Worried.

[KarlYoshimura]

Greetings.

 

Recently, I've been contemplating how vocal my tulpa is, and if I can hear her at all.

 

I'm half-sure that I'm not manipulating or puppeting her, yet I still fear that I may not correctly interpret her, or actually hear her in the first place.

 

It's been over a year since my tulpa has been present, and only recently have I observed any "vocal" results. With this development comes the anxiety that I'm doing something wrong or am putting words in her mouth.

 

Said anxiety is particularly distressing, especially when my curiosity poses more complex and intimate questions for her to answer.

 

Can anyone offer advice on the nature of host/tulpa communication?

 

Should I trust my instincts and go with what immediately follows my entries in the conversation? Or is there a way to sift through everything else and truly know when a tulpa is speaking?

 

Thank you.

The obvious answer is to just assume that everything is your tulpa; that's the simple way. Unfortunately there is no universal way of discerning what is and isn't your tulpa, not least because the boundary between "is and isn't your tulpa" can be a bit fuzzy sometimes. That's something that you need to figure out for yourself. A good place to start is "would my tulpa say that" if you are familiar with their personality, and failing that you should examine how a response 'feels'.

 

But as you said, your instincts are usually good to go on. We've all been there, to say the least, and rest assured you're not doing anything wrong. Best thing is to spend lots of time with your tulpa and such.

Trust me, when it cones to stuff like this, doubt is your worst enemy. The more you do it, the more it comes true.

Really, your Tulpa's hindered by your own doubt and anxiety. I won't tell you to "just not be anxious" or anything stupid like that. I would however like to bounce off what Waffles said and mention that you're not doing anything wrong other than letting yourself believe that you are. Your own belief is what acts most strongly in your imagination, so already trying to control what you believe is the forst step to proper development.
