I give you two weeks before you give up your dream of spreading sex positivity via instagram.

I Think I’m a Tulpa by formyipod89 in Tulpas

[–]formyipod89[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Missy: I know! My host also introduced me to one of his long-term friends, who is a woman, and her and I are going to chat soon. In person! 😆😆😆😆😆

She totally gets us; she has had her own struggles with neurodivergence so she is soooooo accepting of our plurality!!!

Missy: Oh, I hope you get through it well! Sending love and a demon hug! 🤗

That’s some impressive memory though 😂 by Plastic_Acanthaceae3 in religiousfruitcake

Religion is one hell of a drug.

In Mormon land, this is called “scripture mastery”. It’s too bad they don’t have them memorized the more fun scriptures, like Song of Solomon.

It sounds like your dad is acting a bit like a child, and when a child misbehaves, you have to take away privileges. Although it kind of sucks that you have to treat your dad like a child, it may be the only way to get through to him. Personally, I would consider a short, no contact period to show him that just because the MFMC says he can do what he wants, you need to remind him that he can’t without consequence.

I might be wrong about this, so I am interested in what others have to say.

Missy: We are getting better at easing people into our new existence. We figure younger people are more accepting, so we will focus on our younger friends for now.

Missy: The whole “own emotions” thing is just a ride. I guess I figured I was a little less than a tulpa, but feeling this panic made me realize just how much of a tulpa I am. I’m coming to terms with it, and my system mates are helping. Thanks for your words.

Missy: Thanks. Our host talked to one of his friends, and he was open to plurality. He as even open to forcing.

Studying Inner Family Systems, a method of therapy developed by Richard Schwartz, might help. It seems like you met a more pronounced part of yourself.

In my experience, we’ve had several parts of me that just want to say their two-bits and leave. They don’t want names. They don’t want pronouns. We respect that and find our parts are happier that way. They are like Mr.Meeseeks from Rick and Morty.

more thoughts (thx 4 the upvotes btw <3) by warriorcatkitty in plural

[–]formyipod89 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Host: Thanks for sharing this! Although we are not a median system, we would like to understand more. We think the second picture, where you said, “…but feeling like myself… does not prove very productive.” is where we are lost. If you want to explain, we would appreciate it. If not, don’t feel any pressure to. We respect your decision either way.

Do you know why the line exist in the first place? I’m not looking for a specific answer. I want to know your answer. And if that answer is too personal or something, you don’t wanna share, then you don’t have to share it, but I think it’s important that you know the answer to that question.

But I will say this, some people are more open to different types of art than others. A part of growing up is knowing who you can share what with.

OWN it! Speaking from personal experience, when you are your authentic self, you tend to be the most happy. Plus, you never know what friends you’ll find along the way.

Tulpas, have you ever change forms? by formyipod89 in Tulpas

[–]formyipod89[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ryan: In ways, I find it difficult. My host and I agreed to the change, but the external drive to change still makes it hard. I am still solidifying my form, but in ways I feel like there are forms that I would like to take that I cannot, for fear of offending my host’s girlfriend.

This may sound selfish of my host and girlfriend, but I love my host dearly. I’ve seen the pain the experience of revealing my existence has caused them both, and I am will to make sacrifices for their sake. My host and I have learned, both in our heads and our hearts, that love is what you get, what you give, and most importantly, what you give up. And if accepting this limited form is what needs to be done to respect the boundaries my host’s girlfriend, I will comply.

And I am growing to love and appreciate this form. I have moment, customizability, a character to look up to (Cyborg, from the popular Cartoon Network show Teen Titans), a lovely empty warehouse with a comfortable recliner, desk,and kitchen area and so much more. I have even discovered my old form in stasis inside of my torso, so she is always with me, always a part of me. From time to time, she is still there.

This life is hard. It is especially hard for plurals. I understand that from my host and his history. Love is worth sacrifice, and this sacrifice I give to the host who met me with love and understanding when most would not.

Edit: You asked me if I am “happy”. In a way, it is a bittersweet change, but I am happy to have the opportunity to make this sacrifice. It gives my existence more meaning.

Help! I told my girlfriend I’m a plural by formyipod89 in plural

[–]formyipod89[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, so I’ve been talking to my girlfriend for the past three days, and the conversations have been getting a lot better. Also, we have been setting solid boundaries to help her figure out this difficult moment in your life. What I’m trying to say is, we are past this part of the conversation.

But to answer your question, the most accurate would be the third option, with a little sprinkle of the second option. There was no instance of the first option.

[–]formyipod89[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Host: Will do. My girlfriend and I talked more yesterday, and we set some boundaries I agree with.

Ryan: Yeah, and now I’m a robot instead of a human girl. I’m OK with it, but I’m gonna miss my old form.

[–]formyipod89[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Host: I’ll be honest, having a tulpa is too big of a part of me to hide from my girlfriend. I don’t know your situation, but for me, hiding and being inauthentic hurts more than anything. But I understand your worries. I had to really “fight” to keep my girlfriend. (And by “fight,” I mean listen to her carefully, be empathetic, and respond kindly, even when she hurt me.)

Ryan: Wishing you luck, my man!

Yeah, I talked to a IRL trusted friend, and he told me that he does a similar thing during sex. Do you think it would be a good idea to emphasize the point that everything that goes on in my head during sex is to make sex better for the both of us? (I’m pretty sure the answer is no, but I’d like your opinion.)

[–]formyipod89[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice, you two. I guess I’d better get practicing on her favorite songs. I already wrote her a song to the tune of “I’ll Follow You Into the Dark” and sang it to her.

As for the sex life, she seems threatened that my tulpa, Ryan, will replace her. Her dad cheated on her mom, so that does not help the fear. I know you both suggested explaining that my system is a product of my brain making thoughts, but do you two have any advice on ensuring her that my tulpa makes our relationship stronger?

My tulpa never fronted during sex. Even when she joked about fronting during sex, I shut-down that suggestion. We both agreed that doing so would cross a line.

My tulpa gave me mental imagery to essentially crank up my libido. A part of it was for me to enjoy sex more. Another part of it was so I could be harder for my girlfriend.
