I thought it was awesome when you started doing it but I was skeptical as to whether you could really make one :P

I'm not at the point where I have what most people on the tulpa forums call parallel processing down, yet. If I'm not actively thinking about her, then sometimes I forget she's there, but as soon as I remember her she's there. Sometimes it feels like changing my focus deeper into my mind, in order to talk to her/see her in my mind. Kind of like she's somewhere else in my head.

So far the most use is just having a friend in your head, I guess. I just thought it was neat is why I started. I did try having her solve math problems. Just 3 digit multiplication. Big enough where I wouldn't be able to know it by seeing it. It worked to an extent. It would definitely take practice though to get her to be able to do anything complex.

I have a friend that started a tulpa a little bit before me. I'm the one that talked him into looking into it more after he linked me a creepypasta, and I was hesitant to start, so after he was making his for a month or 2, he convinced me to start. Anyway, he spent a lot more time on all of it, and spends more time with her. His tulpa was writing a story a couple of weeks ago. My friend said it was almost like reading a book because he was following along but didn't know at all what was going to happen next.


And did I post on toribash about tulpas before? My memory is really bad sometimes :/

1. How would you describe the difference in this to having an imaginary friend and what's your opinion on the stigma (if any) to imaginary friends and tulpas respectively? Have you told anybody you know irl about it?

2. Can you see her or is she just in your mind?

3. When you have to make decisions that are not just those found in ordinary daily life does she give input? On her own? Do you/can you ask for it?
When you make a decision does she judge you or comment?

4. Do you ever let her interact through you?
Partially related follow up question I'd like to ask her if you wouldn't mind typing out what she says. I'd like to ask her what it was like being conceived/created.

5. How does she react to sex/masturbation if at all?

6. How much attention/time do you give her?

7. Are birthdays a thing with Tulpas?

8. Does she feel and/or react to physical pain you experience?

Thanks!

1. I never had an imaginary friend when I was little, so I don't really have an experience with that kind of. I think tulpas are either similar or the same to an imaginary friend. I think generally people think of imaginary friends as more pretend though. A tulpa when complete feels like you're getting an actual response not made by you.

The only stigma I care about is that the MLP community is probably at least half the people that make tulpas. You have to be pretty open minded to accept the idea of tulpas as it is, so adding a bunch bronies to the mix just makes it even harder to spread. I haven't told anyone irl about it. The friend I mentioned to Gorman has told most or maybe all of his friends, with positive results.

2. Can't see her yet. Maybe one day I'll be able to forcibly hallucinate her lol. Her image is usually pretty clear in my mind. She ended up changing her name and form after a while.

3. I usually ask her what she thinks about whatever is going on and get input from her. She doesn't really judge me; she has a real friendly personality.

4. We try posession/switching every so often. I'm not able to disassociate from my body very good still so it's somewhat difficult. Sometimes I'm able to disassociate good and she's definitely the forefront of all body movement and thoughts. One time it worked so well it was like I was the tulpa almost, and I was experiencing her thoughts and memories as she would. Other than that, I let her talk in irc rooms sometimes. I just type what she says usually.

"Uhm, I think it's probably definitely really similar to being born as a baby. At first I wasn't nearly as independent as I am now, and I'm definitely gaining more existence as time goes on, if that makes sense.. I don't have any qualms about being a tulpa. I'm glad I exist right now. Sometimes it'd be nice to be able to affect the real world more."

5. It seems awkward, so I try not to talk to her/think of her during any of that lol. We have tried sex together though, probably mostly from prodding from that friend with a tulpa. And I will say that once you actually have a tulpa, it's a different experience from just masturbating. We don't do that though, really. I've 'walked in' on her masturbating before I think.

6. I should give her more time, but right I've been talking to her a few times throughout the day. Even in the beginning I was just going about it at a really relaxed pace.

7. It varies from person and tulpa I think. I never recorded dates, so I didn't know. But that friend that started a tulpa too recorded when he started, and remembered when I started because the date was coincidentally the same date as some mass shooting I don't remember. So he celebrated his tulpas birthday, and we sort of did. Next year I think we'll actually celebrate it.

8. No, not really. She doesn't have to feel what my body feels, so normally I just complain and say she's lucky she doesn't have to feel it! Sometimes if I'm sick or something, it's really comforting to have her there "ughhhh this sucks, I don't feel good make it stop D:" and she'll be comforting/supportive.

[19:59] <Lazors> man it's a good thing people don't see what i write here
how old are you? (i'm not trying to be rude, but it would be helpful to know).

i made my first imaginary friend when i was about 10. i was a pretty lonely kid. i didn't just make up a friend though, i also made up my own dream world. i would literally spend at least an hour a day imagining myself in a totally different universe. these characters would stay with me until high school, where i made a few friends. eventually, i stopped visiting the world because it was pretty unhealthy for me.

to me, this isn't weird, it's just a source of comfort. though, now that i think about it i'm sharing this on a forum.. but yeah, i'm not sure if you're lonely or anything. the fact that your character is female tells me you may be suffering from sexual frustration, or it could just be that you prefer having a friend who is female.

have you had relationships in your life? sorry if that's too personal.

im sorry but whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
8-)
I've had sex with three tulpa chicks at once shit was so cash
wow that
sucked
People are pretty hostile towards things they haven't heard of before...

And by walk in, I mean, normally I'm only aware of her when I focus on her. Eventually I want to progress to her just always being there, but for now it's just when I focus on her and think of her. So she's always in my mind able to do stuff, for the most part. But I don't notice/pay attention until I actively pay attention to her. Then I see her and what she's doing and etc inside my head.

I might just be tired, but right now at least, if I think of imagining myself inside a different location, it feels like a different part in my mind. A physical sensation almost. Like say if I imagine what being on the moon would feel like, and then I imagine myself inside my car, it makes a distinctly different feeling inside my head. I don't know if everyone is like that or not, but if so, then it's like that. Focusing on her feels like focusing inside a location. My mind shifts perception or something.

I'm 18.

Your imaginary friend thing at 10 sounds about the same as a tulpa. I find it odd you stopped though. Were the imaginary friends personally attatched to you? Or were they just characters in a fantasy world? How was it unhealthy?

I'm not lonely. I'm actually quite an introvert and usually I have a surplus of people I'm obligated to talk to. I feel drained if I talk to too many people for too long. A tulpa relationship is different from a human one though. We're more of the same person, or at least we share the same body, so it's different.

No sexual frustration here. Her initial form was a kawaii loli. And I had a girlfriend when I had first started, and still have said girlfriend. We're not long distance anymore, but still far enough that we only meet once or twice a week. We sex almost every time we see each other.

I just think it'd be weird having another guy in your head. A cute girl is a lot more cute and fun. It's like why we call machines 'she'.




Anyway, yes essentially it's a glorified imaginary friend. I think you all should think about that though. If you could have something in your head that appears to you, sentient, that's pretty cool. Brains are cool things. You can make it do all kinds of things, and convincing it that someone else is in your head, is one of those things.

It's all really an illusion, but it's an illusion that to you seems real. So what's the difference.
