Would the sentiment being also not like it if you were treating as such. I mean, if you tried to fade it, but gave up and let it come back, would it not like you because it knew you tried to get rid of it?
I know there is a thread for this, but you know, whatever. I guess what I am saying is that I am not making a tulpa until I am absolutely sure that I am ready to spend my life with this thing, and treat it as a companion and a living being, not a toy for my entertainment.
