Once, I was looking for a tulpa quiz to do. I found one that was intended for my "tulpa", not me as the host. I thought why not and started off doing the quiz by asking him what he wanted to write. Then, as I went on, it was as though I started thinking from his perspective now and then. When the quiz was done, I noticed this, and asked if he'd like to take over some more. We didn't really know what we were doing, but he agreed to it. And then it was like I was him. I was seeing everything from his perspective, thinking his thoughts, feeling his emotions and desires. It was like I was him entirely. It was really weird and really cool. I could feel all (his? my?) wonder at being in the world and feeling all these sensations. But my memories were unaltered and when my mother asked me something, it was like "I" took over again because everything lapsed back to "me," but when that was done I was him again. I went back to being me only when I went to bed and "changed gear." All the while, "I" as my "tulpa" didn't have a tulpa, a host in "my" head. Was that all just hardcore roleplay?
I'm not sure it was switching, because I felt like "I" was either gone or still in the "front seat." I'd say it was fronting or something but the same problem applies? I don't know.
What if someone is having doubts not about their tulpa, but in their own ability to develop one?
I have faith that she is there, I'm just not sure I'm doing the best job at developing her.(edited)
then what you do is confront that belief with the facts. Just do your sessions, be spontaneous, let things happen, then once you're done come back to it and report the experience. Write it down, note the details that seem of particular interest.

In time you may see notable events, improvements, and other things that will show to you your own progress and possibilities.
What I've done to combat that mindset is literally explain to Ikari....I don't know the best way to do all this, I can't promise I'll do everything perfectly, but I'm trying my best

She understood

your tulpa should too

they're in your head and read your thoughts after all
Welp I'll try to help as much as I can....I'm not exactly experienced but I'm basically applying a common sense approach, as if I was teaching a kid and making a friend all at the same time
That seems like a good aprouch to things. And I know I already said this but thank you(edited)

There aren't really any words I can think of to describe how grateful I am for the amount of help this community has provided.
Not just for me, but for everyone, truly, I thank you all
I think another thing with mindset is to make it about the journey, not the destination. It’s okay to do what you love, not what you find tedious all the time, because you have all your lives to help each other grow.
I do agree. I do thinking it is best to not rush your tulpa into speaking as quickly as possible, or switching or whatever else. It will happen when the time is right.

You should enjoy this personal journey for as long as you can, you will likely not experience it in the same way ever again, as with making second tulpas, it tends to take much less time.
