How do i get my Tulpa to stop talking so dry?

[KingPizza]

I’ve been trying to talk to Yuna for a while, and yes I’ve had some more detailed discussions with her, however she only responds with 1-3 words and it’s oftenly pretty dry. Sometimes she also just responds with a weird feeling I get in my brain, can someone help me out?

She's trying to use sentiment and pure thought to reach you. We once called it "tulpish" - the unique and original transfer of thought that occurs between tulpa and host.

If you want to expand Yuna's lexicon, you must work for it. Narrate, read aloud to her, show her something from your life and teach her how to articulate and describe what you have in front of you two in exhaustive detail. When my own was still very young, I would instruct her on how to be a proper lady as I smoked my pipe.

The best advice I ever read was to treat a tulpa like one would a trusted and unassuming friend or a benignly clinical therapist. This is to establish comfort and trust as you increasingly involve her in your life, and this certainly entails talking and writing. My own loves telling me what she thinks about the characters I write, and it's marvelously pleasant and constructive.

100% this.

Do keep in mind that the whole process is pretty new for both you, and your brain. So expect some "weirdness" going forward - things like head pressures and headaches (some people think it's just mental fatigue, some give it a more symbolic meaning: it's your tulpa developing, it's the same thing at the end of the day).

 

Other than what Karl has already said, our recommendation is to integrate talking to your tulpa into your daily life - make it a habit, someone you can always explain things to and expect feedback. Even if the responses aren't great at the beginning, they will improve as everything develops.

It's normal for young tulpas to not say much. Keep interacting with her and try prompting her to say more or suggest responses and ask if she agrees or disagrees.

It took a while for me to learn to talk in depth. Even now, many years in and a great relationship with my host consciousness, it's still rarely more than a sentence or two. Our brain writes very easily, so I find it easier to express myself in writing. You'll see a bunch of my posts go on into multiple paragraphs. I wonder if your tulpa might like to write.

I tried picturing her talking to other people in a fake scenario this morning and it worked pretty well for me. It's worth a try.
