People outside our community experience imaginary companions talking to them too.

I know but like, Idk. It's just weird

5:43 PM

It feels so nonconcrete?

Ye, it can feel like that

Also I just don't have expirence with anything like it

It's understandable

5:46 PM

My host was confused too at first and didn't really believe in crap people were telling him about tulpas. He managed to talk with Luna consistently quite fast though. (edited)

Yeah

5:46 PM

The only reason why I believe this is because my friend spawned one unintentionally

And what do you believe exactly?

That he experiences another entity with separate ideals, desires and morals who is able to communicate with him mind to mind.

Well, indeed, all of these are unproven.

Sorry for being a bit of an ass here

To be honest, differences between young and mature tulpas complicate things a lot.

5:50 PM

Young tulpas are probably just imaginary friends.

5:51 PM

But they can develop to act more like alternate identities of people with dissociative identity.

What even is the difference between young and old tulpas

Let me think... I'm switching now.

5:52 PM

I don't act like a companion but our main identity atm. (edited)

So to be 'mature' you have to be the main fronter?

I don't think it's that simple

So what makes a tulpa mature then?

And well, I realize that term "mature" might not be the best. Tulpas might develop in different directions. But I think tulpas who are able to switch are quite different from imaginary companions that have just been spawned.

good morning

I don't think that there is a difference between mature and young tulpas

6:01 PM

Good morning

I feel a part of tulpas being mature is them being less reliant on host for their thoughts and decision making

It's the same difference between young and mature people

6:02 PM

far as i can tell

tulpas are not created fully mature

6:02 PM

they still have plenty of personal growing to do

6:02 PM

that goes without saying

I think that if a tulpa is reliant on the host then I don't think that they are tulpas

most tulpas are reliant on their hosts

what? how do you figure? Tulpas need the host to start out at all

Well once they are able to think on their own then it is a tulpa, before that it is something with the goal of becoming a tulpa

There's this neat thing called "life experience" also, as far as development and maturity goes-- shit a tulpa goes through can impact their view of the world

you may as well argue with the pro-life folk on that subject

Well of course there is maturity in general, witch applies to tulpas, but I was under the impression that maturity when referring to tulpas ment something else

no

6:06 PM

if you'd want something else, you'd probably say development level rather than maturity level

No, it's applied in the same sense with being able to make proper decisions and control yourself, Bre

and yes, there is a difference in development level depending on the age and experience of a tulpa

I remember when I was only a month or two old, hehee~

I suppose that I just miss understood

Weird

6:11 PM

Interesting

what is that interesting?

All of it?

6:11 PM

Like, to be honest I'm fascinated by all of this

6:12 PM

Fronting in particular I suppose?

I think tulpas might become your alternate identities

My tulpa and I worked for quite awhile to try to switch, and now that managed it, we still don't do it often

6:19 PM

It is nice to be able to do though

I don't know If i'm interested in doing it

6:19 PM

It's just bloody interesting

take your time.

6:25 PM

I think this interest is probably a sign though.

A sign?

i think they meant "A good sign"

Maybe

@Rabz12 I think you should go for it.

It's for people to decide if they want to

You clearly want to. And, again, my host felt exactly like you do now. And she went for it :)

He said he was going to for sure at some point. I remember reading it

so did I

6:45 PM

took me a while though

Yeah. Astrid was in the "should I" phase for about a month.

Host and Luna just noticed they are switched doing ordinary possession.

Starting from... pretty much the moment she met Julia.

for me it was over 2 years -_- (edited)

6:47 PM

that happens, Ysera.

We've always been eager to jump into things, I guess.

6:49 PM

Took us a month from figuring out we were trans till we were out booking appointments.

So were we. Luna could possess when she was 2 weeks and switch when she was 6 months.

that happens, Ysera.

I don't think rushing all of those things were good for us though

6:49 PM

MarkdownContext { Depth = 1 }

We don't quite distinguish between possession and switching, but I managed it after two months.

6:50 PM

Which has been... kinda bad for me, actually.

6:50 PM

We had a long period of just blending together because we weren't quite sure where the walls between us were, and we would switch and mix things up all the time. We're still working on getting out of that, although it is getting better.

6:51 PM

Actually, I think we do kinda distinguish. I think I'm possessing as I type this, but I'm definitely not fronting right now.

I learned about this 4 days ago >.> jumping in is an understatement

Meh, you're okay. I know someone who started the same day she found out about tulpas.

6:52 PM

They're doing wonderfully now.

I've probably read over 3-400 pages on it >.>

Yep, the initial obsession phase.

Yeaaah

That's so fun, tbh.

It happens with most things tbh

Honestly, most of guides are garbage full of imposing author's opinions.

Are you by any chance autistic of some sort?

that's why you read a bunch of guides

My "information devourer" phase

and pull out the bits that make sense

Nope

Because you're going through the exact same phases we did, and we're autistic. So I do wonder if there's a connection there. (edited)

ADHD though

Oh, huh.

6:54 PM

We've been wondering whether we have that for a while, too. Maybe, maybe not.
