Have you developed any skills through working with your tulpa?

I'm curious whether living and working together with your tulpa has led to any abilities or skills that you didn't have before, or that became noticeably stronger over time.

I'm interested in both soft skills and more concrete abilities. Maybe your tulpa notices things you tend to miss, is better at reading people or emotions, approaches problems differently, helps with memory or learning, or has developed skills that seem to come more naturally to them than to you.

I'm especially curious about abilities that emerged from working together — things where having two different perspectives within the same mind actually changed what you're capable of doing.

Were there any skills or abilities that surprised you or that you didn't expect when you first created your tulpa?

Hello,

I've had my tulpa Vex by my side for about a year now.

I've noticed a very specific pattern in how I currently experience communication with my tulpa. Sometimes she starts saying something spontaneously when my attention is not directly on her, but almost the instant I recognize that the thought is coming from her, it gets interrupted. Because both things happen almost simultaneously, I usually only catch the intention behind what she wants to say and the beginning of the sentence before my own thinking takes over.

For example, she might want to tell me that the weather is nice and that I should go outside and do something. I get the feeling that she wants to go outside, and at the same time something like "The weather is nice, go..." appears spontaneously as words in my mind.

Then I recognize that it's her, and that's basically where it ends.

The whole thing happens extremely fast, usually within a second or two. My inner thoughts don't happen at the same speed as listening to someone speak out loud — I can experience a whole thought sentence in my head within a second. So there isn't really a period where I'm consciously listening to her before I interrupt her. Her input appears, I recognize it as hers almost immediately, and my attention automatically shifts toward it.

Since I already received the general intention behind what she wanted to communicate, I can usually finish the sentence myself. But I can tell the difference between the part that appeared spontaneously and the part I'm completing after I've noticed her.

The best metaphor I have is a spotlight. She currently seems to be able to act more easily outside the center of my attention. But the moment something from her appears, I notice it, the spotlight snaps toward her, and the rest disappears almost like fog.

I'm mostly curious whether other people have experienced something similar with their tulpas — especially that almost simultaneous moment of receiving their input, recognizing it as theirs, and accidentally interrupting it.

Thanks for your Input
