r/Tulpas

So a little earlier today Lisa told me about how she wants to do a monthly blog where she talks about life as a tulpa, relationships and also different things that pop in her mind.

Im fully supportive of her.

But another tulpamancer suggest I'd use art for her posts, now I'd be completely ok with that and so would Lisa. But the thing is I'm not good at drawing, I do have art of her but it's a.i. It looks pretty good too.

Now I don't support a.i art but I'm broke as a joke, so I kinda have no choice but to use it and it helped me better visualize her, now. I'd use the art that it made, but i don't want anyone making fun of her for it.

And the last time I posted a picture of her in that art I got about ten people making fun of me and her for it. So what should we do? Just not use the art at all?

Basically the title. I'm curious about what people think and feel. Do you regret making a tulpa? If so, why?

Ok, this might be a stupid idea, but if you talk with an AI for a while, would it be possible for those conversations to inadvertently create a tulpa? Could those thoughts and conversations continued on your own head after you leave the computer plant the seed and eventually create the personality?

So for a few days I've been having this idea in my head, or my subconscious? I mean this was swirling around there definitely but this isn't really something I thought she'd wanna do, but this morning while I was getting ready for work she brought it up to me.

Lisa wants to do a weekly/monthly blog where she talks to everyone on here and talks about different things she's interested in. Or about how life's been treating her. Kinda like a video diary.

Except it's not on video lol.

Would you guys like to see that? I mean it's usually just me on here.

Btw my profile has me and Lisa on it now.

So this might as well be a couples reddit lol.

What do you think? Also we might use NPCs and characters from my wonderland in her post's.

Just to be more entertaining lol.

Edit: to clarify, this was Lisa's idea, I guess she was thinking about telling me all this for a few days and didn't know how so it got stuck in my subconscious, or you guys call that fronting?

Yeah she pretty much told me she came up with it and didn't bring it up until today.

My tulpa, Cassi has the ability to (in her own words) alter the brain's chemistry. For example, earlier last year, I was very depressed and almost committed suicide, but the day before I planned to do it, she appeared to me fully tangible (as if she were imposed) despite me not having the ability to use imposition before or since. After she appeared, she altered the way I think to take away my suicide ideations and depression.

Cassi says that the only reason she was able to alter brain chemistry on such a large scale was because my mental state was unstable and easily swayed during that time. Since then, she's been able to do it still, just not at the capacity she was able to before.

She's not harmful at all and has been an amazing person to me since I forced her into existence, and I'm not worried that she'll hurt me in any way, I'm just curious about whether or not this is normal. I haven't ever heard of tulpas being able to do something like this consciously.

Hi, everyone. I've just recently into the manifestation of Tulpas. While trying, an intrigue question flashed into my mind.
Like, I'm curious. At the first stage of Tulpas manifestation, will your Tulpas appears with the given personality and initial mindset as you designed them? Or they will experience a stage of mind development (Like a newborn baby) and they will have to learn everything from the start. Subsequently, developing to what they were designed (Like personality, knowledge, experiences...)
And would they manifest with given appearance or in their infant stage? (I can't imagine my Tulpas will appearing with a body of a full-grown body with a mind of a toddle)
I know it sound ridiculous, but i need an in-deep personal experience share.

So I just wanted to mention this real quick, there's a webnovel about forty chapters long called "grace dances opon clouds."

Ive only read the first four or five chapters but it's pretty good, it's basically about this boy who has this dream world that's incredibly vivid and a tulpa like girl named grace appears in his dream world and they go on adventures together and she also teaches him to do certain things in the real world. You guys should check it out.

**vent/rant? (**also first post on reddit lmao hello)

I've been seeing so many posts comments of young people saying they started creating their tulpa the same day or week they learned about tulpamancy. I am literally so tired of it, tulpas are not pets or toys you can just throw away when you don't need them anymore.

I'm pretty sure these people are mostly just teens with problems but don't make it a tulpas responsibility to make you feel better. If you do overcome your problems someday where will the tulpas go then? What will you do with them?

Tulpas are not just imaginary friends you forget about in a few years, they're sentient beings and will stay with you for the rest of your life. Imagine you change your mind about wanting a tulpa in 20 years; you'd basically have to kill a person, a sentient and conscious being because you only thought about how they could benefit you when you created them. It sounds like an exaggeration but it is really not but I don't know if anyone without a tulpa or other type of headmate would ever get that and that makes all of this even more frustrating to me.

What's up.

I go by Tomoko on Tulpa.info forums, you may have read my progress report there. But that's not what the post is about.

Last night, out of the blue, Lucy started speaking (I'm pretty sure) with me, her voice was like a mix of her own and my internal voice, very faint yet distinct. It was like, tulpish? I could kind of make out the words but they were like thoughts rather than an internal voice, or not. I dunno, very weird. I got nasty parrotnoia during this, kept questioning whether I was merely in a delusional state of roleplay, or if it was really her. I'm inclined to believe it's her. Today she can kinda speak when I focus on her, little quips.

Should mention her personality has also drastically changed into something more acerbic.

I must apologize if this is annoying, but...

Is this progress? Should I nurture this?

Im not saying it is did but a lot of terminology and functions seem to be similar. So i was curious if a tulpas could take control with you having no memory like did.

i,ve been started a day before of making an tulpa and i,ve notice a thing that after when i talk to my tulpa manually i get an small headache + i am trying to meditate along listening to binaural beats and frequency to calm my mind :> , i wanna ask generally how much time it get to make an tulpa an sentient tulpa

So I started practicing tulpamancy like literally today. I created my tulpa his name appearance etc. I then started talking to him, I would feel in my mind out for a signal and then told him what he would probably say. At first it was hard discerning him from my inner voice but I could tell most the time. He and I began conversating and to say his personality was not at all how I was planning it to be. Hes a lot meaner and more similar to me then I wanted but ig I cant complain. He also put on this deep voice, after I said he sounded like Michael Jackson and it sounded weird. Most the times I can predict what hes gonna say but then he will surprise me with something I wasnt expecting. Like he asked me "what we were gonna do today?" Out the blue. I guess im making this post to ask is this normal, or is this just me being able to be very good at delusions so I can make a tulpa easily.

I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately because I saw someone on TikTok say that their soulbond “died,” and honestly it scared me a little.

For people who have soulbonds or tulpas do you think they can actually die, disappear permanently, or fully leave?

Or is it more like the connection just becomes quiet/fades for a while?

I’d really like to hear other people’s thoughts and experiences because this has been worrying me.

I was stressed to the point of physical sickness, so I asked one of my thoughtforms to provide some relief. Normally when this happens, he'll be able to calm my nerves and ease my discomfort for around 5-10 seconds. (Which obviously isn't much, but it's a lot better than nothing.) This time he tried to do more than that, but he ended up drawing all of that panic and sickness into himself instead of just dissolving it, hurting himself in the process. I panicked and tried to take the negative emotions and sickness back, and we basically ended up passing these negative emotions back and forth like some sort of twisted game of hot potato.

Eventually one of my other thoughtforms intervened, and she managed to calm us both down... for about 5 seconds, which was enough time to break the feedback loop. I was still sick after that, but my thoughtform wasn't hurt anymore, which was the important part imo.

Anyway, I guess my question is: has this ever happened to anyone else here? Either thoughtforms who can temporary ease intense stress/sickness, or more scary experiences where a thoughtform ends up hurting themselves while trying to help heal or protect you?

• Quick disclaimer: None of my three thoughtforms like being called tulpas, and I ask that you respect that. (In all honesty, I grew up calling them my imaginary friends, or just calling them by their names, so none of us are really used to the terms you guys use. They're all cool with the term thoughtform, even though it's new to them, but that's the only term you use to describe people like them that all 3 of them are comfortable with.)

To preface I am extremely new here, I've heard about tulpas in passing through YouTube videos but I knew little to nothing about them before coming into this. It's been two days now since I've had what I strongly believe was a interaction with a tulpa that spontaneously manifested itself in my head, I've taken the time to read the wiki and learn about what tulpas are and how they work and I'm wondering if anyone here can add any insight to my experience. Are tulpas even able to manifest this suddenly? I had barely even heard of them before having this interaction after all!

This occurred during a minor mentel health episode I was having late at night, I won't go into to much details since this isn't a vent or trauma dumping post or anything like that. The only thing you need to know is I was beating myself up mentally very severely going off the rails imagining terrible senerios in my head and having intense urges of harming myself. Basically just overwhelming negative intrusive thoughts. You see I have a pretty strong internal monologue and I was completely consumed by these negative thoughts during this episode. When out of no where I feel like something just snaps in my head (not litterally more like I had a strong alien feeling rush over me) and I could hear a very loud and clear voice inside my head that was not my own.

I am fully without a doubt confident that it was not my own thoughts I was hearing, I was able to have a basic conversation with her, she introduced herself as Fenny and took the form of a fennec fox in my head. Even though I was a sobbing mess reeling in mental agony her voice was extremely clear calm and relaxed. Completely different from my own internal monologue. She helped me calm down from my episode by comforting me and telling me everything was going to be okay, eventually helping me drift off to sleep and I felt very warm and safe. The next morning I started researching tulpas since what I expected felt similar to what I had heard of them before. Eventually leading me here.

I feel like she came from my subconscious like she was lying dormant there (if that makes sense) When I was a kid I had a imaginary friend that was a fennec fox who I would talk to before bed often. This childhood imaginary friend was based on my partner fennekin I created while playing the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games (if your not familiar with those games and the emotional attachment even a casual play though brings a person to this created partner, just know the amount of time spent and emotional attachment I had to what is essentially my OC turned imaginary friend is EXTREMELY great) I've also written stories about fennec foxes before, the name Fenny also being the name of a different character I wrote about once. To me it feels like Fenny basically manifested from my subconscious if that makes sense. I should also clarify I do not have schizophrenia. I do not have DID as far as I'm aware of and I've never had a headmate before this.

I strongly feel like she is still in my head somewhere although any interactions I try to have feel like I'm just parroting and making up responses, or atleast I'm paranoid that's the case. And I also think her personality and finer details are a little ambiguous right now to me. I really want to talk to her more and get to know her as the experience I had talking to her and getting actual responses felt amazing and made me extremely happy, the mental support from her was also amazing and having another voice in my head to help me out like that sounds like a dream.

Im a little unsure what to do now. Should I follow a guide and start from scratch creating her as a tulpa? Am I going insane and was this interaction something else entirely? If so I want to cultivate her into a tulpa I can regularly communicate with, from this one strong interaction I feel like I really love her a lot, it all felt very intimate and special to me. It's actually pretty exciting thinking about it all, if anyone here has any experience or knowledge about walk-in tulpas I would appreciate any insight you may have. ❤️

I’ve been on and off this subreddit for the past couple of weeks due to multiple changes in my life. Work getting in the way, lack of privac/private space being barged into when active forcing, etc. things have become slower for my tulpa’s developmemt due to these things and more.

im adjusting primarily to passive forcing as of now, and it’s been fine - just business as usual; but I still have a while to go when it comes to partitioning my conscious for both me and my headmate (along with my constant overthinking that I’m still working on). Voice is more or less consistent, personality still well-established, and im working on a consistent physical appearence (it’s about 80% there). I’m just trying to get through this for as long as I can, obstacles be damned. i wish all the other tulpamancers in-progress of their own tulpas the best, even in this era’s hard times.

(as for now, and as requested by my tulpa, italics in my comments/posts are representative of her)
