Oren: Why do you have to make every guy I'm attracted to into your father-figure?

Prim: Why do you have to be attracted to guys who would be good as dads, huh???

Well shit now we got another host-host up in here who blends so much with me that half the time the only way we can tell which of the two of us is actually fronting is by looking into headspace and seeing if we can actually see the others or not

Because apparently this new guy just can't properly see headspace for whatever reason

[departureresidents]

Also he's kinda taken over because this is "his" body now so uh I guess I'm slowly becoming the not-main host anymore

Not complaining too much though because shit man all I wanna do is stream and stuff, if you wanna be the one to go out and socialize and do our job then by all means go ahead

REBLOG IF YOU LOVE YOUR HEADMATES!!!!

I think a big part of the reason that I went from anti-endo to endo-safe was absolutely due to how starkly different the communities felt.

Anti-endo communities were hard to engage with. Sure, some of them would focus on their support for each other more than their hatred of endogenic systems. And that's great! However, when you are brought together by your dislike of a certain group, you can't help but feel the hate permiate into so much of it. It always happened eventually. Anti-endo communities had such a focus on systems who were "fake" that I couldn't help but worry I was one of them, no matter how much they told me it was "just endos" they were concerned about.

The endo community (at least the parts I've engaged with and were easy to find) were so kind and respected me as a system, no matter how I felt or my plurality presented. Simply knowing we could find joy in our plurality allowed us to strive for so much more than we had thought possible before.

As a traumagenic system, we've improved so much with our symptoms and communication as a result of the positivity and acceptance we recieved. When we joined communities where we could be authenticallly ourselves (no matter what), we came together and faced so much less conflict between each other. And the conficts we did have, we realized that we could solve them together rather than alone.

When you are constantly doubting if you are "actually a system", you start to push the others away, and that made our dissociation and amnesia so much worse. I understand being careful of self-misdiangnosis, it can put you on the wrong path for how you learn to manage your symptoms. At the same time, the sentiment I often heard from endogenic systems when I was struggling with doubt and denial was very simple: "So what if you're not a system?" In short, it was okay to be wrong.

And that was huge for me. I realized that, no matter if I was a system or not, the techniques I used to improve ourselves and communicate with one another beneficial to me. At the end of the day, even if I wasn't a system after all, the skills I had found we invaluble to my health and well-being. So when I fall into denial spirals, no matter what I think about myself, I now know that I don't need to deprive myself of what has helped me, even if it is a "system thing." I don't feel scared to use these skills anymore (even in denial spirals), beacuse the line between what systems and non-systems or singlets can/can't do suddenly wasn't a big deal or a battle of "who can do what."

Our plurality is no longer a burden or a scar to us. It is simply who we are. We've learned so much about each other and ourselves since we've been accepted in full, and since we've learned to accept others. Endogenic communities have helped us (a traumagenic system) probably more than they'll ever know, and we're forever grateful for that.

So thank you, endogenic systems.

[proendovents]

I'm of the belief that systems function as uniquely as the inviduals within a system that in turn run their unique bodies and minds and emotions. And I don't get how some people think that every brain functions in as clear-cut a way as the words they read in textbooks, rather than seeing how bodies and minds and systems can be (and are) so diverse that we are entire universes within ourselves.

We may share experiences. But we are not all the same.

We may function similarly by the book. But books cannot define an experience.

We may have multiple in one body. But we do not all have the same people.

Every system is unique. Every system functions uniquely. There is no way to describe in concrete and precise enough words how a brain should function. And we should all celebrate that diversity.

Absolutely!

[angels-wantme-dead]

You don't need to know why you're a system. You don't need to know your origin. You're still worthy of acceptance without knowing

H (host, returning to front, didn't realize they went to headspace): YOU! Why are you fronting??

J: Well, *somebody* has to!

Well the host before me has finally come around and it is an. Interesting experience.

They simultaneously remember more and also about as much as I do from when they were the main host. The paradox of memory.

[psychotic-system-culture-is]

schizospec system culture is having a headmate who helps in grounding the host by just verbally tearing into their delusions and being so here for it

Why do you still use the emotion names if you all list your actual names?

[Oren]

Hi! We try and tag our stuff as our "emotion" names because it's a lot easier to go back and find in case someone wants to change their name later on!

We also have a headmate or two who can't stick with a single name (namefluid, indecisive, can't find a name that 'fits', the name we call them is a placeholder, etc.) so it just simplifies things for if we want to show a certain person later, or said person wants to go back through their tagged posts!

Thanks for asking!
