My First Tulpa

[LordV]

Well, I'm a bit late to this forum, and have already been working on my tulpa for a little over a month. And I'm new to both tulpae and blogs, so this could get interesting.

 

My original plan for my tulpa was to create a strong, powerful individual inside of my head, and my design was an anthropomorphic fox named Selena. I was hoping that I could have that personality inside of my mind, able to keep me motivated when I got lazy or otherwise preoccupied. Basically, I wanted a personal trainer/tutor. This was all well and good, until I finally got around to doing an actual tulpa forcing session.

 

The first thing that happened was that I immediately felt that my tulpa was anything but domineering. And, even more surprisingly, I got the extremely strong vibe that she would rather be called Tammy than Selena. And this in less than an hour of forcing.

 

After about a month, through a combination of active forcing and round-the-clock passive forcing, "Selena" has evolved into a kind and compassionate, fun-loving soul named Tammy. While a few vestiges of my original guidelines remain, such as her sarcasm and her 'physical' form, Tammy and Selena are almost complete opposites. After some thought, I've decided that I like Tammy much better. There have been a few hurdles, such as the time the avatar I made to interact with Tammy gained autonomy and went crazy, and my constant struggle with OCD and intrusive thoughts. But so far, everything has been going surprisingly well, and Tammy is almost as vocal as I am. Also, I've just started work on imposition. Any tips on the best way to do this would be much appreciated.
