hey!! this isn't a specificially factive related question but I do not know other system based tumblr's active enough to help, so pls do if youu can!
Is there a term for two alters being , almost the exact same person yet different in ways? example being, they share the exact same memories, have the same friends, front together, are the same person but different, i don't get it and i need help figuring this out if you or anyone in the comments of this ask could help, thank you VERY much!
hey! thanks for the question
im gonna be honest none of us are very good with system terms but!! we do experience this ourselves, we just call them twins/hydras depending on what the differences are:
twins - same source/visual look, can be separated but often seen together, often times they like each other
hydras - always front together, visually diffrent (can still be the same source however just visually able to tell apart), cant be separated in front and will always be seen together, sometimes dont like each other or bicker but mostly do agree
these are just terms we come up with on the fly to explain our own experiences, if you find them helpful then feel free to use 'em💪
if anyone else has anything that they think may fit better then chuck an ask or a comment
