Headmates are basically multiple personalities within your head that one interacts with. It's supposed to be created by thinking really hard on it but apparently Tumblr gives it a bad name.
In the case of Tulpa (a type of headmate), it's essentially another conscience within your head. They are supposed to be able to keep you company, offer different opinions, help you remember stuff and, well, basically it is an imaginary friend.
Then there are Servitors (another type) what someone creates to fill a purpose It can serve as an alarm clock, memory enhancement, automated typing (don't ask me how it works), etc. provided that the "host" know how to do it. I consider it being thinking really hard and many times on something until it becomes automatic, much like muscle memory.
There are also Daemons but I don't know how those work, look it up if ya will.
It's because forcing yourself to have multiple personalities in your head is pretty much it.
Tulpas work for those that need a little company Tibetans had Tulpas as well. That's where the name comes from. .
Servitors are a lil' more practical because they are actually useful in a sense but it's still forcing an "entity" into your mind.
As I said, i don't know what a Daemon is but it revolves around the same topic.
I've read a lot on this. It's pretty interesting IMO but Tumblr is taking it away from what it is. I mean, it's already a pretty strange concept considering some Tulpae or Servitors can be told/made to control your body but that site makes it sound even worse. How? Well, that's Tumblr, for y'all.
"In multitasking computer operating systems, a daemon (/ˈdiːmən/ or /ˈdeɪmən/) is a computer program that runs as a background process, rather than being under the direct control of an interactive user."
According to the "Tulpas" subreddit:
"A daemon: Is also described as a mental construct/ imaginary friend 2.O but a daemon is based off the His dark materials series and is supposed to represent your soul, outside your body. they talk and have their own personality though. They take an animal form that represents you as a person."
Still just imaginary friends and Multiple Personality Disorder.
Although this is the first time I hear about this, I do something similar for a better thought process. Basically, it is thoughts given personas.
One example is having different opinions, giving them personas, and letting them debate on a certain subject. It is amazing how thoughts are processed without the delay of you "hearing" your own thoughts. Every point is quickly countered with a with a different point by another opinion (I'll call opinions personas). The ultimate rule of the debate is there's no "we"; the personas are me, and any pronoun should be with "I" or "me".
Another example is imaging having a debate with someone I know, to prepare for a later debate that will actually happen. Then again, this is a tricj almost any one would instinctively do. Expanding on that, instead of thinking what would X do, I would see them doing/saying what they'd do.
One last example is to monitor and be aware of my thought process. There's nice persona, angry persona, mannered persona, vulgar persona, etc... In any given situations, most, if not all, personas give their point simultaneously. In a situation where I'm aggravated, I can identify what angry me would be saying, and what would calm me be saying. Since I'm already on an edge, I follow what calm says. In a situation where I'm over-empathetic, the angry persona gives motivation, so I follow it.
tl;dr I have a similar mind trick that makes the thought process more dynamic. It's not a different person or people, it is me visualizing the situations from different angles.
It was really calming and chill that your disagreement didn't lead to name calling and yelling, even though thats where I thought it was going to go. Thanks for destressing me quite a bit.
Yeah, they're self diagnosed with every disorder and illness under the sun and use that as oppression points and/or use it in lieu of having an actual personality, dood.
Unless you meant "that's not really schizophrenia," but they do still say they have "headmates" and that they're self diagnosed with schizophrenia specifically so it's safe to assume headmates is an umbrella term for any multiple personality disorders or anything where someone might hear voices in their heads and stuff like that.
If I say I'm a millionaire, that doesn't make me one. They're trying to protect themselves from their inability to function in what was once a normal society.
Got a little question on that matter.
I almost constantly argue with myself in my head. I sometimes even realize **** in these arguments.
Is that normal, or do I have a disorder of some sort?
Depends. Is it you talking to something that feels like a different entity? Is it giving you orders? Is it calling you names or whatever? If not, you're most likely sane and just have a very active thought process.
Some would, yes, but it's used primarily for those "self diagnosed" with Dissociative Identity Disorder (a disorder so rare it's debated whether or not it even exists) and/or schizophrenia, dood.
So ************ pretending to have serious illnesses.
I just want all the stupid ***** on tumblr to stop all their stupid **** , dood. If there was a way to make them all collectively fast forward a few years and look back on what they're doing, I would find a way to do it, because as it stands, as they grow out of what they're doing, they're going to talk down to people still doing it and those people are going to go even more extreme to combat people "oppressing" them.
I think as soon as they leave the educational system at whatever age they do that, then they'll start to see that they can't keep up the weird **** they do because surprise surprise, nothing is free.
Autism is a spectre and not a single diagnosis. You have mild autism like Aspergers and you have more severe types. You can see famous normally functioning people with proposed autism (it is damn hard to diagnose someone) like Bill Gates, Jamie Hyneman and Adam Young. They even believe that Lincoln had it.
I agree, and dont forget that albert einstein is believed to have it, unless it has been proven diferently
Aspie here, but im not full blown hurdur...not yet anyways. But as an aspie i award you with the aspie award, for defending aspies everywhere.
I act a bit immature sometimes but i have a good job and support myself.
They took the wrong angle of, "Don't care what others think of you" and "You're special" and ran with it. The worst of them tend to have parents who gave them laurels to rest upon, giving them little to no expectations of behaviour, personal fortitude or discipline.
They are children in all but body and the law should not recognise such immature, irresponsible, selfish children as adults, simply for surviving to physical maturity. Physical survival is no longer a feat.
As far as I can tell, it's an attempt at normalizing schizophrenia or split-personality disorder. One of the two. Basically retarded deep-Tumblr **** .
Sciencedaily definition of Peter Pan Syndrome: "The 'Peter Pan Syndrome' affects people who do not want or feel unable to grow up, people with the body of an adult but the mind of a child. The syndrome is not currently considered a psychopathology. However, an increasingly larger number of adults are presenting emotionally immature behaviors in Western society." ******* perfect.
