Hi, I'm K and I just realized that this is something that it's not talked about much, at least not on the subreddit and I just wanted to give my insights about it.

I sometimes see a lot of tulpas (or hosts talking about their tulpas) saying that they fronted, did this particular thing they like and then they switch back. And yes, I get how nice that is, but I don't see how doing just that helps.

To give a clear example, I enjoy calligraphy. I'm not good at it yet, and if I fronted, practiced and that's all sure, I would get better at it but it would be just that, as a person, I won't get any other benefit.

What I mean with that is that tulpas need to experience life, from small to big things.

We already talked a bit about how tulpas learn to enjoy new things (hobbies) by experiencing life, but just want to talk more about it.
I read on this subreddit sometimes about tulpas not having the will to do stuff, being bored, just liking a few things, etc. But think about this. Hosts have had all their life to become who they are today. Tulpas have had a considerable amount of less time lived. It will take time for them to discover what they like. Some things may be similar to the ost or predictable, ut some others not, and tulpas will learn that through experiencing stuff by themselves.

Also, there's the mundane stuff. I think that this will work better with an example:
I spent most of my time on front on a chair (and I'm not proud of this) as a result, I hold the back of the body different from my host, but once I stand up, I walk like her and I manage the weight of the body as she does, and it's annoying, but I have very little experience walking and standing and muscle memory and costumes are a thing, it's going to happen.
That's why little things make a difference and make you feel more like you are you, and you are becoming more and more complex.

Simple things can make a difference.

Just a while ago I noticed that I put on shirts like her, which is... not very elegantly, honestly. but I changed shirts like two times that I can remember.

That's why I want to recommend that, when you switch, do stuff. Not just what you like or what it makes you feel like you, but everything. From picking something from the floor to gong on a walk and maybe visiting random shops (whenever it's safe to do those things.

​

I hope this helps someone.
