For Tulpas: Do you see yourself as Human?

Well, from a strictly species sense, no my tulpa does not identify as human. But as far as being human means as having characteristics of humanity like compassion, empathy, blah, then yes my tulpa sees itself as "human" in that regard.

My visualized form in the mind space is that of a human woman. I identify myself in my mind as an imaginary human woman. In reality I am part of my host's brain. So in the real world I am part of a biologically human male.

Hazards of having more than one account! LOL Davie and I have done that so many times. It is annoying (to ourselves when it happens to us) but people understand. We do it in the chat too where I talk without brackets or whatever. Oops.

Solaria: I'm a wisp. I defined my own shape, personality and features over time. I do many human things, talk like a human, but I'd say I'm not a human. Even my host who has the human body doesn't think himself mentally human. His body in dreams and mind is of a little dragon. We both are happy with how we be ourselves even if distant from the physical device we've been provided with called a human body.

Both my tulpas:

 

 

Yep. As human as they come.

[FadingSpectrum]

Eury: Haaaaa~. Fade's body isn't ours! So, yeah, some of us identify as hooman, and other's have their own thing going on~.

 

Dracolithian: (IE fantasy race Fade made up for a nooovel) Troy, Medea.

Eldritch Abomination: Drewbs.

???Neko???: (yeeeaaah, Olive's not really human, but what she is isn't really solid either) Olive.

Hoomans: Everyone else!

I'm just a human without a body, and I happen to live in this one.

(When I give questions like this to Lyra, she always either answers with raw concepts, or words that don't make much sense without the thoughts behind them. So, this answer is my explanation of what she told me. One of these days I'm going to hound her for words that make sense on their own until she gives me something concrete...)

 

Lyra is divided between options 2 and 5. She logically sees my body as hers as well, since it's the only physical body we have. She can kinda sorts possess a little when I manage to let her, but she says she does it closer to steering rather than owning the body. (And maybe that's why we have limited success with it...) But she doesn't identify with it intuitively the way I do, and is therefore hesitant to call it hers too.

 

The form she identifies with is human, and she sees mostly herself as such, though she says she feels like she's somewhat different in nature than my own mind.

(Evan answered in words, but needed a little help composing it reasonably since I don't often ask him to do that.)

 

E\ I do identify with the body, though I have my own form as well. I also identify as human, but not because of the body or because my form looks human; I simply am... because I want to be.

 

(Chupi again) He mentioned to me that while he identifies with the body apparently more so than Lyra does, he doesn't feel its sensations directly like I do, and not at all unless he tries to. He didn't include it in his answer because he didn't feel it relevant, but I do. I also asked him about his Eevee form, and he said he's not sure whether to consider that not-human, or a human in a non-human form -- probably the latter.

(I apparently interrupted Anera playing someplace. She gave short answers and ran off. So I'll put what I asked her and what she said.)

 

Q: Do you identify with my body, like do you see it as yours too?

A: Nope!

 

Q: Do you consider yourself a human?

A: Obviously, of course I do! Bye!

"An odd question, I had to give this one some thought. I have a human form, but that's not the only requirement for being, scientifically, 'human,' genome and all. I could think deeper into this but I really don't think I need to. I consider myself human so I guess I am. :D"

Well, you could call me a human, a god, a frog girl, a Touhou character, a tulpa, or a friend. They all mean about as little as the next since really I'm just thoughts. But so are you, and you call yourself human. Depends on what you mean exactly I guess. I'm a tulpa, but I physically exist inside the mind of a human, so in that sense how could I be anything else? And if you're talking about like, my character, I'm still human but not in the same way assuming being in the brain of a human doesn't automatically make me one. What's a "me"?

 

I don't understand the question. I don't think it was meant to be thought about..
