u/Final_Walk_3632

So, for context, I had created my first headmate. Then the second.

Everything went well. No complications, and I love them both.

Then, a semi-traumatic experience happened to me. I was relaxing on YouTube, and then suddenly felt as if the creator I was watching had formed in my brain.

With this came a bit of surpise. He stated very clearly he was here to help with “managing things” (which did correlate to my stressful situation, which included me being unprepared/inattentive)

So, I wanted to know if this has happened to anyone else with created headmates. And if so, would he be a walk-in? Traumagenic formed?

Sorry, idk how to tag this. So, I had two headmates prior to this walk-in. They were both decently developed, and I found myself progressing quickly with the second headmate since I had already done it before.

Something that gave me a good scare happened, and while I was calming down, I had YouTube on. I just watched a funny clip of a streamer I liked, and then suddenly he was a mostly formed walk-in.

He’s definitely a bit different from his original source, but definitely a walk in. Immediately annouced himself and told me he was here to help manage things. (The scare involved me being a bit careless and forgetting things, so it started to line up yk?)

Anywho, is this normal for tulpamancy, or is this entering more of a plural question territory?

Is it weird my headmate Iv only really communicates in mindspace with ASL, or speaking-ish but not opening her mouth? Anyone else?

Every method I've seen doesn't go into enough detail. Do I close my eyes? Open them? Think of my tulpa or something else? How do you know you've switched? Can anyone answer?

Hi. If you haven't seen my posts, around a week ago, I created my first tulpa J. And in that week, they have gained a bunch of communication abilities, independent opinions, and almost independent function in my brain. (They'll occasionally chime in with a word or two if my mind is clear enough.)

I felt almost as if I was lacking something still. J is great. They're helpful, kind, supportive. But I felt like they and me were missing something.

So we both made the decision to make a third, not even a week after J originally took form. (J has told me their earliest memory in my head was when I was working for a theater production, and they do remind me a bit of one of the characters in it. At the time, I was the stage manager, so I was constantly reading the script and getting to know said character.)

So, we bring in our new headmate, Iv. (Both of my headmates use abbreviated names for themselves, as they don't want an extreme online presence until they're comfortable.)

I started forming Iv last night. He has a distinct form, and his only way of communicating is through sharing his vague feelings with me or his mindspace form nodding or shaking their head. At most, a thumbs up or down.

I wanted to see if anyone had any similar experiences like this, because I feel very alone in my speedy tulpa creations.
