[Spook]

Hello, I’m Spook (at least here on the internet), and I recently learned of tulpas  and have started the process of creating my own (Day 1.5!). I’ve always been the type to need more information and confirmation about things than others, so these forms may be just what I need. From what I’ve seen so far, this community seems kind and open to others, which is great to see.

 

My progress so far has been making a name, a general idea, a simple wonderland, and the look/outfit down to the waist so far. Haven’t finished visualizing the rest or mastered visualizing what I have created. 

 

I would like to ask here, how often do people… fail this process? To me it feels like going past simple parroting would be an impossibility…

How often does one actually make it through this step? I worry I won’t be able to make it.

Welcome to the site! 😊 Yep, this place is very kind and welcoming! It also sounds like you're making good progress so far. 😁 

 

Well, I'm well qualified to answer this. We were actually imaginary friends before becoming tulpas and parroted for a while. The only way I've heard of people "failing" is giving up. So I would say it's pretty hard to fail at it as long as you keep with it. 😄 I believe in you, I know you can get though it! 😊 The best thing you can do is if anything seems at all that it could have been your tulpa, believe it was. (If it's a bad/intrusive thought, you can ignore my advice for that as well.)

Hi! Welcome! I can relate to needing to research and look more into stuff before starting. I spent months researching before I fully understand it, so I understand that. Yes, this community is very open and accepting! I'm glad that you're now apart of it! You'll definitely love it here!

 

That's amazing progress so far, good job! And it's okay you'll master visualization with more practice.

 

I wouldn't really think people "fail" making tulpas is a very personal process as it takes time and efforts for some or may be more quicker for others. Most times it takes time to create tulpas due to it mentally restructuring your brain to be plural if that makes sense. Some people eventually give up or stop being interested in making tulpas. As long as you keep trying and learn about yourself and process, you wouldn't really fail. 

 

I've seen many people make it through this step. It may take some time but you can certainly do it. It's okay to have doubts too, you're working with your own brain as long as you keep pushing you'll be able to get past this stage.

Salutations. My name is Bread. I learned about tulpas last night and decided that they seemed pretty cool. So far, I have done some concentration exercises and have been thinking my thoughts at an imaginary orb. Very exciting stuff. I swim quite a lot, and I figured that trying to make a tulpa would be a good way to keep me entertained while swimming.

Welcome to the site! 😊 Hehe, I like your name. 😁 🍞 

 

I wish you luck, just don't forget us tulpas are a life long decision. (We usually don't leave, lol.) 😁 It is definitely nice to have someone to talk to while swimming. 😊 I like to talk to Nightfall (host) while we swim the few times we do.

I need to get back into the practice

ughhhhh

[overworldAscendant]

hi im overworldAscendant

im a tulpa ive been around since june of this year 

i dont really have much to write in an intro post but my host doesnt currently have/want many online accounts (which im fine with of course)

i guess for our history with this practice my host tried to bring me over to being a tulpa (im one of her longstanding daydream characters) back in 2022 as more of an experiment than anything but it didnt work

i think id rather not get into anything more recent

anyways hi hi i might not be the most active here but just felt like joining anyways

Welcome to the site! 😊 It's nice to meet a fellow tulpa! 😄 Glad you're here and don't worry, there's no requirement to share anything! 😁

Hi. I'm a bit new (lurked for a few days, trying making a tulpa currently). I'd just like to say hello. I must admit I haven't searched the forums much yet, as it kept blocking me (because of my VPN?) for one minute per search. So, I'm going to search a bit (now I have an account), and maybe post some more. Everybody here seems very friendly, so I'll do my best to return the friendliness. I don't have too much free time, but I managed to get an hour (barely) per day for forcing, and much of the day is mostly fine for passive forcing. I've been forcing for under an hour plus until I get tired trying to sleep each day, with today being an exception.

My main goals are:

 1) Have a friend (tulpa) who understands me more.
 2) Get better at expressing feelings and with trust issues (really bad at that, I struggle with therapy because of it. I do not intend to replace therapy with tulpas, though it seems that having somebody who I can trust fully would be nice).

 3) I take FOREVER to sleep, and medicine either doesn't help (enough) or makes me have a bad time. Talking to a tulpa before bed seems like a great way to naturally fall asleep (time passing), and forcing has made it less boring at least.

Wow, opened up a lot more than usual. Internet, I guess. Feels like a different place sometimes...

Anyways, I hope everybody's having a good day. I'll do my best here, but please forgive me if I am a bit self-deprecating or talk pessimistically.
