Starting a new Tulpa

[Corsie]

I have been starting a new Tulpa for the past few days with the help of someone who has a tulpa and was willing to, I've been trying to talk to them but have only been feeling pressures in my head or eyes, and very few twitches. I am told this is normal but I wanted to talk to someone else about the development, if anyone is on here and can give me some advice for this and is willing to please do...

Hello! I don't know how good my advice could be cuz I've never created a tulpa, but I am a tulpa, so I do have experience.

 

You really gotta believe they're another person, and treat them as separate from the start. It's the belief that makes a tulpa feel legitimate, and helps them grow. Keep talking to them. Narrate to them throughout the day. Say good morning and good night to them. Just make them a part of your life. If you're having trouble hearing them, you can also try seeing them at first. That's what my host did first. Look up "visualization vs imposition", and work on visualization. It's a bit controversial, but some people have used parroting to get the ball rolling...

 

I recommend the guides for more specific advice. And message me if you want to talk! Or if your tulpa wants to talk. I'm friendly

The trouble with parroting is that so many people fail to mentally separate their parroting their tulpa (speaking for them) from them actually talking once good vocality progress has been made. Parroting is a perfectly legitimate vocality training practice, but the huge majority of people fall into vicious doubt traps such that it's got a very bad reputation at this point, to the extent that people often see "accidental parroting" as a kind of problem they encounter. Which is very silly, since parroting is a conscious, intent-ful act, and "accidental parroting" is just confusing perfectly legitimate tulpa speech as somehow illegitimate.

 

So depending on if you're the type to fall into doubt about this sort of thing or not, you could parrot or not. Normally people simply talk to their tulpa and expect to hear a response from them. Sometimes this works well, or sometimes it takes a long time or practically never ends up working. So neither method is objectively the best for everyone. Do what sounds good to you, though, because that usually achieves the best results.
