is this normal

[alexmmorrow]

Hi my name is Alex, and my tulpa's name is Ijrde(complicated name) my Tulpa made that name her name herself. I don't know how but in a few minutes of creating my tulpa she told me her name, is that normal.? Anyway its been two days and Ive been tulpa forcing and I cant tell if I'm puppeting or shes doing stuff her self like :walking, talking, moving, singing, ect. I can only see her when im concentrating on her is that normal as well.? If its normal to only being able to see her through thinking, when will I be able to see her automatically.

 

 

 

 

If I have bad grammar... sowy :(

If your tulpa is doing things that you didn't consciously intend for her to do, then you're not puppeting. Seeing as how she told you her name and you didn't come up with her name for her, I think that counts as her doing things on her own (and yes, it is normal for a tulpa to come up with their own name, especially if you don't give them one yourself).

Hi, Alex, that's a very quick progression but it's not unheard of, don't worry so much about it, at the stage you are in is perfectly normal to only be able to interact with your tulpa if you are focusing, no one can really say when you will be able to see her automatically, it could be days, it could be months, you just have to keep forcing until your tulpa is strong enough.

 

It's perfectly normal too to have doubts about if you are puppeting or not, every one in this forum has been on that stage, a good rule of thumb is that if you have doubts then you are not puppeting, puppeting is a concious act, have you trying puppeting on purpose? That helped me when I was having doubts because when I tried I realized it wasn't as easy as I thought it would, you need to concentrate and think it through when you puppet, it is not something that just happens.

 

Have in mind too that even though you have been going at a really quick pace until now that doesn't mean it will always be that way, you'll probably reach a plateau at some point and from then on progress will get slower, that doesn't mean progress isn't being made, don't give up!
