I definitely agree. I witnissed someone who had been tulpaforcing for, geez, 8 months or maybe more, a huge regular on the general as well as the rest of the community--and one day they had a breakdown of doubt and completely wiped their tulpa from their mind and blocked them from speaking to them, because suddenly the host had nothing to stand on, no reason to believe anymore, it all crumbled.
It took, I think two days or so, before the host was willing to go back to the headspace/wonderland and see if they could contact their tulpa, where he got the talking to of a lifetime from her. It still took time after that for him to recover, but he learned he had to face his doubts and acknowledge them rather than hide from them so they would build. When he was able to acknowledge his concerns, he was able to talk about them, and find his own reasons for believing in her existence and reasons for treating her as sentience beyond just pretending not to doubt.
I think there has to be balance and, uh, well things have to be within reason. If Kate believed every random ass crazy thought that came from her head was from me, who knows how my personality might have formed honestly. Legitimate responses yes, even if you aren't sure I think you should accept the likelihood of it being your tulpa, but I see people say they saw a face of a clown killing babies or whatever and talk of intrusive thoughts like they are their tulpas trying to send them some cryptic message or scare them or what freakin ever.
Anyway yea, good ideas. Agreed.
