = unstable people, there is loads of unstable people running free

If I see a vent channel in a server I pretty much immediately leave because it gives me a good idea of what kind of people are in that server

‍♂️

12:40 AM

Trigger lists are also an immediate leave

True. I didn’t mean to imply you said that. I sort of just made the jump myself

What is a vent channel?

What is a vent channel?

Lucilyn: venting is the act of just saying things with no intention other than having them be said, to relieve stress (edited)

12:44 AM

since it's normal human instinct to vocalize problems you're having, in the off chance someone can help

Oh, I see

12:47 AM

Too much negavity

still not tulpamancy related to be clear

Yeah I know haha

Lucilyn: just vaguely-plural-related advice about avoiding places where people with disordered plurality reinforce having disorderly experiences/symptoms (edited)

12:49 AM

if you don't want to be sharing their experiences..

I dont

12:50 AM

I surely dont

Venting and trauma dumping What are the differences?

Venting can just be like “ugh I had a bad day cause of x y z” but trauma dumping is more like “here’s the terrible thing that happened to me that I haven’t recovered from psychologically and that no one asked to hear about”

Lucilyn: trauma dumping is so different lol (edited)

1:00 AM

it is literally "dumping your trauma on someone"

1:00 AM

it's not socially acceptable, compared to venting

I feel like If people are gonna be trauma sharing or sharing any sort of triggering vent they should censor it But some people don't.

Lucilyn: sharing your trauma respectfully/in appropriate times and places is not dumping (edited)

1:01 AM

trauma dumping is when you just hit people with a lot of very unpleasant/hard to respond to information about your past trauma

1:01 AM

it's a term because people almost universally have no idea how to respond to that kind of thing and it just makes everything uncomfortable

I feel like If people are gonna be trauma sharing or sharing any sort of triggering vent they should censor it But some people don't.

@Kei Wendt - jump they shoukd just not do it - it’s unhealthy for the dumper and the dumpee

So are their phases to vocalization or does it happen all at once. Because I am having a hard time telling whether or not Amanda is vocalizing or if I am hearing white noise and filling in the gaps

Lucilyn: Yes, your tulpa's voice becomes more clear and distinct from yours over time (edited)

10:47 PM

As long as you don't doubt them too much

10:48 PM

It's okay to think "My tulpa wouldn't say that" and such when appropriate, but some amount of believing stuff is your tulpa communicating is necessary for your brain to ever get started creating the vocality experience

zee what you described sounds like you are building more introspection skills and self awareness which is crucial in tulpamancy so i'm very hopeful for your progress!

Idk exactly what your talking about but thanks!

3:01 AM

Wait I'm dumb nvm. Appreciate the comment tho.

Soo, I've known about tulpa's for half my life I think and I've even tried to make one every now and then cause like, I really want them because of how interested I am with them but at the same time I don't because I'm not sure if I'm ready for my body to move on it's own even tho I just had a weird spiritual experience where that did happen but it's been dealt with by a healer

So like, do tuplas “turn on” on command, or do they sometimes “turn on” out of nowhere

11:05 AM

Just a thought as someone who doesn’t have one yet

they can “turn on” at the presence of thoughts that can be tied back to them. For example, their name and what they like

11:06 AM

or directly calling for them

11:07 AM

and that seems to be the case most of the time that my headmates turn up.

I see, thank you!

If you aren't sure yet, you should probably give it more time. If it helps, though, a tulpa's not going to, like, immediately start taking control of the body, it's something you train up to over time generally.

Yeah I know. Recently I've been thinking/wanting to try again since I have nothing but time atm

If you've given it enough thought and are willing for it to be a life-long experience, then I don't see why not.

I've been willing, it's just, the forcing or whatever term attention is, is a little hard for me cause I don't do much

You don't have to do much to force. Ad long as you're talking semi-consistently to your tulpa.

I think attention is the word, I forgot, it's been awhile since I've seen the terms and meanings

11:20 AM

I mean, in another server/ or guide, they said forcing or including them in your daily life often is better than talking

11:20 AM

Or something

I mean, it is, but if you can't always do that, then it's fine, too.

11:21 AM

I personally recommend a mix of both, but as long as you're thinking about and interacting with your tulpa, theoretically, they'll develop.

Yeah, I was doing that when I had the spiritual experience who I thought was my tulpa but it was just some kind of learning experience I guess, honestly still don't understand what happened or why but I didn't fear it or freak out about it. Should you give them a temporary name? I'm unsure what their name should be or how they should look/sound

You can really call them anything, I recommend asking them for their feedback, but if you're not there yet, I don't see why a temporary name of your choice would be a bad thing.

I know I should assume most thoughts are theirs right? I feel my doubts are going to get in the way

Doubting tends to stall the process. If you're talking to a tulpa, and you aren't quite sure if it was them replying, generally, just go with the assumption that it is them.

11:31 AM

the only exception I see to this is if the thought is clearly harmful or intrusive.

Ah okay, I think I may try again since I've always been interested in thought forms ever since

Good luck.

What is a point of creating a tulpa?

The reasons vary from person to person really!

Yeah, and it definitely isn't for everyone. That's also okay.

mental companions you can always talk to or share experiences with even when there's no other people around irl

disclaimer: its not a replacement for irl people

Yeah, for example I still enjoy my external friends. I wouldn't be socially fulfilled speaking solely to my headmates, although it does help.

I think loneliness is a primary motivator

that's not useful

I don’t have tulpas for any reason

12:41 AM

They just exist

that's a reason itself

The reason is no reason

12:41 AM

Ok

rude

Not all tulpas are created intentionally

Not all tulpas serve a purpose. Pro tip: freeload off the host
