autosexuality

not even my own body so would it really count thonk

delusions

9:35 AM

how is that not your body?

9:35 AM

how are you typing, telepatically? (edited)

well yeah but its their image in my mind and set of traits which are technically mine by association but hm

autosexuality doesn't mean you are attracted to your body iirc

its like when someone takes interest in a fictional character but not.. fictional anymore

9:38 AM

it may technically be that then

9:38 AM

i was indeed thinking abt it recently

I think it would be weird if someone underage makes a tulpa of a character who's canonically an adult for romance purposes. Like, how would the "adult" tulpa feel about that

yeah it showcases either a lack of thought or a load of worry for the young tulpamancer

I just feel like it would cause problems for the tulpa, not the creator

9:42 AM

Since the tulpa would essentially be whatever age their creator is, it's not like anything genuinely predatory would happen, it just seems like a weird moral disconnect

that makes sense, i was thinking it just wouldnt be wise to jump into tulpamancy so quickly for that reason without thinking about how the tulpa would feel

How do you guys come up with a consistent form for your tulpa? Mine keeps changing personality and form.

How long have you worked on form? Practice makes perfect, and spending time doing visualization sessions can help

For several months now. I visualise my tulpa when I get depressed, so it happens at least once a day. I do have a motif for it though.

You visualise them when you are depressed?

12:22 PM

did you try to do it when you aren’t depressed

(at the end of the day though, Tulpas may diverge from the original form they're given as they become more mature, usually it's changing color and such, but my tulpa is totally different from her original form after ~10+ years)

Like @KiTkAT( •̀ .̫ •́ )✧/jk Said... do you only tulpaforce when depressed?

i keep changing my forms all the time, i’m quite fluid and “changing personality”…that’s just being a human, we all have complex personalities

Not really.

well, maybe you could try

12:25 PM

and see if you get results closer to what you would like

I do have adhd, so it maybe because of that. Also I'm not artistically talented

a form isnt really even necessary

It's not, but you can't really emotionally connect with a void, yknow?

Struggling with form and personality can be a double whammy. I'm assuming you're not forcing very often, possibly because it's stressful to force?

I'm wondering if using a plushie and then developing the visualization and tactile imposition skills later would be helpful

I do it when I feel lonely, so twice a day? For the personality, its sometimes switches from someone who is disciplinarian to someone who is cute and nice. It's hard son.

Idk, a 6 foot plushie would cost a lot lol

people have different moods dont they

why not a headmate

Flandre: It's basically just lack of mental discipline (even more normal with ADHD) (edited)

4:11 PM

It is up to the host to keep a developing tulpa's form (and to some extent personality) consistent through expectations - demanded expectations, for a particularly unruly mind

4:12 PM

They should become more consistent as they develop, but developing tulpas are fairly prone to influence by random imagination, basically

4:14 PM

With ADHD that may stick around here-and-there indefinitely, requiring you to get used to forcing things to stay as expected (though I don't think that should be very hard or take much effort/acknowledgement once you get a handle on it)

Hmm... I'm wondering if a change in topic would be necessary. They won't develop much if they're always focused on you not feeling well. Our headmates who take guardian roles tend to suffer the most in terms of personality development.

you don't need a big one unless you're already kinda big

11:12 PM

like i'm 5'6 and the big 40" blåhaj is perfect for me

who doesn't want a 12' plushie?

i mean of course that's a goal, but i'm saying a 40" plushie is okay too

Well, my tulpa is basically my guardian angel, and cheers me up when I feel sad or lack energy. That's the motif I'm using.

@LowkeyGod - jump you don’t get emotionally connected to a form

I mean, you kinda do? At least babies do, and humans though on some unconscious level.

when you communicate with people online, you can build a very strong emotional connection without knowing what they look like

7:56 PM

it's not that you connect to someone's looks

kaybee

like i'm 5'6 and the big 40" blåhaj is perfect for me

I mean, it couldn't hurt. There is a plushie left from my ex-girlfriend I could use lol.

Leiko

I suppose so, though with a form you can imagine physical contact which produces oxytocin, which helps in connection, much more than chatting imo, but I get your point.

8:05 PM

Do you guys feel that your tulpa has helped you become less emotionally starved? Or has it caused you to become more emotional and soft?

Physical contact is not really a factor for us.

should i make a Tulpa?

depends on the reason

9:12 PM

why do you want to make one?

comfort, I guess? I get easily stressed out so I kind of want a calm person to help me sometimes

i think that's an okay reason if you want to, go for it but be open to the fact that it can be a commitment

should i make a Tulpa?

As long as you want one, that's perfectly fine. There are downsides and considerations I describe here- https://community.tulpa.info/topic/17827-remember-you-dont-have-to-make-a-tulpa/ Ultimately though, you should create as long as you want to and stop when you don't want to

Remember You Don't Have to Make a Tulpa

While tulpamancy is a fascinating and wonderful practice, it is also a deviant practice. Science has only started studying the effects of tulpamancy on a practitioner. Considering others and even my own experiences, I am aware tulpamancy can transform one’s life for both the better or the worse. ...

They need to have more personality than just to help keep you calm or else it could cause issues for them in the long run

it's not guaranteed to be a calm motherly figure all the time

9:39 PM

because it's a person, not a robot

9:40 PM

probably depends on how you raise it, though

Or you’ll end up with someone who freaks out if they are unable to meet expectations

9:51 PM

Basically don’t make a tulpa have one job and their whole life centered around it and you’ll be fine

Flandre: Tulpas are good mental companions, yes. Having one won't solve your problems, but it might help in dealing with them. Also helpful to have at least a vague idea in mind of who they'd be/like, just so you can more easily focus on "them" rather than "I don't know, something?" during the development process (edited)

Some idea of who they are is always good

9:54 PM

And giving them some traits that will give you comfort is okay. Just recognize that they should be able to do more than that as well.

9:54 PM

Then you’ll be fine
