If forced, how strongly does the system member that mainly forced the tulpa care about the tulpa's form? Leave blank if walk-in or uncertain origins.

3:07 PM

This is a weird question

For the other system mates question I was baffled

3:07 PM

Since its just us

fuck yeah that should be optional

3:08 PM

Also Apollo, I'm trying to gauge how much the person who forced the tulpa cares

3:08 PM

Is there a better way to word that?

"When the tulpa was being created, how strongly did their creator care about their form?"

Made the two "other system members" questions optional

Also what if the host/someone else chose the tulpa's form but they modified it?

3:09 PM

Do I choose both "The primary forcer" and "The tulpa" for those questions?

That was the intent.

3:12 PM

"If forced, how strongly does the tulpa's creator care about their form? Leave blank if walk-in or unsure origins." Better, Apollo?

"If forced" is the weird part

Ah, I only want people who intentionally or unintentionally forced the tulpa to answer?

3:13 PM

Not walk-ins or "it's basically always been this way" people

well, you can still unintentionally force walk-ins lol

3:14 PM

I think walk-ins would be more believable that way anyway

3:15 PM

Maybe "Leave blank if this question does not apply"

3:16 PM

Then you can remove the "If forced" part

3:16 PM

every sentient tulpa is forced lol

Alright. If you reload it, you'll see the changes I've made, if you want to give it another scan

annnd anyone else reload again plz, I made a dumb typo.

3:20 PM

Anyway yeah, thanks Apollo

i forgot to add something to the feedback but maybe you could add more questions. unless tht's all you wanted to add

Any ideas for questions?

4:31 PM

I stopped adding more because I kind of hit a roadblock

Can you elaborate on what the form being "important to you" means?

Yeah you could do that too. By important I think that I love it and means something to me I guess

to me it's important just in the sense that it represents me but isn't actually me

I might make my ownform too but a bit differently

4:38 PM

Kinda like ‘what do you know about your tulpa’ kind of questions just tonknow where you’re at with them

4:38 PM

Just like a check-up kind of

Important mostly in emotional connection. Like you can think that something isn't actually you but would be kind of emotionally miffed it if changed without your consent or if it was taken away from you.

not really since I can just change it back

I mean like

4:39 PM

If you couldn't. If it was damaged in some way and you couldn't correct it.

that's a moot question since that's not possible

That's true that it's not possible, but I don't know how else to define "important"

it's like saying "What's worse killing a tulpa or killing a fleshie"

4:39 PM

you can just bring a tulpa back

I mean not exactly? I wouldn’t be upset if it changed but I would be like aw I’ll miss your old self I guess

a form isn't a "self"

4:40 PM

it's just a representation of self

I feel like a better version of that is ‘do you love it’ you know what I mean? Most people wouldn’t be upset if it changed (or shouldn’t)

4:40 PM

You know what I meant

Some people do associate their forms with their selves. I've talked to a lot of people that if they looked different they'd feel fundamentally different as a person.

that's not a good thing

4:41 PM

a form should be based on their personality, not the other way around

I can agree with that not being a good thing, but I've seen it enough that I think ti's a real phenomenon

I haven't changed mine since I feel no need to

4:41 PM

not because I think it'll change me as a person or whatever

form doesn't represent me at all

4:43 PM

i don't even think my tulpa represents who i am? i see him more as just a friend and i don't really care what changes, he doesn't really have my personality exactly i mean a few traits yes but not all

Why would your tulpa represent you anyway?

4:44 PM

a tulpa's their own person thonk

i guess some people don't follow that

4:45 PM

i feel like you could put "would it affect you if they changed" instead of "important to you" causse i would say it's important it mean something to me but if he changed forms i would be ok with it i think

I'd be annoyed if anyone changed their form only because that would mean all of the art we have of them is now obsolete and we have to start over

4:46 PM

petty I know

yeah even though i don't have art of him

4:47 PM

but i would be more ok with it since i started off a long time ago with a design from a show but he doesn't really wanna change it now so i can't really make him if he likes it.

Alright. I'll think of better ways to word that or maybe trying to add a unified definition.

ok

Indigo made some semi-major form changes back in September but overall kept the same base, Piano added space wings a long time ago, other than that we haven't made changes

4:49 PM

my form has been the same since Feb 2017

tbh i find the whole idea of making your tulpa's design/personality based off a show really controversial. i find a lot of people uncomfortable with the whole thing or annoyed. again i feel like it depends i mean if you allow for change that's fine but mine never really did except for personality so i mean meh. i may need to get myself to draw him though soon cause i think he changed art styles at least.

#tulpa-discussion?

We're developing what we hope is a potentially useful self-forcing (or just regular forcing) technique for tulpas. We would like for people to try out the technique and tell us their thoughts. https://community.tulpa.info/thread-tulpa-empowerment-forcing-technique-research?pid=244156#pid244156

Tulpa Empowerment Forcing Technique Research

Hello all. My system has developed a self-forcing technique to help us with fronting, though it can likely also be performed by a host for their tulpa. The goal of this technique is to leave the tulpa

we'll take a look at it

o7 we'll defo have a look at it

seems interesting, we'll try this technique when we have time next

It looks good!

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdWyzAZ077eOq1F79oL5kqjBztYwlARQczHmJCCHserZSXDpA/viewform Casual "where are you from?" survey. In idk, 48 hours I'll make a bar chart (or a BETTER PIE CHART) of the countries because for some reason google thought a pie chart with every country already in the legend was a good idea. (edited)

This short survey investigates how tulpas communicate their first responses. If you intentionally created your first tulpa with the knowledge of what tulpas are, please take a minute to put down your response. EDIT: Responses are closed, data will be analyzed and released soon. (edited)

Made a response.

My born-human has put a response in, but do you really want data from a far outlier?

I made one too

Can I respond to this survey even thought I'm an accidental Tulpa?

@A long kiss goodnight No, which is why I specify intentional creation

Fair enough. (edited)

Quick question. Why does the short survey have separate options for the United Kingdom and England? Isn't it like having an option for the United States and Washington?

..

12:02 PM

Englands leaving the eu or somethin like tgat

12:02 PM

either that or ur survey is messed up

You are correct bruh

12:14 PM

If you live in England, you live in the United Kingdom. But not all people who live in the United Kingdom live in England.

12:14 PM

So it seems like an error in the survey

12:15 PM

@salad should be made aware of this

Although looking at the available options, the list of countries seems automatically generated

The link above isn't my survey, it was done a month prior. My survey got 100+ responses and is closed

2:59 PM

I don't know who the other person is and I doubt they did anything with that data

Oh my bad

The results of the initial response survey have been analyzed and presented here:

hmmm interesting

9:00 AM

wow! this is some good research you got there

Yes, very well done

7:12 PM

I actually linked it to the forum from Reddit.

7:12 PM

Hope that was okay @salad
