"Hey Starlit! What's your opinion on origin syscourse?"

Oh sorry, I was reading an article on how black and brown felons were scored more harshly on their predicted re-offense rate compared to their white counterparts with similar crimes by an AI tool, thus them receiving harsher sentences by human judges upon seeing the scores. What were we talking about again?
The more resistant someone is the to very notion of fragmentation the more we suspect they're a system. Because duh????? Should be obvious why.
"Each alter can't be a real entity" singlets aren't even "real" bro
"get a job" "unemployed behaviour" okay but like. girl your ableism
also having a job doesnt make you a better person and employment is not inherently good

I will never know what being a singlet is like and I believe selfhood in the traditional sense is a falsehood to begin with but ANYWAY
on the bright side if i say "cops should kill themselves" literally EVERYONE in the system agrees (and it's pretty big) and THAT'S systempunk not whatever whiny flame war shit half of you do every day
Tumblr is a source of great suffering for many of you :(
Not me tho I'm having fun 🔥
i don't believe in singlets. The concept is just ridiculous to me i am not kidding.
Can we stop with the "DID ruins your life" narrative. It's the way people treat those with DID that ruins lives. This is FIXABLE it's not some universal law.
Abuse and trauma are hard to live with and overcome but not impossible. I know it's hard but jfc you people are professionals at making yourselves and everyone around you even more miserable tbh. Go outside.
this just in: local tumblr user mad that people are suffering because of a debilitating disorder.
"Piss on the poor" website strikes again. Shouldn't you learn to read by now?
local man angry because people disagree with a stupid take
Who said I was angry lol u seem angry tho
the fact that you're 22 and acting like this is frankly amazing.
anyway, to give a genuine response: just because your experience with DID has not been detrimental doesn't mean that applies to everyone. of course society at large treats all mentally ill people awfully, but what you don't seem to understand is that the symptoms of DID can genuinely be detrimental to most peoples' ability to function.
obviously people can learn coping skills and symptoms will lessen in severity through therapy, but it takes a long time to work through trauma and practice those skills. the distress caused by having DID is immense for many.
please consider getting a job or something.
Cute assumptions. Telling me to get a job and writing all this dumb shit is wild.
local man angry about being wrong, calls exactly what he said in his post "assumptions."

do not post your triggers, cues, programs, any of that shit on tumblr dot com. point blank period. do not just hand that info to people who may want to hurt you.
i am not saying this to fearmonger. don't put that shit on a public blog.
We all have wildly differing opinions on the system community but let's just say that the rampant eurocentric/americacentric attitudes and drastic underestimation of the failures+limits of western psychology aren't fucking cute.
"Seasoned syscourser" have you considered doing something helpful/productive/creative/smarter with your time
all about introjects!
INTRODUCTION & DISCLAIMER: This post has been on the back burner for months, but was inspired by recent incorrect information spreading regarding introjects (i.e. 9/10 introjects are factives of abusers) This will be a long post so strap in! Each subtopic will be divided into sections for easy viewing.
Section 1: Clarification On What "Introjects" Are.
When I talk about introjects I am talking about 3 specific types of introjects:
Standard Introjects These are the most common type of introject. Most fictive/factives fit into this category as a Standard Introject simply introject few or many personality traits/quirks from something pre-existing.
Concept Introjects These are introjects that are founded on a concept. For us they usually happen when gaining an introject that we are unfamiliar of the source - so the traits that are introjected are assumptions we made.
Grounded Introjects These are introjects that aren't really introjects at all. They have their own unique personality traits and qualities but have their identity tied to a pre-existing character in order to be grounded to reality.
There are some gray areas and some parts that will not fit into these categories, and that's okay. There are some parts who will present as a Standard Introject but refuse to identify with the label of "Introjects". It's important to remember that if a part wants to identify as an introject that decision is ultimately up to them and them only.
Section 2: Introject Rarity/Prevalence Outside DID
Introjects aren't rare. Many people like to act like introjects are a super rare phenomenon and therefore all introject heavy systems must be lying or faking - but that's not the case. Simply put? Introjects are drawing their identity from a pre-existing source.
It's not limited to DID either! Sometimes people want to base their identity off a character they like (have you ever seen the people who spend thousands on surgeries to look like a celebrity?) and there's nothing wrong with that. Other disorders that present with identity issues also have introjection such as autism and BPD. It's just not that much of a big deal! It can happen and there's nothing wrong with it when it happens.
If you're interested in learning more: here's a Wikipedia article about (non DID specific) introjection!
Section 3: Types of Introject Sources
When looking at the discussion of introjects online there are two types of statements I see often - "Most introjects are of abusers" & "Most introjects should be from childhood/of childhood media"
I've extensively looked online and I cannot find any verifiable statistics regarding the prevalence of the types of introject sources, so I'm going to go off a purely anecdotal and logical lens.
For us personally? Of all our introjects approximately 5% are of past abusers. It's important to note that even if you know a system you will not know whether they have introjects of abusers! Most of our parts who are introjects from abusers feel incredibly ashamed by it and have distanced themselves from their source. It's very difficult for them to have their identity tied to such horrible people and it's a secret they prefer to keep. I don't really understand that view that the most common introject are of abusers, there may be a need to introject for protection/dealing with trauma but abusers are not going to have "admirable traits" and at a certain point there isn't going to be a need for the brain to introject more of them.
Childhood introjects! Now this is something I like to talk about! Oddly enough, many of our introjects from childhood have showed up later in our recovery process as they held trauma we were not able to handle at the start of our recovery. It makes sense logically that if you are heavily prone to introjection in adulthood, you probably were heavily prone to introjection in childhood and visa versa! And that's the part that most people don't understand, they will argue that most introjects should be from childhood and neglect the fact that it makes sense logically that someone who had many introjects as a child will also have many introjects as an adult.
Section 4: Hyperfixations & Introjects
This is one of the possibly most misunderstood part of introjects. You cannot have introjects from a hyperfixation ALONE - due to the fact that all splits are going to be negatively induced. But if you are experiencing stress and trauma while you have a hyperfixation? Of course it's possible.
Let me break it down for you and explain how a hyperfixation takes over your brain. You find this new thing (show, game, etc) and it's something you really enjoy. So for the next two weeks every waking moment you spend interacting with the hyperfixation. You go to sleep thinking about your hyperfixation, you wake up excited to interact with your hyperfixation. You disengage completely with the outside world and escape into this hyperfixation. It controls every aspect of your life and you just have to comply with the hyperfixation in order to get your happy brain chemicals.
So... Why is it such a strange concept to gain an introject during that time? It's in your brain 24/7 for an extended period of time, why would it be odd for the hyperfixation to influence your split?
Thank you for reading if you made it this far!!! I've been meaning to make this post for SOO long!! I hope you learnt something and if you didn't, I hope my words resonated with you! 🩷
Hate doing shit like this but please do not take this post at face value, save yourself some time and block this rando. It's not "100,000x more likely" to be a brain tumor if you think you experience dissociative symptoms.
Please do not obsessively spiral over their unfounded claim. Talk to doctors honestly when you are able and determine what course of action is right for you.
Again hate doing shit like this but blocking me got rid of the critical thinking I replied with so.
Below is a record of my responses and the OP's non-answers, just so they can't hide their lack of evidence.
JESUS CHRIST??? how can anyone think posting shit like this is okay.
It's deeply sad to me because imagine being wrong that confidently about something so potentially damaging
