Talking to yourself and Tulpas

[yiffmaster420]

To preface this I've known about tulpas for a while (mostly from being confused from the olden days of /mlp/ before it became completely unusable) but only recently I've become interested enough to actually try it so for all intents and purposes I'm a complete beginner although I've read through a few guides here and there.

 

Anyways throughout my life I've always had a habit of talking to myself...like all the time. Like whenever I'm alone in my room or walking home I've always more or less had full-blown conversations with myself as I would always kinda hear a voice in my head to talk to. Now that I've started reading about tulpas I've been wondering if it was like some kind of "pseudo-tulpa" or that I'm naturally attuned to tulpas or something stupid like that. I'm just curious if anyone's seen this kinda thing since I've been trying out forcing these last few days so I didn't know if I should like take this into account or something.

Yeah i do understand you. I talked much with myself before i had a tulpa and i started talk with her since the first day i decited to create one. Doubts destroyed it some days becuse i thought it was still me talking to myself but that made her really sad. You should count the answers you get, even if its not for sure it cames from you or your tulpa. It will always come from your brain anyway but you already start train your brain acting and thinking in diffrent perspectives. Also your brain activity increase what helps alot while making a tulpa.

Good luck for you!

I'm exactly the same. In a sense that having a mental debate about something is a perfectly normal thing to me.

From my experience there're both pro and con to that habit relating to tulpae:

Pro: It's not unnatural or awkward to talk to your tulpa and it's easier to passive force since all you need to do is direct your normal speech toward your tulpa.

Con: It's harder to distinguish between tulpa's response and your own. I might recommend to focus on that particular aspect and try to give her unique voice or speech pattern. Inability to differentiate between to can lead to some frustrating doubts.
