I don't think it's a good idea to do force upon yourself something you don't want to do. There are solutions to these kinds of problems.
It also sounds like there is a medical issue at play from what you shared earlier. If you have intrusive thoughts you can't stop that are constantly bothering you, there's not much we can do to help and practicing tulpamancy may agitate the problem
"Walk-ins" are thoughtforms that seem tulpa-like that are created instantly. What people often misunderstand is you still have the choice to accept them as tulpas or not
Well they are they have had a personality for ages a few have just been like made up characters just chillin in my head as ideas for ages but nothing happened with them but yeh idk I want to make a knew one it’s slowly forming i think as an introject the more I learn about the person
It doesn't matter how old they are, you still have the choice to accept them or not
Keep in mind if you don't want a tulpa, you don't have to abandon them. They could just be a piece of you and you can accept it back
In response to the emoji reactions:
You can tell someone to ignore walk-ins and that is fine, but sometimes it doesn't work.
Integration is another way to resolve walk-ins, and in this case, it seems that may be the effective strategy for Jay
Granted, you shouldn't integrate flat out intrusive thoughts that are self-depracating in nature, but given this instance that's not what's going on
Re: #lounge An NPC would essentially just be a character. That's as easy as imaginign what you want them to be like, how they act, and placing them in your wonderland while also being aware that they are not sentient and exist for the purpose of making a fictional area appear more lifelike.
But sometimes someone says "But my tulpas don't know about the outside world, only wonderland" or "But my NPCs know about the outside world and aren't tulpas"

So it's not a rule
11:47 PM
But, it would be helpful for making the distinctions
but is it weird that my tulpa has to sometimes tell me to stop talking because we both know im about to say smth bad bc by the time I know i aalready hit send/said it
Well first of all, plenty of people do things that some part of them feels they shouldn't, generally because they're acting more on other feelings/wants/emotions than their "conscience"

But second, tulpas also tend to have a different perspective on things than their host
3:30 AM
So they could just actually feel differently about the same things
3:31 AM
Which would lead to different reactions than you yourself would have

I'll just answer both since you didn't clarify
no, we aren't spooky creatures from the depths of hell, we're just personalities that coexist in the brain. some people may see us as demons since plurality is both understudied and hard to grasp, but recognizing that your headmates aren't gonna be affected by prayer and holy water or whatever form of exorcism is how you would resist that.
Hi!
What mentality should we have to be able to achieve full possession easier?
Like, what should we expect it to be? We don't want to have false hopes and all
Like I (the bost) being able to sit in the passenger sit for once while my tulpa makes the primary thinking and controlling of the body. So, basically, the roles changing
Honestly saying that is false at times bc ppl can make fake personalities of themselves but those aren't tulpas just a person pretending to act differently
Tulpas are mental constructs(edited)

or well false a lot of the time

Bc plurality

Personalities are just a person giving themselves a different personality not it being a separate mental construct

well, whats a thoughtform besides a sentient personality? (except in the case of servitors but i forgot if they fall under the thoughtform umbrella)
poor, but not incorrect word choice

going by only the name, a personality mask (is what ill call it because i think labels are fun to throw around) would definitely make it there as a mental construcg
