New Plural Term - 2nd Personality (2P)
Are you median? Or maybe you're a facet? Are you a headmate who fragmented off of another headmate?
Well here comes a term your way! We made this to easily describe our own median experience with our close friends and partners, and you can too!
NOTE:
This term is paired with 1st Personality, or 1P. In order to fully understand the meaning of 2P, go read our other blog post :)
2nd Personality, or 2P for short, is a forceful alteration of your personality and/or thoughts, which happens when it mixes with your 1st Personality. This can lead to changes in what you say, how you respond, and your actions.
Every headmate has their own 1P, and when they're in the Innerworld, usually this is unaffected. However, once someone fronts, and especially if they enter primary front, the 2P will often mix itself with the 1P, and it may remain this way until the fronter leaves.
Some systems may attribute 2P to a previous headmate, a default state, their brain, and/or a blurred state. As well as this, some systems may experience 2P as being responsive, and this may show in how much it bleeds into the current fronters. However, usually the 2nd Personality doesn't speak or show up in headspace as its own entity.
This is more common in median systems and with facets, and is common with headmates who've fragmented off of another or previous headmate, however this is not an exclusive term and can apply regardless of how your system chooses to define itself.
