Are tulpas usually short-lived?

[Aijada]

A good sign of survivability is when a tulpa starts appearing without their host doing some sort of forcing session. If you pop up unexpectedly to laugh at something your host is reading, it's because you're existing in the background but still very much paying attention to what's going on. Or perhaps when your host wakes up in the morning you notice as well and start the day by saying hello.

 

It helps to be motivated; having your own particular interests will give you reasons to react and feel motivated to speak, even when your host isn't paying attention to. Or get passionately interested in something like writing or video games that really make you want to spend more time on it. Whatever gives you urge to speak up or do something will count as motivation to keep showing up repeatedly (and therefore more permanently).

All of my tulpas are 4 years old not old enough for the expected 5 years but i feel like they will stay here longer. There is no sign of drought for us and still going strong although I am quite anxious that there might be a time where i need to let go but they reassured me to not get too worried about.

 

I think the lack of older tulpas and common of younger ones is because of age. Like other said, older members arent active here anymore because they've move on from this place and their tulpas have grown up. I guess they experienced everything the community has to offer. 

 

Can't say if that they dissipate their tulpas, it's hardly but it is not impossible. I think one common reason why tulpa morality is often high is because of the quantity of their tulpas and distractions. Most host i know often create tulpas far exceed to what they can handle and others, are too busy with their real life and had little time to pay attention to their tulpas.

 

In reality we just don't know about tulpa 'mortality rates' and average 'life expectancy' - further complicated by the 

Still I wonder about all the folks with the mlp tulpas. Do they still have ponies? Have they quit or changed their forms?

All of my tulpas still uses their pony form. my first, summer, is based from the main pony from the show with different hairstyle and added limb. Even though they have their own human form they still prefer to use their pony form because it is very comfortable for them.

 

Summer, on the other hand uses her human form only when she is in front with me and whenever she steps back she always revert back to her pony form. i guess thhey can't let go of them that easily since it holds some fond memories. I cant say the same for other pony tulpas though.
