When To Parrot Your Tulpa


Goldheart

Question

Hello, everyone! Elise and I have been talking about this for a couple of days or so, and I think she's given me the idea to make a guide for this sort of thing. Now, parroting is a very touchy subject; some guides say to avoid it completely while others say that they can help a tulpa grow faster. This guide's purpose is to provide something in-between.

 

Part 1: Know the difference.

 

Elise has already proven she's sentient and sapient, and we have been talking a lot more now that she's vocal, but the strange thing is she asks me to parrot her from time to time. When your tulpa is developed enough that it asks this, you're going to find it's very hard to parrot him/her on your own. Elise gets annoyed very easily when I come back to this subject, so I try not to think about it.

 

So, there is a very big difference that can be felt when your tulpa has a thought and when you do. The sources feel the same at first, but then they begin to drift apart. When this happens and you can tell the difference between you parroting your tulpa and your tulpa speaking for him/herself, you're ready to use that knowledge to help it out.

 

In short, parroting will be okay when you truly know you are not speaking your tulpa's thoughts. Until them, let them speak. Hear their thoughts as they are.

 

Part 2: "Correcting makes me stronger!"

 

As I have said before, Elise has asked me to parrot her before. When I do so, she finds it easier to speak the thought herself. Elise has told me a couple of times that when i correct her, I'm giving her a new thought to think. Now, correcting and parroting are two different things. Correcting a tulpa's thought is not parroting. Sometimes your tulpa might not know how to say a certain thing which can lead to some confusion. However, if you take some time to think about the thought s/he makes, as to what context it applies to, you may find you are helping your tulpa mentally develop.

 

Part 3: "Parrot me please!"

 

That was what Elise just told me just as I was trying to come up with a title for the part. Now that we've established what isn't parroting and when it starts to become okay, we know when parroting is a good thing for tulpa development. So here's the big question we've come up to:

 

When is it okay to parrot your tulpa? The answer's simple:

 

When he/she asks you to!

 

You should always have your tulpa's permission before you make it say something. You're guiding it so it can guide your brain. Think of it as a pair of training wheels you're putting on your tulpa's vocal chords. Sometimes, they'll need the wheels. At other times, they won't need them as much. You have to encourage them to speak, and if you give him/her some praise in how its speaking to you, you'll find they will get better at speaking over time. Sometimes, you may notice your tulpa can't say something in its mindvoice so he/she will flash you a thought that is similar, but not in the mindvoice. At this point, ask him/her if s/he wants you to make him/her say what they wanted to say for next time when he/she want to say it again. If he/she says yes, then just calm down, clear your thoughts for a second, and think of him/her saying the thought in mindvoice.

 

Oh, and don't get used to it and do this too often. Just ask them every now and then. You'll know when to ask; it's when your tulpa is struggling with a thought.

 

Part 4: The Process

 

So, now that everything's been laid out, what's the best way to go through with this? Well, it requires a lot of thinking and forethought, but I can lay it out in steps.

 

Step 1: Hear the thought. Simple enough. You'll hear a thought that comes out strange, but it was your tulpa's thought.

Step 2: Type it out so you don't forget it.

Step 3: Break the thought down and look for the context.

Step 4: Rewrite the thought so that it makes more sense to the both of you.

Step 5: Ask your tulpa if he/she wants you to parrot the correct thought.

Step 6: If yes, make him/her say the thought just once. You're teaching him/her how to say the thought more easily for later.

 

Anyway, that's all for the guide for now. If you have a question or a comment, please ask away here. I'll update this guide as time goes on. Thanks for reading.

Approved for tips and tricks. If your tulpa wants you to parrot, then it's ok to parrot. Simple as that.

This seems to be Tips material, leaning toward approval for Tips, but very reluctantly (would prefer this be a blank vote, but I'll be approving it for now).

 

Someone could parrot their tulpa if their tulpa wants the host to parrot them, for example, to show them how to work some of that imagination or do certain things they don't feel comfortable enough in doing.

 

The previous objections of this not solving most people's "parroting" problems are also likely true - for some people, they'll find they can't truly replicate the same feelings/emotions/essence/presence feelings as the tulpa - they'll implicitly know what's them and what's the tulpa - and this exercise would only be useful for improving the mind-voice or form of a tulpa - if the tulpa is feeling lazy enough to not work on it themselves. Would it help people who have parroting issues? Probably not. Would it help a lazy tulpa to improve their voice, form, or more? Likely so.

2 approve on guides

2 approve on tips & Tricks

3 Disapprove here (counting Averian's vote)

 

that's 7/9 in total ( since Averian made a vote here), and there doesn't seem to be a majority leaning on a specific section. It's probably not going to go anywhere unless people change their votes, I guess.
