I think Arknights is one of the only app game I have played that didn't feel predatory. I've seen people beat many levels with only 3 ane 4 star characters. (I has 5 and 6 stars). Also outfits can be bought with the premium currency that you can earn by beating levels. I guess the Genshin and ZZZ fall into that category but the outfits cost real money. All of them have a gacha character of the month which might be the most predatory thing they have.

Well, that's certainly not a tulpamancy issue that simple advice could address. Whether DID (dissociation) or ADHD (struggling to focus), those are problems for a psychiatrist to diagnose and help you with. ADHD meds can do wonders for people with problems focusing/remembering things, though you may need to try multiple and at different doses to find one that works for you, assuming you are diagnosed with ADHD. I don't really know if there's medication for DID, I think treatment for that is usually more coping stuff, and that isn't the sort of thing that would help with what you're talking about, so, if it doesn't seem like DID to you, maybe leave out talking about being plural to a professional. Just talk about your symptoms of dissociating/struggling to focus I suppose, unless your plurality feels heavily involved somehow. Yeah, sorry, there's not really tulpamancy advice to help with those problems, look into Dissociative Identity Disorder and/or ADHD and a psychiatrist (or a therapist can lead you there as well)

Definitely very pretty and wonderland-inclusion material We have a similar picture saved as wonderland inspiration as well, though it's just a photo we found online:

We're sorry to hear about the manipulation, though that does seem like a novel solution to the 'needs' that might come up in an RP session. Usually we would just conjure up a servitor for that sort of thing and then destroy it afterwards.

I feel like i should post these, in case anyone is interested in drum and bass

Osea after de after ego o algo asi? 🤔

Seconding what Flandre said, results will vary. My experience was kind of the opposite of what you're looking for. The more developed my tulpas became, the more frequently I dreamed about them, and the easier it got for me to summon them into a dream once I'm lucid. I don't think the lucid dreaming necessarily helped their development, except maybe giving me a better basis for visualization. I've found my visualization is a little better when I draw upon the memory of how my tulpas looked when I actually saw them in my dreams.

I am glad to hear that, and I really hope you're able to find something that helps you more. If you do choose to make a tulpa, we hope you'll stick around here. We'll be rooting for you.

(You made another account? I thought this one was for your tulpa to speak, but you're just using it as well) The biggest problem with AI for tulpas.. actually, I was going to say it's that an AI model won't learn and grow like a tulpa/real person and that you only get whatever responses the AI was trained on - but the real biggest problem is talking directly to an AI does not use the "tulpamancy muscles" in the brain at all. It gives you the illusion of talking to another person, yes, but it is literally by seemingly talking to another person. A tulpa exists from your brain having learned how to think/respond as a separate person from yourself, and with some necessary practice of separating your guys' thoughts (aside from the different sound of your internal voices, you should also naturally develop a different "feeling" to each of your thoughts as well) you then have an internal mental companion who can have different values and perspective from you. I don't think an AI trains those mental muscles at all, instead simply being something similar right off the bat, but with no room for growth and, of course, not actually thinking, just doing extremely advanced language prediction based on massive amounts of training examples. Do whatever you like, but I would at least keep what I said in mind if you do try to talk to an AI treated as your tulpa.

There is a difference of feeling I cannot explain in one of my systemmates talking versus me just imagining them talking. It is literally the difference in imagining someone talking but clearly feeling they aren't actually there, vs them actually talking - for systemmates it just happens in the head. But I do think this feeling develops over time and shouldn't be expected to be there from the start.

I think replying to 10 year old threads like they're ongoing is a bit questionable

Thanks a bunch Reina! Lenore and I spent some time playing dress up this weekend. She loves clothes but I have literally no fashion sense, so we've been using things like Pinterest to help her explore her style. These are two of her fave outfits! (We went to a metal concert last year and the lead singer of the opening band was rocking a shirt like this. Lenore was immediately obsessed) (Sparkly dress! Lenore is a fan of these low necklines and sleek yet flowy dresses. I don't know fashion terms but I'm doing my best for her lol) I also got brave enough to start posting on deviantart! I'm hoping it'll motivate me to draw more. I'll still be putting all my tulpa art here, but other stuff (like Pokemon art!) are going to just stay on dA.

Grats on the appointment!

I THINK WE CO-FRONTED ! I'm not certain because I have no idea what it is supposed to feel like, but here is what happenned. Before going to sleep, I decided to listen to some trance electro music with Ella. This type of music generally feels very stimulating for me, creating lots of vivid visuals and opening my mind and imagination. For this occasion I took her to a new place I had been thinking about for the mindscape, a gorgeous forest with an enchanted aesthetic (for other sims 4 players, this place looks very similar to the Sylvan Glade). The grass is fresh and vivid green, there is a small lake with pristine, glistening water. During the day, the light filters through the pink tree leaves while the night sky is lightened by aurora borealis. We danced under this amazing night sky, the coloured lights reflecting in the water and on her body and face. Between the scenery and the music, it all felt very psychedelic, spiritual, her violet eyes piercing through the dark and she looked like a goddess. I had always felt her presence as a halo of warm lavender light, and I felt it pour from my head into my shoulders, arms, chest, all the way down to my feet. It felt like instead of her looking at the outside world through my eyes, I was the one looking through her eyes. The touch of my blanket felt different, the feelings looking around this familiar room were sort of alien, also when drinking something my tongue was moving differently in my mouth. I was still fully connnected to the body's senses, and felt that I could take full control at any moment with ease, but I tried to manage my excitement and let go of this control, I could feel the thought before every movement a lot more than I usually do. It was hard to really feel if I was the one moving the body or if Ella was, but what I know for sure is that we were both fully connected to the body and reacting to the moment, we could also communicate fluently in mindvoice. Sometimes I would overcome Ella accidentally, but I would focus again on the forest, the music, and feel her flow through my body again. We danced gently, admired the light of the city through the window, it felt like rediscovering how my appartment felt like. She also introduced herself to my girlfriend via text, with her own words, after she said she wanted to do it and I encouraged her to. I hope soon I can at least proxy for her to talk to you too ! Then, I guided us through my night routine, funnily the body reacted a lot stronger than I usually do to the taste of toothpaste, and went to sleep thinking about her. Usually when I think about her before sleep I picture in us in the teenage bedroom mindscape, relaxing on the bed, but exceptionally this night I thought it would be fun to camp in the forest. It was pleasingly strange to see how the environment bent to my wishes and despite sleeping outside, the air was warm and comfortable. It was probably the best moment I spent with Ella so far, she was so close and real, and everything was breathtakingly beautiful and vivid Edit : Thank you Lavender for this reassurance, as this post shows things seem to be going better now but it was pretty frustrating to go through and I felt guilty for not being able to give Ella as much attention as I wanted to. Since she would barely communicate with me I'd be stressing about how she feels about it, I know she wants to grow and it makes me sad and anxious when I can't help her fulfill her wishes after being the one that brought her here. But she is smart, and she sees in detail the mess that is my brain haha, so while she admits it made her a little sad, she doesn't resent me and knows I have been doing my best all along. The song idea seems to be a great one, after all she loves music and wouldn't mind it at all haha, we should think together of a tune I identify with her

3/1/25: I watched The Countess; Nina wasn’t really into it and wanted to play Outer Worlds instead. I had some post-surgical pain that felt pretty raw and distracting, so Woodfather (as Splinter) started tulpish-ing a guided meditation (when I had post-surgical pain as a kid, I’d imagine myself in Hawaii; the meditation was based on that, except replace Hawaii with the 2003 TMNT lair). 3/2/25: We chatted about stuff. 3/3/25: We chatted about stuff. 3/4/25: We chatted about stuff. 3/5/25: We chatted about stuff. Some imposition happened. Fluttershy promised to intervene if I had nightmares for whatever reason :).

One that I made for Bee: And one we found on reddit a while ago that still gets a chuckle out of me:

Thank you! Thank you so much Miri!

Surprise presence imposition! 😁 I have done that to Chloe a few times but never on purpose. 😄 It's cool to see that you are both spending time switched in, and it's nice to see you starting to write these yourself! 😁

Thank you!

: World: prahtoolf. Location: Platinum Regis. Time: 6:00 AM. We were in the prahtolfian Palace of Versailles, which is slightly different from the original in France. yanus was wearing a light pink shirt and denim shorts. We sat on the balcony couch: _ What are you going to do today? _ Nothing. I usually don't do anything.

Modern tulpamancy does tend to be more relaxed, yeah, I feel that it's because 1, people now have a better understanding of what is essential and what isn't, and 2, there was more competition between tulpamancers to see who would break the mold first when it came down to making these then new discoverys. I like the formating here. That sounds rough. An accident tulpa develops subconsciously, so it makes sence for them to have been influenced/created by months of planning. Julia may be getting this feeling from the subconscious mind, it's normal to need to check a boyfriend to see if they're still suitable, and to have some (realistic) doubts about people just to prevent trusting others blindly. Good luck, I wish you all the best.

This is exactly what I'm striving for! I'm glad you caught that.

oh i see i do agree with that. i would rather have an afterlife that may start out hard but can improve than cease to exist i feel it will start out some degree of good or bad depending on how i am in life at point of death

[Note] Hello! As much as I fell in love with this idea, I currently have too many drawbacks to do it on my own. If someone is interested in following this method, feel free to do so! My studies, the fact that I don't personally know anyone in the community and my lack of experience in the actual creation process have humbled me and convinced me of going for a more traditional approach for my first headmate. But who knows what the future might bring? Thank you for reading me! Hello! As I explained in my previous post, which I will require you to read, as my reasoning and motivations are expressed in there, I want to attempt the creation of my first tulpa through a method that is slightly different than usual: Adoption. In short, I am looking for a group of volunteers (or a single tulpa/host!) Who would be willing to shape the base of a tulpa, their character, as well as their core characteristics, and then introduce them to me. I will then do some forcing based on these characteristics as I carry out other techniques such as imposition, vocalization, visualization, etc. with the intent of being detached from the creation process and avoid focusing on "character creation" and more on actually working towards the tulpa's development from the start. In good old tulpamancer fashion, I will document as much of the process as possible. Of course I have some guidelines and prefferences, and would love to have a conversation about it. If you are interested, please send me a private message!

Hello! This is something I struggled with before, so I will share the mindset that has helped me regain my life. This might sound harsh because it is harsh, but true, and necessary: Honestly, just download a detox app (the kind that makes your screen black and white and only text with no icons), make a habit of ONLY looking for information in books (download them in pdf if necessary, or use Academia.edu), uninstall TikTok, Instagram, YouTube. No, you do not need them. No one is going to be upset at you if you don't watch and answer to all of their 30+ reels, and you can always explain to them why you disappeared. If you use social media for studying or working, use it in a computer if possible, not a phone. When you want to watch Youtube, watch a movie instead. If you get bored mid-movie and need to multitask, clean, organize something, finish some work, etc. Look for stuff to do in the real world. Go for a walk, visit a family member, attend a conference on the evolutive patterns of mollusks and what they tell us about late-stage capitalism, anything that reminds you that you do not to experience life through a phone. I went to a charity orchestra event last week and I have a webinar tomorrow. It can be as simple or as ceremonial as you wish. And I know it can be cringe at first because it sounds like the kind of activities that only pretentious know-it-alls want to participate in. The truth is, you only have one shot at life: Do whatever the f*** you want with it! No one will be judging you in a century from now. For the tulpa(s): Help your host build accountability and kindly let them know when their behavior is being disruptive, but only if that is truly the case! Talk about your needs, but not in a negative or defeated spirit. DO NOT CALL THIS A DOPAMINE ADDICTION. This term makes zero sense. Dopamine is a hormone that our brain releases, and it is present in all addictions. Calling it a "dopamine addiction" has to be seen as a way to unnecessarily admit helplessness and treat something that is completely normal as a pathology. This is not the fault of your host, or anyone in your system, it is the natural consequence of engaging with content designed to entertain your brain 24/7 for profit. That brain is also yours. So, since you do not control the body for at least the majority of the time, take part in reminding your host when it's time to drop the phone and ground themselves, not dwelling in meaningless and helpless remorse that will only make them want to go back to their phone. Also call them out when they themselves jump into this train of tought. Once you feel more comfortable with taking accountability of your actions and having more control of your time, THEN rebuild your relationship with social media through a different lens: Create new accounts for everything and train your algorithm by following accounts that are useful, make you feel better or only upload quality long-form content. DO NOT comment, DO NOT interact with upsetting/triggering material, DO NOT argue with anyone. Try to change the content you consume little by little. Not only in what it tells you, but also how it says it. I have recently discovered the page of Humanists International, for example, and I also started following blogs that are important for me such as Hopeful Panda. Written pages have the benefit of forcing your brain to do stuff to start processing it, instead of it being played in automatic while you dissociate, and building your collection can help you escape the absolute nightmare that is generative AI content. This is why I recommend personal blogs and NGO's sites for international or public interest news and nothing more. Most of the self-proclaimed "video essay" channels on YouTube have zero journalistic integrity, null communication expertise and no investigative abilities. You are better off using your time elsewhere. Also, super important: Remember to feed yourself well! If you eat sugar regularly, spending hours and hours not doing so can actually contribute to creating the feeling of dizziness you describe. Same with caffeine. Salt, water, fibers, vitamins and proteins are a necessity for you brain to work well.
