(copinglink anon) thank you!!! that seems to fit p well but is it possible to have a copinglink thats like. not voluntary? its a lil confusing but as far as i can tell what happened was it was just kind of a thing? like i never really decided it or w/ei just immediately thought that I Was Them but since i was so isolated i talked to them in my head like they were my friend but it was sorta like i was talking to myself? like i was me but i was also them at the same time it was all rly complicated

It can totally happen, anon. The mind does weird things, especially in order to protect itself. Its certainly possible that you built a copinglink identity…

I am in a predicament and need an opinion. so i’m a soulbonder and recently tried tulpamancing and I made a tulpa. Fast-foreward some and I’m trying to call out to a soulbond of mine. The soulbond and tulpa are both there and then they? fuse? or something. I’m not sure. anyways, so they become one person and the tulpa/soulbond is in a situation where they act in a way that feels like simultaneous reincarnation, being both living the life of the soulbond in their world and being in my 1/2

2/2 headspace at the same time. It’s really weird and I want to make sure this isn’t something that just happens or that has a…

Just a little bit of a correction, tulpas only sometimes fall into the category of headmates. It really depends on the tulpa. A lot of tulpamancers project their tulpas into imaginary friend like things that they can visualize following them and such. Also, quite a lot of tulpas are unable to actually switch (switch places with the host). Some can do what is called possession which is sort of an in between where the tulpa moves one part of the body such as the hands. (1/2)

But for the most part, from my own experiences along with what I have gathered from others, the majority of tulpas seem to exist in…

Not sure if you got this question yet, but have you heard of the fictional other coping mechanism? I kno peeps who were “copingkin” and after reading your posts on the subject, realized that the concept of a fictional other was a better coping mech. It’s basically like..I guess an internal RP? A fictional character you take on as a “significant other”. You KNOW it isn’t real, but when you’re lonely or depressed you kind of dwell on that idealized relationship? Hard to describe. Helped me a lot.

Anon, I have a few thoughts on this subject, so I hope you’ll pardon me if I ramble a bit. My first reaction is that…

How do you feel about the Tulpa community/phenomenon? I’m otherkin (not fictionkin) and recently became a tulpamancer as well. I think it’s all pretty cool. Some people in the Tulpa community have compared the Tulpa phenomenon to soulbonding — some ‘mancers even have tulpae of fictional characters. I’m curious about what soulbonders think of the comparison or the tulpa phenomenon in general.

I am actually quite familiar with the tulpa phenomenon, and have casually acquainted myself with the community. I’m not surprised that some compare tulpa and…
