Do tulpamancers take sick days?

[Steel Brony Otaku]

Nothing stops me from talking to someone when sick, at least I have yet to be so sick this far. I don't think I was really sick during the time I forced, so no idea if there would've been a time where I had to take a day off or something. These days if I'm sick, Roswell can help me a bit, see if he can do something about the pain or the sick feeling or just take control and let me take some time off while he suffers, or we just go and nap if it's getting awful. We can still at least communicate somehow, so it's just a day when we're sick and try to get better.

 

Would I take whole days off when forcing if I was sick? Nah. Always would talk about something at least and see if there's something I can do, at least spend some time with them unless you're so sick you can't even think. But still, it's more about making sure they're not lonely than it is about omg they're gonna die unless I do this!!!! kinda deal.

You make it sound like tulpaforcing is just talking to your tulpa, but I assume you're already done with visualization?

 

I was asking about this because I thought my cold would impede my concentration.

T_T Dude...really?

I see where your coming from, but is the name calling really necessary?

Lighten up, man. I was just asking a question.

 

I'm fairly certain he was joking. Thus, another falls prey to the fact that tone of voice and inflection are poorly conveyed over text.

 

Anyway, being sick won't really effect your tulpa. It also shouldn't effect your forcing either. You can still do some work. And don't worry; if you do have to take a break, your tulpa will understand. Also, if you stop for awhile, it's not as if all your progress will crumble to pieces. It stays fairly stable.

I've been too sick to force for the past week, so I just kind of put it all on hold.

(I literally can't even get time to concentrate/focus between all the coughing and blowing my nose. Also, I don't really want to share this unpleasant experience with her.)

I'll resume normal forcing again once I feel better.

I have not and will not forget anything about my tulpa, I care about her too much for that to be possible.

 

I'd say this is the best option for anyone with a sentient tulpa, but if you're just starting, you may just want to repeat a few steps as per however far you feel you've fallen behind.

Talking is what we believe is the key thing in this whole tulpaforcing biz, the thing that makes them sapient or at least seem so. Visualization is a step that could be skipped and it was a thing that I personally worked on later than many others, it seems. But yeah, visualization is done for me, if that's what you want to work on, you could try. If you can't so it, then just talk. It's another thing you would be working on, but it's still something. Forcing ain't all just visualization either.
