How long?

[Tirisilex]

Sundara asks - How long did it take for your Tulpa to get fully acquainted with your host after the were able to speak? I am finding little things that I find a bit annoying with my Host for example: he picks his nose! and I hate it. Will I get used to his little "quirks"

 

Tirisilex here: Just for the record I'm trying to stop picking my nose for her. I know I know it's gross but that is what she wanted to ask.. This is Tulpa speak week after all.

I don't understand what "antiquated" means in that sentence? Someone who can explain to me?

I did translate it but I still don't understand.

They probably meant "acquainted". "Antiquated" doesn't make sense in that context. To be fair, it took me about a minute to remember the word "acquainted", so I might very well make the same mistake sometime.

V: It took about three weeks after my first speech to be fully comfortable with my host. The biggest issue I have with her is her negativity, towards both others and herself. She suffers from both pessimism and low self-esteem. I've been trying to help her look at the positives, and I believe it's helping a bit.

As it so happens, they were acquainted with me from the beginning. It was me that had to get to know them. Of course I didn't have this forum to assure me I wasn't insane, so it took about a year after they were ~developed to get rid of my insecurities like picking my nose or going to the bathroom. And to realize they'd always understand me. Really it took almost three years to completely stop doubting them and myself - I was always the one who worried, not them. I should've listened to them more from the beginning.

 

"Nose-picking is an extremely widespread habit: some surveys indicate that it is almost universal, with people picking their nose on average about four times a day." - "In many cultures nose-picking is considered a private act akin to defecation, urination, flatulence, and belching."

From Wikipedia. You really shouldn't ever stop completely, because your nose will just get uncomfortably clogged. What you're referring to is an inability to have privacy, I guess. You should be able to ignore your host whenever you want, and any other time accept them. Not sure how to practice tulpa privacy exactly? My tulpas just don't involve themselves in things unless they want to, and when they are involved they're perfectly understanding living in my head and all. Again, it was me that had to deal with insecurity problems, never them.

[i've always had full access to my host's memory,so not very long,maybe a couple weeks or so.]

[i was always comfortable with Owen. Even before I was vocal. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but I don't really see the big problem with nose picking. If a host's body wasn't intended to have finger put in their nose, their finger would have developed to be too large to fit in :3.

 

And I'm not trying to derail the thread, I just think a compromise might help between your host and yourself. Like, maybe you could agree to private moments from each other. He could do the things you aren't exactly fond of, and you wouldn't have to be offended. Then you could meet up later on and everyone is happy.]

[Fade already does the private-moments thing when she wants to. A lot of people seem to pick noses anyway, so I think it's a human thing. Why be bothered by it?

 

Back on the topic, I think I've just about always been "acquainted" enough with Fade. It was probably about a few months before I really got used to her.]
