no thought you have is going to inherently change your morality, identity, safety, or whatever else. and while that is true, i know how hard that can be to believe in practice. your efforts at trying is something to be proud of, even if you don't succeed at believing it.

there are some relationships headmates can have with each other that can only exist in the context that they do by occurring in the same headspace. this is a normal way for some relationships to be. your relationship does not have to have a comparison to a relationship singlets can have in order for your relationship to be genuine and authentic. some relationships exist how they do because of their plural context, and that's wonderful.

Did you know you're allowed to imagine your ocs comforting you about something you struggle with or supporting you in some way? Yep it's all allowed. They can be out of character and unrealistic too if you want. Totally allowed and legal. Nobody has to even know. In case you feel like you need permission here you are ☝️ I grant you full permission. But you shouldn't need it. Just a kind reminder is all

Systems with mostly or all fictives are real.

Systems with no fictives are real.

Systems with mostly or all factives are real.

Systems with no factives are real.

This applies also to fucktives, fogtives, fuzztives, extranths and whatever else! Systems don’t need to have a specific number of any type of headmate.

there is no disorder out there that makes you automatically a bad person, absolutely none. you will always have autonomy over your decisions even when said disorder impacts your thinking and logic. you are never doomed to be a cruel person who causes harm, you do have autonomy and agency over your destiny. no mental disorder will ever change that.

[positivitygenic]

please do not put things off just because you're waiting for the "right time" to start treating yourself well. the feeling of it being the "right time" tends to never come for anyone, and it is most certainly not a necessity to treat yourself with the dignity and kindness that you have always deserved. the time will never feel right, might as well start working on being kind and compassionate now.

Friendly reminder that you can talk to your brain like a beloved innocent little kid and it works probably better than you’d expect

“Wow this is pretty rough huh…let’s think of some good things instead! What are some things we’re looking forward to?”

“I have an idea, lets pretend we’re in slow-motion, even our breathing and blinking is slooowwww”

“Quick I need your help it’s really super important! Tell me every single [color/animal/etc] you can possibly think of”

“Hey buddy, do you maybe want your favorite snack? I bet you’re pretty tired huh…how about we have a little nap/go to bed early tonight”

Doesn’t always have to be for handling negative stuff either in fact doing it in neutral-positive situations will help you remember it’s even an option in times of distress. And in general it’s just very healing, promotes self-worth, etc.

it is just a natural and normal fact of life that some people are happier plural than they would be as a singlet, and vice versa. there is no superior way of being across the board, it all depends. and that is just a really neat fact about how life is!

you don't have to prove yourself, i promise. let them be wrong about you, especially internet strangers. you don't have to prove yourself, it's okay to relax and protect your peace.

[positivitygenic]

there is a wide and natural range of the various ways fictives can be, and one of those ways is a fictive not being like their source. it can be hard, understandably so, to figure out who you are when you can't rely on your source to be able to act as a baseline for you. your frustration and other negative feelings are immensely valid, and you are not alone.

Shoutout to the syskids who do grown up things sometimes!

The syskids who like having mature conversations

The syskids who do drugs

The syskids who swear

The syskids who look at adult content

The syskids who like horror

The syskids who get ignored in conversations about plurality

The syskids who just don't always act their age, or maybe never act their age at all

The syskids who are like me!

no thoughts of any kind make you a bad person. this includes intrusive thoughts and impulsive thoughts. your thoughts don't decide the morality of your being. everything is gonna be okay.

[positivitygenic]

anger is a neutral emotion. anger is inherently a neutral thing to feel. you are not doomed to hurt people because you feel angry, even when it does make you feel impulsive. anger is perfectly okay to feel, and there are numerous ways to safely express it. it is not an awful secret to be hidden, it is a normal and regular emotion that anyone can feel for numerous understandable reasons.
