A negative or positive thought may or may not be a tulpa. It's best not to assume a negative thought is, but also is not good to assume no negative thoughts come from your tulpa.
The best option in a case like this is to inform a person about the nature of how a tulpa thinks, how intrusive thoughts work, and how it is generally good to navigate dealing with where it is hard to tell the difference.
I don't think anybody here is advocating for a negative experience, just that you should accept all potential emotions from a tulpa, especially if you're going to assume that stray thoughts are coming from them.
I feel like there's someone standing behind me, with their hand on my shoulder, watching over me as I'm playing this

And I'm semi-visualizing it too

Is that what it's called?

It's like this thing that I'm just gonna call empathetic senses I guess, where if I hear/see something happened(say, someone got slugged in the arm) I can feel it in some amount myself

Especially when people get smashed in the privates or something hard, it feels like I'm right at the point of puking at extreme times

But it happens a lot for me
1:28 AM
Even without seeing it
1:29 AM
Just thinking about it sometimes
1:29 AM
I can literally sometimes think of a certain sensation/texture and feel it
So, I've been doing what I assume is forcing for a few days. Been consistently feeling what I assume is the "presence" people refer to. Talking to her. Acknowledging her. Keeping my mind aware of her existence as much as possible. Felt like I was doing a fairly good job of keeping the presence... real and consistent. Almost always there.

But earlier today, a few minutes after we had just had an interaction, I realized her presence was... just not there.
Should I worry about watching the show my tulpa comes from? I've heard it's fine as long as they know they're still different but it just feels off-putting
