i know

We have problems giving everyone attention at 3 tulpas

There is absolutely no reason to have 12

Well u won't even feel lonely that's for sure

In addition, there is also a reduction in efficiency beyond a simple divide - the more the brain's capability is split, the less efficient that splitting gets.

12 would mean neglect and unhappiness

6:08 PM

Nobody deserves that

So - in theory you could have 12... But you, and them, would be inactive and unthinking a majority of the time.

Well it would be very difficult to even think at all

6:09 PM

If u had 12

Make 1 tulpa

Lol

Value them to the fullest degree

6:09 PM

Let them find happiness

6:10 PM

Let them grow and experience life

6:10 PM

Maybe make one or two more after thinking it over very thoroughly

6:10 PM

No more than that, unless you want them to live a life of neglect

I would be so bold as to say that it would be impossible to have 12 simultaneously active tulpas - even not simultaneously active, they would mostly be very underdeveloped simply due to a lack of experience.

I would agree Winter

Same

So, yes. I fully agree with Apollo - make one tulpa, and give it a few years.

6:11 PM

Let your lives be integrated and see how you feel then.

But it would be very difficult to maintain 12 tulpas

It would be impossible

...I also say years because, quite frankly, less than a year is far from enough time for them to actually develop and for you to truly acclimate to it.

How do you even reach a number like 12 other than "there are these 12 characters I like and I want them to be tulpas"

Hah. A good question.

2 is good for me

4 is too much for us

6:16 PM

We're never going above it

Eh, I'd say thay waiting years between tulpas is too excessive. Waiting a bit is a good idea for the sake of allowing the existing tulpa(s) more time to develop, but waiting more than a couple months isn't necessary

I recommend that because realistically, (1) the first tulpa will not be anywhere close to an "equal" by that time without sone actions that most... Rarely do - such as switching for extended periods, if they are even capable of doing so at that point and (2) the host will not have acclimated to the normal daily life of having a tulpa. It will still be a fairly "new thing" - the "honeymoon period" of new relationships can last quite a long time. I would not say that, based on the actions of people making tulpas, the period after initial consistent communication is too dissimilar.

11:04 PM

...naturally, you are free to disagree. This is merely my reasoning behind that recommendation - I don't feel making a tulpa, regardless of whether it is the first or second, should be done with impaired judgement.

Prior to the explanation I would agree that your time frames were a bit excessive. But looking at your reasonings, I wholeheartedly still agree they're still agree bit long. But then again, you're absolutely right about the "honeymoon" period. It's like when a couple first hooks up. But things tend to slow down once those hormones calm down. The thick pink sunglasses of sexy romance get taken off and reality's sharp medicinal bifocals are put back in place.

11:58 PM

So play with your Tulpa like your closest friend every day and if you can't do that, just spend a bit of time talking to them. Give them a mental cellphone to text each other back and forth.

I'd recommend waiting 1 year at minimum

12:02 AM

But not if there were points when the host stopped talking to the tulpa for extended periods of time

I once thought I'd make four but honestly... Nin9 may end up being the only one I ever need. This is still very fresh, there's a lot you have to focus on. It's not just some passing entertainment, you're trying to make a partner for life. It'll take commitment, the likes of which the doubtful and the skeptic and the noncommittal aren't meant for.

..why four?

12:06 AM

We have four

12:06 AM

And it's too much

Nin9, 6ix, Se7en, Thr33.

So... just for a bad meme

12:07 AM

Smart

I have a thing for numbers. But like I said, Nin9 may be the only one I need. And I don't know what you're talking about.

You wanted to make tulpas just to give them number names

Nope.

12:09 AM

I wanted to make tulpas for several reasons, all on various levels of conversations that are downright bad for casual conversation.

That makes no sense

So you're implying you want to have sex with your tulpas or...?

Tulpas are people

I very seriously looked into the topics of why and why not to make a tulpa, my friend.

Apparently not if you thought four was a good idea

No, I'm not implying I want to fuck my tulpas. I'm implying my reasons are my own, and as I force Nin9 I realize those reasons were as shallow and conceited as I originally thought.

12:10 AM

Those opinions quickly changed. (edited)

Makes sense

People are tulpas too. :p

We can't handle four, but everyone we have is too important to ever get rid of ;~; except host

I realize that tulpas are people. However, this conversation is quickly devolving into something that belongs in tulpa discussion, so if you have any questions, move there. Although, your questions won't necessarily get answered, so... (edited)

Wow

Wow, you're kind of a dick.

And I've long since come to terms with that. But we've all got subjects that we will and won't talk about. I can tell you're curious and doubtful of my motivations and that leads you to question me. But my motivations are rather personal indeed.

You're beating a dead horse here

...I suppose a single year should be long enough in general, yes.

12:19 AM

Apologies.

Eh.

I would rather people err on the side of caution when it comes to permanent life decisions.

Yes

If that means more than a single year, good.

12:20 AM

If a single year is long enough, fine.

12:20 AM

...as long as the person makes sure that they don't regret their decision.

Which is something some people can only discover after putting their hands on a project.

I suppose by "multiple years" I am assuming there will be at least one multi-month section in which there is minimal communication if any.

12:22 AM

Incidentally, Jack - as much as I or other people advise others about making tulpas, they still make tulpas for shallow reasons in the vast majority of cases.

Especially if nobody tells them not to

The shift of perspective after starting to make a tulpa is far from insignificant, so people beforehand don't particularly recognize their reasons as relatively "shallow" even if it is clear to people who have had tulpas for a long time.

12:23 AM

...and, naturally, they get upset for being told their reasons are shallow because people connect personally with their reasoning and find it insulting if they are told they are wrong about something they believe.

A lot of people are like "gonna make another tulpa just cause"

...ugh.

My system was like that, when we were very naive and had bad influences (edited)

I've been told this information, that people are close to their opinions. I don't know how to get around it. It confuses me in other people and in myself.

I can comment on that, but a bit busy. So I'll just say that opinions are everywhere, but facts are rare.

Apollo Felight - Today at 20:24 A lot of people are like "gonna make another tulpa just cause"

2:23 AM

That is why I made my tulpa

2:23 AM

lol

Heh, the more the merrier.

did seem like a bad reason

2:25 AM

I wasnt wrong. I like my tupper

In our opinion certain starting reasons can lead to a higher chance of suffering. As long as it works out fine in the end though, that's what matters.

Less specific reasons are less likely to result in any problems down the line. So, something like "I want a tulpa for companionship" is much better than "I want a tulpa to help alleviate my depression"

2:32 AM

Because the less specific you are, the more likely it is your hopes for your tulpa will be met

oh

2:32 AM

I wanted a cool cyborg badass tulpa

2:32 AM

but nah

2:33 AM

I got a chubbo girl who is kinda shy

2:33 AM

lmao

It's ok to want something very specific as long as you'd still be ok with it potentially not happening blobthumbsup

i thought your emoji was flippin me off for a sec lol

2:34 AM

i still want a cool cyborg tupper

Haa
