System just trying to find its place in the world.

[gentlewindchimes]

"im probably faking being a system" mfs after their name and gender/identity continues being unstable no matter how much they ignore it (im mfs)

systems get an interest without a fictive challenge impossible (we started watching bna and got michiru in the first day someone help)

[pluralrose]

It feels strange having an complete lack of ficatives in my system. The closest we have is a few mythology inspired members who take a few queues from fictional versions of the myths.

baseball interviewers will ask "how do you throw the ball so good" and Mariners players will casually drop that they have a headmate who plays the game for them

saw a genuinely mega dumbass take so here's a reminder

if you are a traumagenic system/CDD system that supports endos, I love you, you are so appreciated and needed in this community just as much as endos, please NEVER let anti endos tell you that you arent a valid system or that you're harming system communities by loving your plural and system siblings. You are so important and loved here and you are so needed just as much as every other person. Y'all are so strong for dealing with the bullshit thrown at you so often and i feel nobody recognizes it as much as it should be recognized

[esthermika]

plushie is soft... and very small. you have to hold it carefully okay?

[esthermika]

fragile little plushie... it cries very easily. you have to love it carefully okay?

[esthermika]

plushie is trusting... and very innocent. you have to keep it safe okay?

we've been trying to find new terms to replace the ones we dont really feel suit us and we're finding it difficult to say the least

system and plural are fine, all the switching/splitting terminology works alright, fictives/factives sure, but alters/parts/others/members doesnt feel-

individual enough?

we don't feel like parts of the same person, we started out as emotional states and social masks that developed separate from each other because of our trauma, but we're all our own people at this point and calling ourselves alter(nate states of self), part, other, or member just don't feel like it properly acknowledges the amount of individually we have/want

headmates is- fine sure okay- but it doesnt exactly work when you want to say something along the lines of "other (headmates) in the system" its kind of exclusively for "my headmates" and doesn't grammatically fit any other way and we don't care for the possessive feeling of "'my' headmates" as it is

the hosts and a couple others have been using "other folks" but also wants a word they can use without having to specify "in the system" which makes this a little tricky

if anyone has any suggestions please by all means

[pluralrose]

We use the term siblings in our system, although that may not work for every system.

We personally feel like we are a part of a family but still independent and the terms work.

I hope this helps

Every time an egg realises they are plural an angel grows its wings. Or multiple angels

My angelgirl headmate got very happy at this post.

“Why do you still need a stuffed animal to sleep” sometimes in the middle of the night I wake up and I’ve turned 9 years old and I am confused and in need of comfort from someone or something that won’t ridicule me when I ask for help thank yewww

[berrysblush]

sometimes I wish I had another me to talk to

If you're a singlet (someone who is not plural), I can guarantee you that you know at least one system offline. Probably, you know multiple systems.

Any of your friends or family members could be part of a system. Any of your classmates or coworkers could, too. Even your partner could be a system.

Plural systems usually do not announce our plurality. Because of the massive stigma around plurality, we try to pass as singlets. My system does this every day. My headmates have friends they've known for a decade who don't know we're plural.

It's said that dissociative disorders are very rare, but they're not. Trauma can and does happen to anyone. And many systems don't have dissociative disorders at all.

Systems are all around you. It's time to start treating us with the same respect you'd give anyone else.

you ever realize how able bodied people just are not expected to do things that cause them excruciating physical pain? like they’re just. not

if i shouldn’t use my cane because i can sometimes technically walk without it, it would just hurt like a motherfucker then abled people should no longer be allowed to use potholders to take things out of the oven because i mean

well they could technically pick up a hot pan with their bare hands. it would just hurt like a motherfucker

[crpl-pnk]

*sees an abled person using potholders*

i just think it’s really sad that you’re giving up on yourself like that

[crpl-pnk]

if you use potholders how will you ever build up the calluses necessary to pick up scalding hot metal without burning yourself so severely? it’s like you’re not even trying to get better

[darklingdawns]

I mean, my mother uses potholders, but she’s in her 70s. You’re just… too YOUNG to be resorting to potholders at your age.

[kipplekipple]

If you start using potholders, your inability to hold hot metal will only get worse.

[planouteverythingitwentwrong-de]

As a professional cook I was, and still am, able to pick most stuff up out of an oven without a pot holder. I might get blisters and maybe it will hurt, but usually it won’t

[crpl-pnk]

AMAZING! based on this one specific individual’s experiences i will now safely assume that it’s possible for anyone to overcome hand pain & leave potholders behind for good!!! as long as you want it bad enough, anything is possible!! make this story go viral so that all those self pitying losers who still use potholders know that there’s no excuse

Yes, your friend will "change" if they come out as a system to you. They seem like they're changing because they're trying to unmask around you and let their alters be themselves and not hide amnesia and other aspects of the disorder as much.

I understand it can be hard to realize your friend isn't exactly how you thought they were, but they're still you're friend. It's likely you've met their other alters, they just didn't say who they were.

Please support you friend, even if it's seemed like they've changed.

guy(s) who doesn't know he's plural yet:

yeah i just rlly like stories where someone has another person/personality inside that's a manifestation of their anger and stress. I just relate to it a lot. for no reason. I also like headcanoning characters as systems. for no reason.
