How Sensitive Are Tulpas To Passing/Hypothetical Thoughts?

[NeonKnights]

Re-posting this, since it appears my thread got wiped out when the forums went down.

 

I know there's a fairly new thread around here concerning unexpected intrusive thoughts, but this doesn't concern those. I'll try and phrase my question as coherently as I can.

 

Let's say I convey a hypothetical situation involving myself and my tulpa to a friend. For example, I tell him about an idea I have to sneak up and "goose" her with my fingertips. In the space of time that I relay this idea to my friend, I fully visualize the interaction, and even get a response. It feels much more natural than when I normally interact with her, almost as natural as moving a limb. Did I really just interact with my tulpa? Or was her reaction just a simulation based on what I know about her?

 

The trouble is, communication is still a bit shaky between us, so I'm having a hard time getting a 100% straight answer from her about this. For what it's worth, like I said, situations like this feel really natural, but I'm stuck wondering whether or not it's that easy to have a real interaction with one's tulpa. Normally when this happens I try to go back a second time and do the action "for real", but it never feels quite as natural as the first interaction, almost like doing it a second time is just an instant replay of the first time. Sorry if this seems like a stupid question to more seasoned members, I should know the answer to this by now, but it seems I don't. Maybe that's why I'm getting on so poorly in certain areas.

As far as your hypothetical situation goes, it's possible you are interacting with her directly rather than an image of her. It's possible that by not over thinking it you are doubting less and are able to feel her reactions more naturally. I think only you would know that for sure.

 

When I visualize in 3rd person I have had to have 'replay' moments when I time skip and such, and usually my tulpas would sort of play along and guide me through it again, but we might decide just to continue on ahead rather than trying again, it really depends on the moment.

 

 

It probably depends on the situation, as well as to the power you give the thoughts. Some scenarios you may really be making up on your own while others may really be you interracting with her, but in a way filled with less confusion and a way that feels more natural to you. It's hard to say.

Thanks, glad to know that it's possible. Yeah, I know what you mean, it's a case-by-case basis that only I would be able to determine for sure. I suppose I should have phrased my question to be more along the lines of whether or not this sort of thing is a possibility, rather than dealing in absolutes.

 

I guess until she's capable of giving me an absolute answer, I'll just believe that situations like this are real interactions (unless it's blatantly obvious that it isn't). I really like how natural and easy the hypothetical interaction felt. With any luck, the ease of "light" interactions like these may help me shuffle off the last coils of doubt that seem to be hanging around in the back of my head.
