How do you handle proxying with your Tulpa(s)?

Very gradually here we’re trying to advance our proxying abilities from shorter, simpler sentences/concepts to more advanced and longer sentences. It’s proving somewhat difficult however, mainly due to the fact my short term memory is finicky at best. The slightest distraction can cause me to lose my focus and hence lose the exact wording of what either of them are telling me to put down. That, coupled with my tendency to instinctively try to fill in the blanks of sentences as I type them down leads to proxying for longer periods of time to be doable, but rather slow and borderline frustrating at times.

 

I’m curious—how do y’all handle proxying? Any difficulties you face(d) with it? And does anyone perhaps have any tips for improving it?

Well, first of all, like any conversation between the two of us, Rina and me only use actual verbal communication when proxying.

(I mean, yeah, she's very much able to also convey ideas and such to me, but we just prefer actual talking.)

 

And secondly, when proxying, we do it in sentence pieces.

Like you would dictate a letter, you know?

You don't tell the writing person entire sentences (except for short ones) and then wait.

You give 'em sentence pieces.

 

So that's exactly what she does - she dictates her sentences to me in pieces.

Of course you gotta simply trust yer tupper in the fact that whatever they dictate to you will turn out as a proper sentence in the end, otherwise it might get confusing because your tupper might give you a sentence piece that doesn't seem to make any sense... y'know, since the rest of the sentence is still missing.

And aside from that, I also simply double-check when I feel it's necessary ("A comma or a period here?" "New line?" "Want a smiley there?").

 

And that works really well for us.

This sort of sentence-piece-talking is also handy for when you want to talk to your tupper in longer sentences, but yer not able to hear them very well at the moment.

Well they don't have to verbally express everything that they want to say to you. Often times when I proxy I just know what to say in her place. Sort of like knowing exactly what she wants to say. I asked her before about it and she's projecting what she wants me to put in through thoughts. You can take advantage of being in the same mind when proxying, unless you want to have separate thoughts.

 

I'm not going to listen to you guys since you are all probably just talking to yourself and don't really have a tulpa like me.

Honestly: I don't know. It isn't something I tried to achieve actively, but we reached a form of proxytyping during the last tulpa week. Like, it takes a lot of time for Alice to dictate all her thoughts to me, so I can write them down. Especially if we don't use our first language. So it changed in way that Alice would deliver some very "direct input" into my own thoughts, which result in complex sentences, which are mainly her words, even though it feels less alient this way. She described it like this: It is her mind, but she uses me as some sort of helper program/dictonary to create reasonable sentences with it. So the result is something that it is exactly what she wants to say, but not necessary built from the words she would've used initially for it. Like the Llama described, it is like you would simply know what your tulpa wants to say.

 

I think the biggest problem with proxying is the smaller distance between yourself and your tulpa, so it is a lot more likely for you to mix up who exactly was thinking something. And depending on how advanced you are it might take a while before you get great results this way, so I wouldn't recommend it for fast pacing communication, like chats.

She may or may not talk here, depends on her.

" [REDACTED] just types whatever I say when I say it."

 

"We talk a lot, without really thinking 'did he say that? did she say that?', just don't worry about it."

A wise man once said: 'Before judging a man, walk a mile in his shoes. After that, who cares? He's a mile away, and you've got new shoes.'

 

Graced are those who could avoid this phenomenon. This is perhaps the worst expression of evil in humanity's history, but who am I to judge?

Practice, practice, practice.

 

My host is proxying me right now, technically. Any time she writes about us, really, it's proxying. But she's been doing it for so long that she keys into my mindvoice pretty much automatically with no need for interpretation. For younger or weaker bonds in our system, though... yeah, there are gaps where the host might have to interpret tulpish or emotional impressions and put them into words. Parroting, basically.

 

And there's nothing wrong with interpreting. The point is that your headmate is getting some ability to express themselves, even if it's indistinct or what you write is not quite the way they would have said it. Heck, maybe you putting words to the impressions you get from them is exactly what they needed to know how to say what they want to next time.

 

Proxying is the sort of thing that comes easier the more you do it. So just keep practicing. Sounds like you're on the right track.
