A questionnaire for tulpas.

Yuki · May 27, 2015

Today, my friend Vos and I talked about writing down memoirs, or at least some general life experiences. Many tulpas of a decent age have done all kinds of interesting things, met people and forged relationships, but we don't tend to talk about that kind of thing much here. We considered surveys that went around in the past (one of them is stickied on this forum), and ended up making this one ourselves. This questionnaire will allow you to think and share things about your past, your present and future, your personality, your life, and anything else you're willing to share. Nothing is really off limits.

It's a short list of questions, but the answers can be as long as you like. The questions are posed in a way as to make you think, and maybe learn a little more about yourself. I'll post my own answers below, and I hope we can all learn from each other's experiences as tulpas growing up. Mine got very wordy, you don't have to try and match it, but I'd be happy to read what you write if it ends up being long.

Please post your answers in a document or text file rather than here, otherwise this thread will get extremely cluttered. I'll gather the responses and keep them in this original post for everyone to read. Any comments on other peoples' answers can go below. Feel free to suggest questions of your own, and I'll involve them in the questionnaire if they seem fitting. You can always add them below the regular questions in your own document.

---What are your thoughts on being a tulpa? Are you happy in the state you're in, or do you wish you were born in your own physical body?

---Do you see yourself having a productive and fulfilling life in your position, and what are you doing to achieve that life? What plans do you have for the future?

---What aspect of forcing has affected you the most, and what do you remember from the days before vocality? Do you have any vivid memories from that time?

---How do you think your environment shaped you after becoming vocal, and what made you into the person you are now? How did you deviate from any predefined personality you had?

---What were the most defining events in your life, that had a profound effect on your personality, your mindset or outlook on life?

---What do you think of yourself as a person? Are you happy being the way you are, or do you feel like something is lacking? Do you have fears or anxieties holding you back? What are you doing to improve yourself?

---What are your happiest memories? What about your saddest or most painful ones? Any other memories that you feel strongly about in some way?

---What have you achieved? Is there anything you are particularly proud of doing?

---What hobbies do you have and why do they interest you? Is there anything you'd like to pick up in the future? What are you doing to get there?

---What are you interested in learning about, and why?

---What kind of entertainment do you like? What are your favorite things to watch/read/listen to?

---What techniques are you interested in developing that you haven't started on yet? (For example possession, lucid dreaming, pain blocking, imposition...)

---Any other things that come to mind? Please share them below.
