Dragin July 7, 2015 Share July 7, 2015 I've just started developing my tulpa, I've already given it a name before actually him or her speaking to me. His or her name, for now, is Nami, meaning wave in Japanese. It is a girl name, but I don't know Nami's gender yet. Anyways... I would love some advice on how I am supposed to speak to Nami. Am I just supposed to think/speak out loud towards Nami? Like... ask questions and just talk about my day to him/her? For example "Today I had quite some fun! I did bla bla bla. How was your day, Nami?" Please help! ;c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FadingSpectrum July 7, 2015 Share July 7, 2015 I assume you're talking about narrating to Nami. All that requires is thinking at them; talking to them in your head. You don't have to ask questions or say anything particular. Though, telling them stories, or about your day, or about yourself are always nice topics. You can even start talking to them about your hopes for them if you want. <3 Just so long as you're giving them attention. A queer soulbonding system with tulpamantic influences.

Dragin July 7, 2015 Author Share July 7, 2015 Okay, cheers. I actually have written a story in my notebook somewhere. I can probably read it to Nami in the morning. Thank you! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bambi July 7, 2015 Share July 7, 2015 When I first started narrating to James, I always talked out loud. I told him it was because I felt that doing it any other way would be as if though he wasn't really there, and I felt strange trying to do it. (Now I really see the benefit of talking inside your head--no one can walk into your room and ask who you're on the phone with.) In the end, it's really just what you think is best for Nami. Neither is inherently better than the other, but there might be one that works better for you than another. Test them both out and see how you do! James: Hello, all!

I also feel like talking to them in your head can make a conversation feel more natural. People can think faster than they can talk, after all, so a back-and-forth mental conversation between my tulpas and I is capable of going a lot faster than a spoken conversation. I feel like if I tried to talk to them out loud, they'd be able to respond to the words as they went through my head before I could even finish speaking them, and then I'd just lapse into replying mentally anyway.

Dragin July 8, 2015 Author Share July 8, 2015 I don't think I would talk out loud to Nami. Mostly because I share my room with another person, and... yeah... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedKkPuppy July 8, 2015 Share July 8, 2015 Narrating can be done really any way you want. It's extremely rare that I ever talk to my tulpa out loud, although I suppose that it would be a nice touch to start talking to them out loud once fully imposed, and if you don't have anyone else around *shrugs* It would help them feel more 'real' to you, as if there was actually a visible person there. Anyways, the example that you gave sounds perfect to me! Asking a question like that would be extremely helpful, as it encourages Nami to respond to it. So just keep doing what you are doing c: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
