Yawning at the Same Time as You

[Thunderfrost]

I have noticed similarities in my actions with my tulpa, Callista, for a while now. We tend to smile at the same time, for example, but that's simply a matter of normal interactions. We don't smile automatically if the other is. One thing that I have noticed that coincides directly between the two of us is that Callista yawns whenever I do. It sometimes seems that it's actually vice-versa: I yawn because she does.

Has anyone else noticed anything like this, if not specifically yawning?

Contagious yawning is a rather well known, albeit little studied, phenomenon. It isn't unheard of people yawning from reading about yawning, seeing pictures of it, and it certainly isn't unusual that you yawn because of your tulpa, and vise-versa.

A young tulpa often shares a lot of mannerisms and tendencies with the host. Over time they develop their own idiosyncrasies and become more separate.

My tulpa synchs her speech to my breathing.

Perhaps when she can synch her speech to her own breathing, it will be a measure of independence/parallel processing?
