how to tell your tulpa is talking to you and not your sub contiuous?

[Merp]

Hi! I'm new here and also creating a tulpa. I was trying to communicate my tulpa but I can't if it's my sub continuous or my tulpa. Can anybody help me?

Thank you so much.

It is normal to not tell the difference at the very beginning. I'd suggest paying attention to how the mindvoice feels to you. It might sound like the thought didn't belong to you and may appear while you are creating a thought in your mind. That's usually how I know if it's really me talking and we're at the very beginning, so I might not be the best person to give tips.
