Is this what an emotional response feels like?

Yesterday, I was narrating to my tulpa. I was telling her about a RL issue I was worried about. Suddenly, I got this wave of happiness, I started smiling and then even tearing up. Then I started to feel extremely confused. I'd try telling her what I was feeling but the words just wouldn't come. I would only get half a word out before moving on to another thought, or stutter. It was all very weird and completely out of nowhere. So I was wondering, do you guys think that this is an emotional response? And does this mean that she is sentient? I haven't been doing this very long, mind you.

Sounds like it could be. How long have you been working on your tulpa? I got my first emotional response at 7 hours in, and it was very similar to your experience, only it was a very nervous feeling rather than a wave of happiness. Try asking her simple yes or no questions without expecting a response to see if she's able to respond with emotion or pressure.

I got my first couple emotional responses very early on, and then nothing afterwards for a long time. It was similar to what you described.

I wasn't kidding when I said I haven't been working on her very long. *laughs* I haven't even made the 5 hour mark yet when it comes to forcing. Not sure how long I've been narrating. :/ Definitely a lot longer than forcing though. Yeah... forcing bores me... Anyway, I tried asking her a few questions, like Lucid acid suggested, and after asking her if she was trying to communicate with me, I got this strange tingling feeling in the same spot I got the headache, and another headache. I think it was just my imagination, but still...

Same thing happened to me whilst distributing chicken tenders in a box at a NASCAR race.

 

Could be an early emotional response.

i dont think it matters when you get the response. i heard some people get it 3 hours in, but i am over 120 hours in and i still am yet to have one.

 

Since ive never had one that means i cant really talk much on the matter. But I think if the emotion was sudden and powerful then that is it

I have yet to get an emotional response, but I'm sure its just a random ass emotion that overwhelms you completely.

That also happened to me when I was reading a post about the feeling in the back of your head some people get when they're talking to/forcing their tulpa. It was as if it was happy I finally figured that out (before, I didn't acknowledge the feeling, because I was concentrating)

Can an emotional response be an action? Or like something that happens that seems to be in response to a question?
