[ID: an edited version of the "they don't know" meme. A man stands alone in the corner at a party, watching others dance and thinking to himself, "They don't know I'm fronting alone but I'm being so brave about it." / End ID]

Based on something that happened to us recently

A friendly reminder that endogenics can be incredibly varied!

There are endogenics who see their plurality as tied to their spirituality, culture, or religion.

There are endogenics who are partially traumagenic and may identify as mixed origin.

There are endogenics who have DID, OSDD, or a different dissociative disorder.

There are endogenics who have trauma unrelated to their plurality.

There are endogenics who created their headmates on purpose.

There are endogenics who were born this way, or see themselves as having been born with the capability of becoming plural without trauma.

There are endogenics who primarily use psychological/medical models to define and explain their plurality.

And perhaps most surprising to some, there are endogenics who can be more than one of the examples above at the same time!

This isn't meant as a vague post, I just wanted to make a quick reminder because I feel like some people may have misconceptions about what it means to be endogenic. To be endogenic, it just means that part or all of your system wasn't created by trauma! That's all. There can be many other components that vary from system to system, but no two systems are exactly alike.

I hope all endogenics/endogenic systems reading this have a great day!

Once again we have been foiled by the hands of "these origin labels are all so close and yet just barely miss the mark," so here's yet another micro-origin coining post based on our experiences!

Agomisgenic: an origin term where a system or sysmate formed due to extreme pain.

Meant to be more general than physiogenic (specifically about chronic pain) but more specific than stressgenic (about any form of distress), agomisgenic is an origin term for when you form due to strong pain. This pain may or may not be chronic. It is geared towards physical pain, but may be used in reference to emotional pain as well.

The name comes from the words "agony" and "misery," as one might expect. The rough draft name for it was paingenic.

Example: after a surgery, we formed a few members who were agomisgenic. Darrell in particular helped us follow our recovery plan.

Vantgenic: an origin term where a system or sysmate formed due to non-romantic yearning.

Meant to be an alternative to "amourgenic," which was coined with romantic yearning in mind, as well as "attragenic," which is about attraction instead of yearning. The yearning in question can be any form of non-romantic yearning, eg. platonic, alterous, or familial.

The name comes from the etymology for the word "want."

Example: Mimi is vantgenic. Kitten missed his source friend very much, so she formed as part of his subsystem.

"I dunno... Do we really have that much amnesia? Maybe we're just exaggerating our symptoms..."

*new headmate forms and questions every aspect of our life because they have no memory of any of the decisions that got us to this point*

"Ah, okay, nevermind then."
