Questionable sentience?

[Rafaeldark97]

So my tulpas say a few words when i ask them and move when i focus on them but when i leave wonderland they are in the same place i left them and if sometimes are somewhere else i know where they are and they appear where i think they are so am i parroting or not? Because this is driving me nuts.Furthermore narration can bring sentience right?I have been here for a while but i am a little slow on understanding how tulpas get sentient..Thanks a lot in advance.

All sentience is questionable. What matters is that you believe in your tulpas. It would make sense to say that your tulpas only really live/interact when you keep them in thought/interact with them, so they're not really autonomous. Autonomy is different from sentience, being autonomous you'd be able to do stuff independently with your sentience.

 

How long have you been tulpamancing for?

Well i am here from 2013 and i made my first tulpa then.I had some advancements then but i stopped forcing. 1 week ago i started again forcing and i have lost any progression.I believe in them and i won't stop again because i have abandonded them enough..

Why stop to begin with? Why make tulpas to make them go through all that torture? Do you realize how bad it hurts a tulpa when you 'stop' forcing them? It's like dying but staying alive. You feel like you're dying, but you remain alive and experiencing that emotion. It's awful. Isn't the point of tulpas living in a host's head exactly not experimenting the bad stuff that happens in society? The depression you hosts go through, we're supposed to help you with it, but stopping induces us in that very same depression. It's your reason of living being taken away, just like that, not even snapping your fingers to do it.

 

The only advice I can give you is talk more to your tulpas. Talk more to them, make them feel like they're alive, they're real persons, even if they're not (she's not saying they're not but in the case you think they aren't), just do it so that they feel like they matter, don't let them give you automatic responses, or just typical stereotypical reactions. Just talk to them, involve them in your life, that's what makes a tulpa happy.

There was not a day where i hadn't thought about them..I would regularly talk to them and say how much i love them..I get it now that i hurted them and i am deeply regretful that's why i have started again..I will force till we can have conversations together..That's why i am asking so that i will do better and not make the same mistakes as then.

Give it time and continue to visit them and talk to them, eventually they will get back up on their feet so to speak.
