Endos don't understand what the Anti-Endo stance actually is. It's not a denial of the existence of their alters (several of the people I've seen identifying as Endos probably are systems), it's about the claims of being "Non-Disordered" or having no trauma.
Trauma comes in many, many forms. Those especially horrible things that people think of when it comes to the idea of "traumatic enough to form a CDD" make up a very small percentage of what can traumatise a child. Something I noticed back when I was in school is that the majority of people I would meet were traumatised in some way. You could see it in their actions and hear it in their words, trauma informs so much of how a person goes about their life and they may never even notice. I'm obviously not saying everyone I met had a CDD, trauma is only a single requirement for a CDD. What I AM saying is that trauma is so much more common than you know. It doesn't matter whether or not you think it was "bad enough" or maybe you're not even aware that what you experienced was traumatic just yet, it's still trauma and it still effects you as a person and how you will live for the rest of your life.
And, that, is OKAY. It's okay to admit that you were traumatised. More people understand than you might think, especially those growing up today with the horrible state of the world right now.
It's also okay to not be ready to face that just yet. Maybe you're not in the position to look back on your past with a critical lens. If you believe you're experiencing CDD symptoms without trauma, you may not be in a safe place for your brain to start processing your trauma just yet. Maybe you're still a child, maybe you still live at home, maybe you're still around certain people who might not be as great as you think.
It's okay to be in that position, but I don't think you're ready to come online and talk about being "Endogenic". I'm definitely not saying your alters need to pack their bags and go back into hiding, but I am saying you might want to give yourself(yourselves) some time to just live as you are without some internet idea of systemhood shaping your experiences.
If it was up to me, we wouldn't have these "-genic" labels in the first place. We would all just be able to call ourselves systems and acknowledge that that comes with trauma, but that trauma does not define systemhood.

Flag color meanings in alt text !
These terms are exclusive to those with dissociative disorders, or those with disorders that have dissociation as a symptom (schizospec, bpd, ptsd, etc.). These identities could be due to being a fragment/alter in a dissociative system, a temporary identity assumed during a dissociative episode, or a fluid or solid identity in those with chronic dissociation(until said dissociation is levitated).
DNI endogenic/ntg, transDID/transplural, radqueer, or similar identities.
general question, but can internal stress cause splits? I know stress stemming from external factors usually is the cause of splits, but can things like anxiety attacks and other internal stressors do the same?
just asking because one of us had a breakdown over actually nothing a day or two ago and I think we have more fragments now. though that seems to be a common trend with us. love having a low split tolerance (she says lyingly)
temporary pinned post
I will update this bit by bit.
