[Phasor Shift]

Hello,

I am Phasor Shift, but most call me Phasor or Phas. I heard about Tulpa from a friend several months ago, and I looked into it a bit then, but I just now decided to try making one. I am a bit of a nerd, a gamer and a Brony, although I don't want to make a pony Tulpa as seems common among bronies.

I don't actually have any idea what I want my Tulpa to be. I have no form planned, or personality, or name for it. I'm hoping that will become clearer as I start forming, and any tips you might have to help me would be much appreciated.

I would like to share my reasons for wanting a Tulpa, because this seems like the place to share that, and I'm sorry if it's a bit depressing. I suffer from mild depression, which grows stronger with feelings of loneliness. I always feel like I need someone to care about me for me to be happy, and it often seems like no one does. My friends don't really seem like friends, and little things hurt more than they should, such as not getting invited to some gathering. I hate being alone, yet I'm not very social, and my insecurities while alone really do affect my social interactions. I feel like having a Tulpa will help me greatly. If I create a being that cares about me and is always there for me, I would be happier alone and not feel like I need other people to support me. Since the Tulpa really is an extension of myself, it would really be me that I gain companionship from. It can encourage me and support me and the like, while really it's me learning to support myself. On the other side, it would give me something that I can care for and support, to give me something to keep going.

Alternatively, a Tulpa could really help me focus and keep from forgetting things or getting sidetracked. Well, possibly.

 

Sorry for the long paragraph (I tend to ramble) and I hope my reasons are good ones, and I look forward to joining this wonderful community. As I mentioned earlier, I'm not really sure where to begin, so an help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, I'm Draco. I'll start off by saying I have only known about this subject for a couple days, but am highly interested in it and am amazed how populous this forum is. Dunno where to post first but I'll be around

You seem to have a talent in replicating caricatures of fedora-intellectuals. 5/5, i suggest a career in acting.

First post into the community and I'm already getting grief. Lovely. Let me clarify what I was saying then; I'm not here for a friend or lover. I'm really struggling with my depression and I'm looking to make some better version of myself to study. When I say I have nothing to lose, I most literally mean it. If that means you see me as a fedora bearer then so be it. I'm not entirely sure if I'm allowed to cuss on here but consider this me calling you a bad name.

Cursing is fine, according to the rules. Well, fine in small doses. Sailor mouth is bad, but a swear here and there won't make you a terrible person, will it?

 

Secondly, bersinger is just having a little fun, albeit rather derisively. This whole community is just a big family that has no idea how to get along. I apologize for my little soundbyte, if it matters to you.

 

Third; I'm not sure a soul in here knew exactly what they were getting into when they got here, save for the few members that did their research and entered our doors with eyes aglow. You don't really look for a lover or a friend. You don't look for some version of yourself. You just force a thought and go with it. If it changes, alright.

With you and your current goals in mind, though, I'm pretty sure you're pretty in control of yourself at this point and you already have some semblance of a plan. That being said, even with this community being scientifically grounded and focused on the furthering of the forcing phenomenon, you should still hold it in your head and heart that one of the tenets here is that tulpae are around for a while.

 

If you're doing this just to study, fine. Many walked the path before you, and it's now beaten down harder than diamond- the guides attest to that. The people who underwent the procedures, however, came to understand that their tuppers were a part of them, and many did actually help with depression in ways they never imagined. Try not to look at the goal here as 'I should look at myself to understand where to go from here' and as more of 'I should look at different facets of this and try to let what I've made be'. You don't have to want a friend to find a friend.

 

Fourth, I don't know how bad your depression affects you, and I won't pretend to understand depression and all of the intricacies that afflict the people that live with it- however, remember that we are still a family, no matter how terrible family is. Good will average out at some point. Bersinger is one of many here, and I'm certain that at some point you will read or ask a question that no one has answered yet. At that point, you will see the true heart that lies behind these greyed walls and white typeface, and all the care and confidence that it can offer.

 

Welcome to .info, my friend. Enjoy your stay.

I don't. The logic is that forcing out the best parts of me, giving it form and sentience, makes it a more powerful force that bleeds over into my real life. If I'm constantly facing the sunshine and smiles version of myself, there should at least be a bit of a transition. Of course, they seem to deviate away from the original plan overtime so I'll simply have to chance that they maintain the majority of the Mary Sue personality. Anyway, thanks. How to Train Your Dragon was a cool movie.

[Redline]

Hoho, then you're in for a ride. Forcing is a constant doublethink policy! You must be able to both hold the logic to understand your position in the forcing, and yet the faith to know that your tulpa exists.

 

People have called it insanity, people have called it parallel beliefs, people have called it the Art of Tulpamancy. You may call it your objective for the next month or so.

 

And yes, I enjoyed it too. (P.S. I am never this formal on other posts. I don't know what kicked into me while responding to you.)

[Lone Wolf]

Well I stumbled upon this website a couple months back as a guest and read a lot about what tulpas were. The whole concept is amazing too me and I wanted to become apart of this community. :)

..Your goals don't make you one, but implying an imagined superiority complex towards an imagined demographic over an imagined difference already makes me want to tip a politically correct fedora-halo-warlock cowl-witch drum-arrow quiver. Imagined, imagination, imaginary; Hmm, good mindset to begin with, must admit that. One day it will be real in your mind!

 

I'm different.

Bah, explaining jokes causes 1453 years of bad luck, just welcome.

Hey guys, here to introduce myself and my tulpa, Floyd, who's the cool ass zebra I have for my avatar. I've known about the tulpa community for a really long time now, ever since there was a huge thread about them on what I believe was Furaffinity Forums about 4 years ago (It's since been removed and my efforts to contact people who preserved it have failed.) I've finally decided I'm at the right level to create one of my own, so I went ahead and created Floyd about a month ago to the day. Looking forward to getting to know all of you and posting my progress so far in the next few days. This seems like a cool community.

Peace,

Fen
