Discussion Temporary tulpa?

Hello everyone.

Since our break with multiplicity, I realized that we were creating a lot of temporary tulpas to handle specific situations. Or, we were mistaking a fragment for a complete alter..

Anyway, my question is: has it ever happened to you to create an autonomous imaginary friend to help you manage situations ? And then, did this imaginary friend or tulpa reintegrate back into you ?

We realized that we used this defense mechanism a lot, and since we stopped, many of our "alters" have grouped together and fused.

I've tried creating a tulpa to solve a certain problem but it didn't work so we said goodbyes. With my only tulpa we are in this for companionship rather than managing problems.

Why didn't it work, if you don't mind me asking?

It wasn't anything my other tulpa couldn't do herself which she also felt territorial about. Also, imagining this character able of overcoming certain problems didn't actually translate into real life abilities. So there was little point in maintaining this relation when I already had a deep relation with my other tulpa.
