Your "Tulpa" is (you). You are the Tulpa, you and the Tulpa are the same voice the same thoughts the same being. You only feel the Tulpa is a different person from you because you went into a really strong and really foggy dissociative maladaptive daydream to escape something brutally traumatic. And in that daydream you dreamt of a loving or caring or supportive or intriguing character to distract you from pain. Then what happened is you kept doing this, revisiting the same daydream over and over and over until eventually you spent more time in a mental state of your own imagination than being present and focused on reality. This not only made the radiation from the trauma last longer it also condemned you to loneliness since you couldn't connect with people in reality since you were in imaginary lalaland in your own thoughts. And this accidental self-imposed loneliness made this imaginary figure of yours more and more of a crutch, more of a need for you to 'connect' with. Until eventually, you forgot all about how reality works and adopted the foggy ruleset of your own imagination. Your grasp of reality slipped and you've been thinking your own thoughts that you yourself conjure is somehow from a 'Tulpa' this entire time.
