system relationships become awkward when you are a split of a split of a pre-existing alter that has a pre-existing relationship. you retain a feeling of closeness, despite being complete strangers who have never met.

would like to talk more openly about system stuff with people we trust irl. it's a bit stifling to want to joke about system shenanigans but no one knows. we don't trust anyone. not anymore.

the human nature to share and bond over things gets overruled by fear of being seen as lesser, for being mentally disabled "in the bad way."
