Tulpa Discussion Thread V1.2

[Naiya The Brony 483]

Hey hey,

A little update from us three!

Soo, few days ago Summer had this idea or talked to us that she will switch places with myrtle. We usually have 1 tulpa on front (Semi-front), like the tulpa who is in front(semi front) is linked to my body or to me which they can easily access (even though all of them can easily do) and all sensation i feel, they can feel it as well. You can say that A pilot and a co-pilot driving a plane .

In the past years, it usually summer who is up front, but recently she decided to lay back a bit and asked myrtle if she liked to and she agreed until who knows when. SO, what interesting about this that everything somewhat changed. When myrtle was put upfront i got this weird sensation of myrtle's nervousness, as if i am nervous as well. Myrtle is usually a shy tulpa she's an introvert after all and i've noticed that myrtle, the quiet and humble one became a bit more energetic. It's weird it's like we both are sharing our own personalities, Myrtle gotten a piece of my personality and i got a piece of hers.

when summer was upfront, given her jolly and Curious personality we are both in synch although i did not feel any different because me and her have similar personalities. Another interesting thing happened the other day was when we were eating our lunch, I accidentally ate something that myrtle's dislikes and something that is ok for me to chew down. What fascinated me was, as i were chewing the food me and myrtle taste it but our reaction to the body was different.

Me, i reacted like "ehh.. it's this kind of food, alright, i can't bring it back anyway" but along the way I, as i where chewing I heard myrtle disgustingly reacted "Eww what is that?". Usually i can easily swallow it without any disgusting thought. BUT i can also feel myrtle's reaction, The body reacted to what myrtle was feeling that time and i felt like i was going to vomit. I never felt that way, I was surprised and disgusted at the same time, that never happened to me before. My body reacted Disgusted but fine at the same time. So i asked myrtle to back a bit and let summer took front that time for her to not taste the food, summer didn't like the food but she was fine eating it nonetheless.

hehe what a day that was, anyway I'll update you guys on somethings that happened to us interestingly

Hey hey another update from us, well not kind of an update but i did find it kinda interesting|

 

Since myrtle and summer's position switch, i kinda feel like some of myrtle's personality is pouring to mine and i can definitely notice that myrtle gained a bit of my personality as well, she's a bit more active than she used to. It's not THAT big of a deal but earlier i felt odd, felt kinda different.

 

I kinda picked up myrtle's introversion a bit, I am usually a social guy who likes to interact but earlier this weird feeling of wanting to be isolated just came up to me. Considering myself, that is very strange. Usually i try to find something to do or someone to talk to but earlier i just feel like to be alone than to be in a crowd, "huh? said me". Myrtle on the other hand, from the quiet shy tulpa, is becoming a curious and jolly tulpa, even summer and cherry seemed surprise. Although, she is still shy and still avoid strangers and new people

 

so yeah, hope that seems that interesting to you.

Actually, it's pretty darn interesting! At least to me, dunno about others. My best guess is that, when you share your sensory imput with your tulpa, it's like switching, but you both are in charge. The human brain may be unable to tell the diferenece where you end and the Tulpa begin in those conditions, hence the personality up front is a result of a sort of tug-of-war between your traits.

Yeah it is something like that, We have like a linkage system where all of them are linked together and two or more individuals can control the body easily. Probably since myrtle is also up front my head register her as well so some of her personality and some of my personality gets intertwine from time to time unexpectingly. That is how I see it, it's not that big because you can switch back to your original personality and it doesnt really harm you in anyway. It might probably even help you out.

 

This exchanging parts of each's personality isn't new to me. It also happened to me and summer back then. Before tulpa, even though i am an extraverted person, i am kinda lay back and usually quiet. When summer became my partner that her extraversion and expressiveness poured in to me and kinda stick to it and it actually helped me irl actually.

 

She got one of my bad side(imo), which is me trying to think the situation first (over thinking) instead of explosively doing it. Which she said that it really helps her a lot making decisions and sticks to it.

Hey, I've decided that maybe I'd give you all an update on how we're doing. Unfortunately, Crystal isn't talking yet, at least, not reliably so. Sometimes she provided a short answer, but I really need to focus on her to hear a faint mindvoice that feels different. However, due to the obvious fact that I'm roleplaying with a character that's very simillar to her (and that's putting it lightly), we had some deviation from that blueprint. I already mentioned that she gave herself a pair of wings, right? Now she got fed up with the simillarities (and I do mean, fed up. She doesn't mind the anthro RP's but when the characters are canon ponies... There would be a lot of beeps in her lines) and changed her mane to jet black, and switched the manestyle. She also got herself earrings on the left ear, resulting in a very "Rock" vibe. Personality wise, she's been also busy. Since I gave her some basic outlines and allowed to decide on the rest, she didn't waste time. Honestly? I'd never expect her to turn out the way she did, but I'm not complaining. Far from it. She has a strong personality, choleric and slightly introverted. Now she's pretty snappy and knows precisely what she wants, causing her to get pissed on me for taking too much energy on roleplays rather than her development, for example. She took up some of my traits that suited the badflank rocker theme, but other than that, we're very different, like a blue Oni, red Oni from TV Tropes. At the very least, our music taste is the same, so we have fun listening to the same tunes - guitar-tastic rock.

 

 

So, yeah, we're an odd pairing alright. Now I just need to make some more effort to give her attention she so wants, but I'm a bit spent as of late.

Gilda: DK's having sort of the opposite with us. He can hear us crystal clear...but he can only see us through his third eye. What he did was create an exact replication of his current location and puts us there. 

 

As Gilda explained, I can hear my tulpas perfectly clear. One of my goals for this year is to attempt to be able to see them fully and focus. Problem is, with all the other stuff I have to do...may not have as much time as I think.

@@Raven Rawne, Oh wow that is a very strong sign of sentient right there. At that early age she already changed her appearance, that is some tulpa you got there i am certainly sure that you will enjoy her company and she WILL enjoy your company . Hehe, she kinda reminds me of some tulpa I know *looks at summer >.> *

 

What?

 

not much really kinda reminds me on how you dislike twilight sparkle when I talk/think about her or you even seeing her

 

Pfft, Heh >.> she is ok i guess, humph. Just, do not compare me to her I am not Twilight sparkle!  .

 

Yeah the moment summer was born and me talked about twilight she really dislike her and quickly changed her appearance to look different than her but still retaining the first form she has when she first met me, you can say i kinda tease her for fun X3.

 

humph!   

 

Anyway

 

Having almost similar traits of the tulpa from host, I am no that sure, but i think it is really common for tulpas created intentionally. I mean summer, i did not give her any personality traits, I freely let her choose hers and ended up having a similar personality to mine  but she is also different from my personality. Just a little more time and she'll have her own voice! Good luck

What can I say? She's the type who will yell at you till you go and do stuff, because that's for your own good. (Damn right *redacted*!) Given my tendencies at overthinking things and then not acting anyway, it's rather useful motivation. I think the personality differencies will only act in our favour, all things considered.

 

I've already selected a voice I'd like her to have, but I need to look for some samples and give them a listen or thirty. It's Verse from Tyranny, BTW. You should totally check out that game for her voiceover, and that of Voices of Nerath. I chose an obviously bad plot line just to listen to him talk some more, and then mimicked him for a week (yes, I do mimick a lot.)

yeah, i am just kidding, sometimes summer tends to do that but you know she just want me to accomplish the task immediately. But hey it's really helpful, also I would personally like to welcome crystal clear .

Hmm, i didn't have trouble with the voices, tbh they just pop up along with the tulpa. Summer's voice is similar to twilight cuz she has her "Form". But yeah, I'll sure to check that game out thanks X3

Hey guys, thought I'd share nome news with you! (More like brag but, whatever shines your crystal...) Yeah... anyway, Crystal made some more changes, this time in the Wonderland I cobbled together for her. So I fashioned a nice, comfy loghouse by the lake, your typical National Geographic in Canada scenery type of thing. Last week, I went to check up on her and, turns out she made some changes. (Long overdue I may add. That place was soooo not my style. I guess Raven has a thing for Canadian conifer forests and loghouses in the middle of nowhere. So I decided to redecorate, simple as that. He said it was my place, after all.) Okay, it was my style, but I didn't know hers at the time. Turns out, she likes sci-fi (Everything is better in space, duhh!) and now lives on some space Yacht. I've only seen her quarters, and the view from a big window she has there. No idea what size or type of vessel it is though. Seems like an original design rather than a copy from some sci-fi universe. (Of course he had to question my choice and ask a million times if I did that, but finally I have a place I like. If he only spent more of his oh so precious time with me, rather than on some stupid roleplays, we juuuust might get some progres in here. A mare can dream, I guess.) Okay, guilty. But we're moving out to a rented apartment in like, three weeks, so I won't have anyone breathing down my neck when I come home, and I hope to spend more time on forcing once I actually get there. (Or waste even more time on video games and stuff like that. Your to-do list is veeery optimistic.) At least I'll have somepony to tell me precisely how many of my plans end up in trash.

Hey, its half... no all the reason I talked you into getting into these forums in the first place! I feel all jittery... but maybe that's because its so late... Ah, ya big wussybottom-flutternutter! Your cute when you do this, you know that?   Oh let me get on with it already!

 

  Not that I'm...*ahem* Just looked up this whole tulpa thing and its quite a-Ampersands,Honey! We need our dramatic flair don't we? Oh quit pushing, I agreed to this didn't I?...

-astonishing how much it seems to apply to me. See, I've kind of led a lonely life. Don't... wanna go into detail, but I've had to retreat into myself an awful lot as a child & I've felt like I've spent time just so far back into my head I could hear space. To, uh, put it one way... expressing myself has never been my strong suit. On top of that, building characters & a story around them has always been extremely important to me as I've always been a bookworm. Fictional has always been very close to reality for me. As i've... uh, only just now started to get around to, uh, exploring myself & trying to get more creative in order to understand myself better as to how I make my own decisions. And, uh, Widdershins is sort of that... portion of my brain I've dedicated as my creative side.

   Can't say I ever remember having had an imaginary friend, but now that I've put effort into the guy, it sort of feels like he's always been around. I've always been one to play card games or board games with myself and sort of just split myself in half mentally to where I still know what I'm doing but reacting like I'm not. Guess I'm saying that it seems like I've been inadvertently creating Tulpas all through my life, I'm only just now giving them names. I know it kind of almost sounds crazy, but I could swear I could feel him moving around in the back of my head.

 We gonna try that 'having sex with your tulpa' thing we just dredged up on the internet?

You know you love the way I make us giggle! I'm as much a part of you as we are separate! I'm your creativity! Your muse! Your acceptance of the bizarre! Your love of life! Heck, love in general! Is it only coincidence that I've shown up as you've been "getting better" what with the therapy and whatevs?

   Still...I don't wanna look too crazy on the internet... Iiiiiinterneeet! Oh hush...

I'm as much a part of you as the air you-   I suppose it bodes ill how I have to keep cutting him off...Sigh, growing pains of a tulpa, I suppose.

You two seems a fun bunch , Hi!

 

About your question, I actually do not know a correct answer to this. I mean your question highly revolves around "Dissociative Identity Disorder" Or "DID" which is still pretty much a controversial topic in the tulpa community. Anyway, might as well give my two bits about it as well. 

 

I don't think having a tulpa considered you having DID or Multiple personality. Even though your tulpa have a personality on their own and is living inside you, YOU still have control over your senses unless you "switched" with them. Dissociative identity disorder or DID states a high form of Dissociation, Meaning you do not have control over your senses and mental state, a tulpa or having a tulpa doesn't dissociate you from your senses,except for switching, but both of you share the senses of the body,

 

So, yeah that is my two bits about I don't believe tulpa is having like multiple personality, even though by different terminology a tulpa is called a personality. 

 

Also to add something up, We know if our partner is acting odd or not. We make sure, or try to make sure, they don't suffer from this kinds of ailments

 

also you said, " you've been inadvertently creating Tulpas all through my life" does that mean you have more than one tulpa?

[Raven Rawne 1,381]

Nowadays she's holed up in her space suite, but once I convince her to show up,  she's rather active.  Still, I need to really concentrate on her to pick up any replies.  She tends to reply before I finish asking and it all gets chaotic. That,  and she's not afraid to tell me about her displeasure that I force so little. I have a term on her attitude but it's not really forum friendly.  Funny thing is, that she's proud if it. And I'm okay with the way she is,  even more strangely. I'm not giving up the roleplays, even though she hates it - I parrot the RP character in my head and process it's emotional state for a full simulation. She says I'm forcing a puppet rather than her. Once I finally move out in like, two weeks time, I'll have all the time for her though.

[Widdershins 9,959]

Teeeew-pah!                   I'm beginning to think that you may have goaded me into researching this topic just so you could do that impersonation repeatedly.

   Awwwtimate! Tuuuuulpaaaaaa!                       You'll have to excuse him folks, he's kind of a representation of my inner child, and as such is a huge muppet essentially.

 Hey now, that meme is a perfect example of our relationship! What?!    Should I do it?    Dhew eht! :diamondtiara:       Hah...ha.../sigh...

 

  

 

also you said, " you've been inadvertently creating Tulpas all through my life" does that mean you have more than one tulpa?

   Well, to answer your question, yeah, I suppose so. While I don't remember ever having had an imaginary friend (Widdershins could just as likely be my forgotten Imaginary Friend recreated now that I'm on my own and sitting on my hands with nothing to do) I did have more then the adequate amount of imagination to do so. Wasn't hard for me to mentally write myself into pretty much any television show I was even slightly interested in. I did bring up that thing I do where I play MTG by myself as several distinct personalities and sort of play them off each other.

   I suppose an original character that your deeply, emotionally invested in isn't too far removed from being a tulpa. When I've gone so far as to make six theme decks around each of them, guess I can't argue that I'm invested in them! I call my 'sona's my Big Three as far as my OC creating goes, but Ambie is basically just a projection of myself, so I'm content leaving him be as a ponysona. Then there's the great big cluster-Widdy!-buck that is the hydra! Sort of a, uh... Well, they're more roles I'd say then a straight-up Tulpa. I've always been one to psychoanalyze myself to figure out the ins & outs of what a personality actually is, so I'm very well acquainted with disparate parts of my psyche. Like, the first three heads of the hydra are sort of my representation/interpretation of Ego, Superego & Id. Though, I suppose Freud's theories have been largely discredited...

Not to mention how he keeps forgetting the difference between Ego & Superego! But while their distinct, they're still all sort of interconnected and thus, why they're a hydra & not yet as solid as something like Widdershins. Sort of... what's the phrase you use? A Nnnebulous Construct! Sounds pretty, don' it?!!?

 

    Anyhow, thanks for that reassurement on that question, Naiya. I suppose when it comes down to it, trusting your tulpa is sort of like trusting yourself. Their a product of your mind so they wouldn't do anything you wouldn't do to you... uh, I think...

 

  Ooh! Do that gag I mentioned!    Ugh, I ain't here to play your straight man...  Dhew eht! :diamondtiara:    Well, if I had to describe Widdershins, roughly, to somebody, I'd say he's sort of like a long, fuzzy, dragon.  Like Flacor! Neverendiiiiing Tewwwwpah!

 

                  Falcor Punch!!

   Update: Well, okay, fine. So they are.

      Was real nervous going into town today, so I had Sunny & Slimpsy tagging along behind me.

Now, I'm just looking into this, so I can't rightfully say what is or isn't a Tulpa, but I guess I kind of think of them like Aura projections or a sort of, like, guardian angel. Well, except Solumn, he's sort of the antitheisis to that last bit there. That's what Sunny & Slimpsy were today, sorta like two friends tagging along to provide encouragement or ... their idea of what would be a "safe" thing to do.

  It's twenty degrees out! That probably kills some people! Whattaya want from me?!   Maybe not be such a big party pooper about it?

 

 So, I guess, if we include that little hydra/family of our OCs... what does that bring us up to then? Uhh, Eight! If we're including Solumn! Yeah, he counts. Even if you don't want him to, boopy! Now I can't say they all happened at once, or how old any of them are... or even If I can give specific examples of a few of them, but... Yeah, guess they count too. I really oughta read that original post sometime soon.

  I suppose when your alone & feeling lonely & I reach back to pet Sunny, while still knowing full well not to try that in public, then that probably counts as a tulpa...heh...                                          Heck, there's like three of us in the room with you now!    Great, now your starting to creep even me out...

 Heh, least I don't have to buy food for you guys!

*taps chin with a hoof, cocks head slightly, thinking* Hmm... I can't put my hoof on whether that Widdershins type is cool or totally insane. What's worse, one doesn't exclude the other... Welp, least he's got some company. Thanks to that idiot and his roleplaying addiction, I'm getting lonely in here!

 

She's jelly of her namesake and her life in my main RP.

 

DO NOT!

 

Do too.

 

Shut up...

 

*shrug* Guess I could think of some company for her, but I'm fresh out of ideas.

 

Oh I'll give you some then...

 

Uh huh, I bet you can, but I'm not really sold on this. I know you, after all.

 

Grrrr... Stupid hosts and their morality codes.

 

Anyway, back to topic. @@Widdershins, I guess I get what you mean by "creating tuplas by accident". I used to have temporary thought forms, but nothing as solid as miss cool (Well, DUH!). Also, as an avid daydreamer and a loner, plain and simply, I can relate to the need to keep oneself occupied, mentally, by making up narratives and stories, building places in my head, stuff like that. Thinking about something long enough tends to make it stick in the mind, like a trail through the woods. Tulpas are made pretty much the same way, although most of the time it's supposed to be a concious effort rather than a bybroduct of an active imagination.
