having a real bad time so I got really really high and now im listening to the magnus archives. how could this possibly go wrong.

[syscultureis]

System culture is "who tf unblocked them? WHO???"

.

[traumaholdercultureis]

traumaholder culture is romanticizing what happened to you because if you feel how awful it was for one second you will break down and also think you're a traitor to your abuser

This girl that just split has like. Really bad amnesia and has a really hard time understanding system stuff because of it and it’s made things really weird but mostly it’s just her bitching about the body being transmasc and thinking she’s asleep when she’s switched out. We haven’t had some shit like this in a while LOL it feels like back when we were discovering our system for the first time. It’s been fucking up the rest of the system’s communication for some reason too, something about her fronting all the time is making the whole system unstable. She’s been a super great addition to the system but like damn.

(i am not a system i just think it is)

[official-boob-posts]

I’ve literally never heard this hello?

Also are horses predators in Christianity??

[sys-protector-culture]

Protector culture is why yes, I am indeed God, I don't see him anywhere around to do anything and I've had to make my own salvation from this continued nightmare so as far as I'm concerned, I'm the only God that is relevant.

what are some issues with the system community that could give people insecurities about their own system?

I think a lot of it is about the competitive nature of the system communities. There's constant one upping (which I've even experienced in real life with an ex friend). I do think it mostly comes down to these topics though:

System Size

There's a lot of "I don't know how large systems can even cope with that many members" and other bullshit which just shows how little people actually understand how large systems function.

For us this has caused insecurity about having too many members, which increases our baseline stress and so we end up with more members. Vicious cycle.

System Functionality

Whether it's reliance on alters, having unaccessible places in innerworld, being completely non functional except for certain alters, a lot of people aren't at all recovered so their system isn't functioning well.

Trauma Olympics

Organised abuse, programming, constantly having to reply to posts joking about trauma the poster has gone through with their "far worse and horrific trauma."

Symptom Olympics

Or, imo worse, having these huge long lists of complex disorders and they're all suspected. You won't get diagnosed (at least in the UK) with both PTSD and CPTSD, because there's so much overlap that there's very little difference in treatment. I also have an issue with people listing every disorder they have (or suspect they have) publically but that's mostly an internet safety thing.

There's a constant competition between who has worse amnesia, who has worse coping mechanisms, whose trauma is so "bad" that it makes them catatonic. Nobody cares, and I think you need to get into a place where you can actually work on this.

It's not a flex to be being actively abused.

[syscultureis]

Sys culture is a crowded front doesn't always mean "there are several people fighting for control over the body"

But sometimes it's just "somehow I am at least 7 different people right now all at the same time"

[germanpony]

inside out is the most popular good DID representation and i wont take objections

[your-mighty-words-astound-me]

So we definitely need more positive representation of DID, but you know what would be funny? Mildly inconvenient representation of DID.

Oh the world is ending and you need to know about this one specific thing? Yeah I have a guy for that but he doesn't feel like fronting right now

Sorry what's happening rn is this the bad guy? Yeah I just switched in idk what's going on

I know you're dating one alter but we're currently co-con with another alter who hates you so idk how I'm feeling rn

And just who do i think I am? It's funny you should ask that I actually don't know right now

[thestarseersystem]

Wait I just remembered this. here u go :3

honourable mention

[thatgothvampire]

Shoutout to syskids who behave like adults, who are protectors and caretakers and traumaholders, who are hypersexual or sexual protectors, who are angry and violent. I see you and hear you.

[qtallulah]

having “syskids and littles are not allowed to talk in this server / are ONLY allowed to talk in the littles-only chat where they can’t swear or engage in any topic more adult than my little pony” as your server rules is weird as hell!

you dont say “traumaholders aren’t allowed” or “persecutors aren’t allowed.” its *only* ever with littles!

i am SO tired of constantly having to defend my existence to random people on the internet. i, for example, am *the host* of my system. i front 80% of the time. are you saying im not allowed to talk in your server 80% of the time?

its ableism, imo! i am tired of being infantilized every time i bring up my age as an alter!! i will simply lie to you!

[pandora-collective]

I’m taking the new split well.
