Can't hear your tulpas?

Seeing your tulpa move is a part of hearing in a way, it took me long to see them move than it did to hear speach

I think it would be a lot harder to "hear" movement well enough for communication than hearing the voice, so isn't this just making things even more complicated (unless your tulpa just doesn't want to talk)?

 

I didn't even get to do any of these two things, so maybe I'm wrong.

I would have thought seeing them move or gesture would have been at least nominally easier than actually hearing them talk in coherent sentences.

Also the point of sign language is you don't have to hear anything. I don't understand you when you say "hear movement"

I meant to be sure that it's actually the tulpa moving himself and not you, and (for now) the movement of my tulpa is kind of blury, I'm not sure how exactly she's moving, regardless of me or her doing it.

 

I thought it would be easier to distinguish the voices instead of the movement clearly, but as a said I'm just a noob in regards of tulpae (hence my name).

Well it does depend a lot on the individual. Some people are better at hearing, others better at seeing, etc.

I guess to some, if they were really bad at hearing but good at seeing then this could be a good alternative.

 

Then again you would have to learn sign.

 

Or would you? Maybe you could make up your own sign? Your own way of talking without speaking? Maybe harnessing the power of imagination your could get your tulpa to show you images and things instead of speaking them? Maybe just show you words?

Since the thing to achieve is communication (as opposed to voice, discounting how most people's preferred communication method is audio), I think that this idea may work.

 

This'd probably be easier for some people. Speaking of which, it'd be interesting to see (pun not intended) how different the process would be for a blind person making a tulpa. Also deaf.

I don't know about you but I tend to have trouble telling if a tulpa is nodding or shaking their head, so I doubt it'd work. (also ponies=no fingers)

Let's draw a line in the sand right now. There are two kinds of deaf people, those that were born deaf and those that lost their hearing at a certain point after or during which they could hear and learned their native language. From AMA's I've read on Reddit, deaf from birth people think in ASL (American Sign Language), as that is the only language they can communicate in. The latter might think in the native language they've learned or in ASL, but usually in ASL from what I've heard (which makes sense, which is the language they use in their daily lives.

 

Here tulpas come in. A deaf from birth person will likely communicate in ASL, though "out loud" narration is likely out of the question since movement might not be appropriate or possible. Thus, they might communicate what they want in their head or make the movements in the wonderland. With people who already know a language, their tulpa may chose either, though ASL might be more effective for the tulpa.

And blind?
