galaxy October 7, 2015 Share October 7, 2015 Recently I attempted to watch a TV show with Io. However, being ADHD I lost focus on Io and didn't think of him for the entire episode. Does anyone have any ideas on how to stay focused on watching it with your tulpa, or is this what happens?

NoneFromHell October 7, 2015 Share October 7, 2015 Well your ADHD surely isn't doing you a favor here. I would suggest you to do something to remind you about your tulpa while watching videos in your case. Like a timer that goes off every 5 minutes, or something that you can hold in your hands, which you relate with your tulpa. That way you could always get your focus back after a short while.

galaxy October 7, 2015 Author Share October 7, 2015 Yeah, ADHD makes this whole process extremely tough. Thanks, I'll try that! My tulpa is out of this world (his name is Io) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AracnidsGrip/Rick October 7, 2015 Share October 7, 2015 Just try to remember they're there, no need to focus. I watch movies with the girls amd I'm more focused on the movie/video but I still know they're watching it with me too. ~L. ♠️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous October 8, 2015 Share October 8, 2015 I just sit there, hold my tulpa, make sure she's paying attention, ask her if she's paying attention, 'brush' her hair, ask for her opinion on this or that in the movie/show. I do not mean to centralize this post over what we do, but you could try to do something like that. Perhaps wear something symbolical that reminds you of your tulpa, like a ring, a pendant, just something to keep that thought in mind. I am sorry to hear you have ADHD, are you self-diagnosed or was it done by a professional? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linkzelda October 8, 2015 Share October 8, 2015 If processing thoughts on the fly while watching the movie seems to be a major obstacle for you, there's always that post-reflection where you can review over what you think of the movie. Like, you could go over parts of a movie, or an episode in a season for a show, and soak in more conversation with them that way. You can get as much novelty out of debriefing after the experience with them rather than trying to get it in one-go, and worrying about your competency in focusing. Some people may do better getting the raw thoughts out without the intention of seriously comprehending it, and debriefing after, and some just need to get it all said and done; carpe diem, I guess. Quantity vs. quality and transient moments vs. for the long haul are probably the topics at hand here.

Dracky October 8, 2015 Share October 8, 2015 Hosty's never been diagnosed with ADHD, but he still has the attention span of a fruit fly. Most of the time when he puts on a bad movie for us to laugh at, he spends most of it screwing around on the internet. I have to yell at him to pay attention, since I can't watch it if he isn't looking at it. I agree with everybody else, though. You don't have to really think about your tulpa for them to watch the movie, just watch it and talk about it when it's over. Or you can do what we do and make jokes during the movie a-la MST3K. I wanna see movies of my dreams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
