Hi! It’s been a while since I asked you a question!

It’s ( @100100110100001 )

How are “hosts” assigned? Does the title(?) of host affect how they view themselves? Interact with others? Control the body?

I’ve been exploring more DID spaces and learning a bit more about it. I really do appreciate you answering my questions, I don’t believe I would have learned this much or gotten as far without your answers.

host is usually a title for the alter that fronts the most often. we’ve had a couple of times where our host has changed. i’d say it really depends on the alter and how they interpret the meaning of host; for me it just means that i have to take care of daily life and that i’m out here the most.

and of course! we love answering questions! feel free to ask more!

Hi! What’s a headspace and how does it work?

Also, in your description (?) it says your bodily 19, do you have alters that aren’t 19? How do you find that out?

- @100100110100001

hi sorry for such a late response!

a headspace is essentially where alters stay when they aren’t fronting. it works differently for everyone, but for us it’s almost like everyone has their own little room.

yeah we have alters that vary ages! sometimes we can find that out based on appearances and certain mannerisms they might display. for example i’m 20 but frederick is 30 (to be fair he is also a fictive and thas his source age).

FRIENDLY REMINDER.

speaking out against israel and the GENOCIDE they’ve been committing = not antisemitic

hating jewish people = antisemitic

◟͜ 𓂃⠀◞◟⠀♱⠀⠀︵ ‿ ㅤthe whole "you cant have introjects of a media that just came out" (or a character that was just introduced) is so funny bc not all introjects are from splits. fragments can latch on to things too.

How do you (and alters) ground yourselves? I’ve heard this term a few times before, but I don’t understand it.

Have you ever switched mid-conversation? Can you communicate with your alters when they’re in control? I’ve heard of a thing called “fusion” where alters and you fuse into one I think? Do you understand it? Also how can therapy help when you’re not always in control?

I understand if you can’t answer all of these! “I don’t know” is a completely valid response.

(Btw, I completely understand not being able to answer asks and stuff cause of school)

Thank you for spending the time to answer my questions, @100100110100001

my turn for the answers (if i even know LMAO)

grounding is really just keeping ourselves in reality and trying to prevent dissociating (not always effective tho). most of us like the method where you name 5 things you see, 4 things you can smell, etc

i’m not sure about switching mid conversation but we probably have.

communication varies for our system. i can almost always communicate with roux and gaius and then there’s alters i probably don’t even know about yet.

fusion is something i don’t know too much about but from what i understand, it’s clearing dissociative barriers between alters until eventually all of them are functioning as one person (this would be final fusion). splits can still happen after fusions tho

and then therapy and how it helps systems is definitely subjective and depends on what the system is trying to get out of it, i’m pretty sure therapy can help with communication between alters and more effective grounding, stuff like that

hey guys you know how eugenics literally has genes in the name

eugenics is specifically people trying to get rid of GENETIC features

being a system is not genetic

how is wishing ur not a system or wishing systems didn’t exist “eugenics”

This one is probably a heavy/personal one (it's about switching/how it works) just so you know. Sorry

How does fronting work? I've been looking at the DID tag and i understand it works very differently for everyone, from what I know so far it's switching between people.

Can you tell when it happens? Does it hurt? Is there a way to prevent it? What does it feel like when you're not in control?

Sorry for all the questions, I hope it's okay

@100100110100001

sorry for such a late response, work and school and such

fronting is the term used when an alter is experiencing the external world (for lack of better words, is in control of the body). it is very different between systems but for us, it feels like switching in and out of consciousness. i can’t tell the exact moment that i’m not fronting anymore, it’s more of “oh shit someone else was fronting” when i’m back.

it doesn’t hurt necessarily but it can be uncomfortable for some of our other alters. we can rarely prevent switching but sometimes if whoever’s fronting focuses on grounding hard enough, they’re able to kind of stay in control of the situation.

some of our alters also have specific triggers that will get them to front, both positive and negative.

cass (alter) has said before that when he’s fronting after a long time of not fronting, it feels like going from static to clarity.

and ofc the questions are okay! we’re just bad abt getting answers out quickly

Hi! What’s an endo? I googled and it said endometriosis and I’m like 99% sure that’s NOT what you guys mean when you say “endos dni”

- @100100110100001

NOO not endometriosis. i mean endo as in endogenic system, which is someone who says they’re a system without having trauma (did and osdd only form from extreme childhood trauma)

[100100110100001]

Would it be okay if I continue asking questions? I understand if you don’t want to or would like to put boundaries on the questions, please just let me know.

[cathedralsys]

questions are fine, responses may be slow

does anyone know of any (preferably spoken) stories about the experience of living with did that aren’t just social media users

need it for a project

[cathedralsys]

to clarify it has to be something that’s a little dramatic, like the story has an arc. i need it to have a full beginning middle end sort of thing going on

endo's and their supporters really like to wiggle their way into *my* space, so let me say it again...i don't even want you around if you are even slightly neutral with them.

...also, don't claim the DID/OSDD community ostracizes you because of your age, when it very clearly is how you/interact with others. re-blogging really weird, anti-help NPD stuff, when you claim you are against that stuff...weird! Weird behavior for someone who is 30.

anyway, time to do schoolwork...lol...that was a weird interaction.
