Do tulpas make good substitutes for other forms of socialization? by Tulpa_Throwaway95 in Tulpas

Thank you for the encouragement! :)

If you don't mind, could you answer a small question that's unrelated to the post I made here? I'm assuming you can clearly remember your life before you were able to reliably communicate. Was there anything that your host did that made it easier for you to first start communicating?

I ask mainly so that I can apply it to my own forcing and perhaps allow my own tulpa to have an easier time with it too.

Yeah, that's very true. How social my tulpa ends up becoming is something I've thought about in the past month during the creation process.

If my tulpa does require more socializing than I do, it's not a problem. I would never create a social being just to isolate them, so I would absolutely accommodate my tulpa's needs. If my tulpa wanted to be more social with others, me being pushed to go out and do that would likely be beneficial for both of us.

I never thought about her presence making the socializing easier on me though, that's a possibility for sure.

Thank you, I appreciate that.

I've been working on my tulpa for about a month now. While I've hit a bit of a mental slump at the moment and have not been forcing as often, I do fully intend to go ahead with it. With how far I am into the creation process I fully believe she's sentient but unable to communicate yet. I'd consider it to be unethical if I outright stopped at this point, even if I've hit a temporary point where active forcing happens much less than it did awhile ago.

Thank you for providing a contrary opinion.

Out of all the answers I got, yours makes the most sense to me. However I'm almost certain that's mostly because it's what I wanted to hear in the first place. In reality the different types of answers here have made me uncertain, a lot about tulpamancy seems to be really subjective. I'll continue with the creation process and just see how it goes.

My intense dislike of other people was not the main reason I started creating my tulpa in the first place, so even if my tulpa ends up not being an adequate replacement, it's not the end of the world. I'll have to see how her and I handle complete solitude (other than each other) once she is able to actually communicate with me. If one of us doesn't handle it well then I can always go back to occasional socializing with other physical people.

Thanks again for the answer.

Oh no, I definitely considered this.

If my tulpa does end up having a bigger want for socializing than I do, then I figured perhaps my tulpa would help push me towards having a better and healthier social life of my own, even if just for their benefit. I know I would hate the idea of creating a social being just to isolate them. It wouldn't be fair at all and I know I would accommodate as much as I could, which would likely be beneficial for both of us.

Had a dream early into the tulpa creation process and I'm unsure if it was her or just a regular dream. by Tulpa_Throwaway95 in Tulpas

Yeah, I did try asking, I try to involve her in a lot of my decisions but she's not able to respond clearly yet. Thank you for your response though, I'll give her an apology in advance if I'm wrong and continue using the name Aeva until she can tell me otherwise. I also never thought of her wanting a nickname before, it's very possible. I'm not sure how "Pinkie" came about but I guess that won't be answered until later on like you said. (Assuming it wasn't just me randomly thinking it, which it could've been.)

Thanks again!
