Kyl3m August 1, 2012 Share August 1, 2012 Hello everyone. First I just want to introduce myself as it is my first post, as I'm sure most of you can already tell. My name is Kyle, I'm 19 (20 in October) and a student. I just heard about tulpae 2 days ago while browsing tumblr, I came across the creepypasta story about it and decided to do some more research. That in turn lead to me finding this place and the rest, as they say, is history. Not really. I read through the guides and I decided that I want to go FAQ's route. Mainly because I'm not a heavily imaganitve person when it comes to things like wonderlands'. I would, however, like to make one with my tulpa in the future. I did my first session yesterday. It lasted one hour and I mainly focused on 4 personality traits: analytical, laid-back, compassionate, and a good sense of humor. I attempted, albeit poorly, to use...I believe it was Phi's centering/concentration guide. I'd look it up but I'm on my phone and can only do so many things at once. I think I got into the groove of it although I did have some concentration trouble but from what I've read that's pretty normal. Also while forcing about 30 minutes in while focusing on compassion, thinking about how this relates to likes, dislikes, morality, etc, and I got back the name Luna. More than likely that was parroting but I thought it was significant so I figured I'd just call her Luna. One thing I'm worried about is me being a guy and making a girl tulpa. Not to say I'm worried specifically or my intentions ate to have sex with them. I have no interest in that but I'm young and full of hormones and shit. I'm also concerned with having a girlfriend in the future and an attractive female tulpa. Can anyone speculate on this? Anyway that's my stick. Thanks for taking the time to read it.

cruse August 1, 2012 Share August 1, 2012 just be sure to do a LOT LOT LOT on traits. it'll be worth it. and good luck Chloe - That cheerful girl with ponytail. Aigis - The male cyborg that looks like raiden in MGR. Vixen - Half dragon female who looks like Mary in DMC3 when in human form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avalanche August 1, 2012 Share August 1, 2012 Those 4 traits are enough. Having a big long list is redundant- you forget most of them and even if you learn them off it's too complicated to imagine as a person. Could you think of your best friend and attribute 50/60+ traits to them? Even 20 is pushing it I'd say. Stick to your 4 and know them WELL. Can't go wrong, personal experience. Don't worry about sexual urges. A lot of people are in the same situation as you. They either flat out refuse to sex up dem tuppers, or only do it with lot's of love and cuddles. I believe someone once said (not sure who, I think it was a tulpa in the irc chat) that why would you deny love to someone who only had you to love and really does love you? What I'm saying is, don't worry about forcing sex on them by hormones in your brain being jackasses. Pretty much all tulpae here want love from their hosts, and more than half want teh sexy times. If your tulpa ends up wanting you in that regard, be it hormones or genuine, who are you to deny them it? If you are REALLY against it or feel really awkward about it, you don't have to launch into it penis-head first. frt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyl3m August 1, 2012 Author Share August 1, 2012 Thanks for the response! It's funny. I just finished reading through both of your progress reports before I started this one. I appreciate the perspective. My problem is after working out the four traits what's there left to focus on and flesh out for the rest of the development for personality? How much farther can it get? I mean FAQ did his this way and seems to have worked out, not to say you're wrong but again I'm new. But the point about my best friend is a fair point and well put. Regaurding sex it's not that I'm against it, however, from what I've read it seems pretty taboo and that may have warped my view a bit. And something about it just seems inherently narcissistic. I wouldn't deny them love but this is in the future so I guess I'll have to experience it first. I'll keep going with and open mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avalanche August 1, 2012 Share August 1, 2012 4 traits, or any amount of traits is like a foundation to a house. You lay them all down, nice and level and ordered and planned. But then you build a house over it. Now the house doesn't have to fit the foundation, but it does naturally. It'll be built and it'll go up because of the foundation, but after a while you just see the house and not the foundation. The list is redundant after you get familiar with your tulpa. You learn to know what they are like just by being with them, not by knowing how they react because of a word on a list. I can tell you that eventually your tulpa develops their own air, their presence. Like you know how your friend is feeling just by being around them? Same thing with a tulpa. You forget the list and you know them by how they are, not by how you made them. They deviate. Don't follow any guide like it's the bible. All guides have some truth to them, but no guide can tell you how to make a tulpa, full stop. You need to figure it out as you go, but you can still ask us. frt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyl3m August 1, 2012 Author Share August 1, 2012 Hmm alright I think I see what you're saying. The trouble for me, I think atleast, is what to do with the development. For instance, I took the hour and concentrated on those traits and fleshed them out as much as I could. If you don't need a whole list what is there to force with the remaining personality development time? Would it be me just thinking about her just heavily concentrated? This question may seem a bit naive because...well it is. I understand there is no exact way to do it and from what I've read everyone gets there their own roundabout way. But right now it's in such a fledgling stage i'm not exactly sure what to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avalanche August 1, 2012 Share August 1, 2012 Sorry? Remaining personality development time? You plan to just stop developing the personality at 20/30 hours? You keep going until they don't need it anymore. That time isn't a number, it's a reaction. Once your tulpa is talking and moving (talking should be enough of a hint) THEN you can stop, they are done. You let them deviate from here on out. But before that you keep going man. frt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyl3m August 1, 2012 Author Share August 1, 2012 I don't think I properly explained my self. "Remaining development time" means like just a rough estimate. What i'm saying is only having done one hour is way too little whereas 15+ hours would be a generally accepted amount of time to flesh out personality, not to say that they are done then. I think I got a better sense of what you were trying to say once I looked at Black's(?) first progress report post about it. What you're saying is I need to take the base personality traits and flesh them out into different traits, likes,dislikes etc. For instance, Analytical -Enjoys reading -Engages in debates Etc, etc. Yes? I just find the amount of time difficult to grasp. I spent an hour filling out those ideas as much as a could, however, that can't even begin to scrap the surface.

Avalanche August 1, 2012 Share August 1, 2012 I don't think you need to, or should go over likes and dislikes. It's too constricting. Just go over some traits and then imagine what kind of person they all together would make. Then think of all the different situations they could be in and how they would react. That person is your tulpa, not a bunch of statistics or a list on some paper. frt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyl3m August 1, 2012 Author Share August 1, 2012 Alright, I'll give it a try. Forgive me if everything's seems a bit dry and wanting to be on point with each step. It's just my personality. I appreciate the help though. I'll give a try and post here with the results. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
