hi! im new here, but i've known about tulpas for a few years now. recently i decided to take it seriously and that it's about time i started working on one, but i've run into a problem and i was wondering if anyone could help? i already have the situation typed up, and it's a bit lengthy
every time i do a tulpaforcing session i always start with imagining him in the same neutral position as if i was still forming his shape in the earlier stages. the problem i'm having with that is that i always force myself to imagine him the same way. so if he moves and i feel strongly that it's just me imagining him a different way–puppeting–i imagine him in the same neutral position and pretend he never moved in the first place. it's always with movement, though. we're not very good with communication, either, so i can't really ask him if he was the one who moved, even if i strongly believe it was just puppeting. i know i should work on communication, of course, because it could help, but i was wondering if there's something i'm doing wrong, or if there's some sort of exercise or something i could practice that would make this easier for me. (although, it just seems kinda tedious to always ask "hey, did you move just then?")
that is a little easier said than done, i feel, but i guess meditation and practice could help with that? or is there anything else that could?(edited)
yeah it's not easy, in general it's best to believe it's your tulpa unless they say otherwise

besides even if it is you it's not necessarily bad as you may be teaching him how to move around in his body

in general if you aren't sure assume it's the tulpa and work on developing communication, the more you believe your tulpa is developing the faster it'll develop
Hey guys, I started creating a tulpa 3 days ago, and it is going really well. I was wondering if someone is willing to answer a few questions for me in DM? Preferably someone with experience or knowledge about dissociative symptopms/disorders.
@briful A second opinion on your situation - Try not to assume that it's him moving on his own. Sometimes it could be intrusive thoughts, and sometimes you can visualize him in different positions - it can help with the process a ton. If I may ask, since you mentioned that you guys don't have the best communication, has he been able to respond back or are you still in the initial sentience stages?
sometimes he responds and other times he doesn't. i'm not sure if it's just me not being able to hear him well or him not answering. and he doesn't speak yet, so it's been with flashes or head pressures
Keep forcing and don't really give much of a thought about puppetting (at least in this case), if anything think of it more like "posing" when you visualize different positions. My host always had those sorts of issues when he first made a tulpa. The best thing I can say when it comes to that is that you'll "know" when your tulpa moves. It's difficult to explain, but you get "that" feeling when you know. You'll keep doubting but your tulpa will either reinforce it or not respond, and that's okay. When the first tulpa moved, she smiled and gave head pressures to reinforce it.
Hi all. ^^
I have a quick question about tulpas. I started creating one yesterday and I think it's going pretty good, but maybe a little bit more information would be helpful for me...
Are tulpas able to feel the physical needs of the host's body?
Like, can they be hungry, sleepy or anything like that? Even when a host is not paying much attention to them right now and they might be inactive.
Oh, okay, thanks a lot.
Another thing I'm a little bit concerned about is that my tulpa changed his form already, but I created him barely yesterday. I wonder if it's not too fast. He didn't allow me to change it back to the previous one, even though my first attempt was to do it, as soon as I saw him - so he resisted.
He just develops quite fast.
Well I guess that's a good sign then.
But 'he' used to be a 'she' before. He looks similar to what he used to, but changed his gender, for some reason.
I just assumed it would be the best to start off with the same gender as the host, to make it easier for both of us, but I won't change his decision.
Thanks a lot for the answers.
