Creation Help Does tulpamancy necessitate a sense of self in the host?
I would love to make a tulpa, but i also find it hard to conceptualise 2 distinct entities in mt body cuz I feel we'd automatically blend into one again, as I wouldn't know where the boundary between me and them is, cuz I have a very weak sense of self (i feel like I myself am fake).
Plus i already have a habit of speaking to myself and also speaking to my intrusive thoughts as if it was a separate thing/voice. So, would that create the risk of me interpretting the intrusive thoughts as the tulpa's words or viseversa before the tulpa can fully develop?
Should I try making a character description for them or something like that? I was initially hesitant to do that cuz it feels weird to impose a form onto something you are treating as a separate person, but people keep telling me its fine cuz the tulpa can just pick a different form later..
What are yall's thoughts?
