i know this is about the extra stay and listen dialogue but i like that this implies that you do have to talk to her but you dont have to pay attention

As a system we have experienced both like people seeing us as too much the same and not recognizing that each alter is their own person, but also like. People seeing us as way too different and not recognizing the whole like. We had a girlfriend who was like "its creepy that your alters share your memory its like they are spying on me" as if we were not also a part of this person she was having a relationship with.

I think thats why the concept of like. Every alter is a person, but the system is also a person is important to us. And its difficult to clairify what we mean since we are kind of using the word person to mean different things there since there isnt really seperate language for it other than "alter" and "system" and people dont inherently understand what that means which is the point of this lol.

And I think that can be a real struggle within the system community because for some calling an alter a person can make it feel like you are seperating them out too much and for some calling the system a person can make it feel like you are seeing the alters as too much the same. And honestly we struggle with both a bit, because society doesnt have this inherent idea of being your own person but still part of a larger identity, like its not the same as just a community of singlets so just explaining it as a community doesnt really work in in the same way since like. If you are shoving away an alter its bc you are afraid of what they are holding and afraid of that part of yourself and if you do that outsys youre just being a dick (which. It can still be being a dick insys its just also repression or something to reinforce dissociation from a trauma).

And I think this kind of thing is why there is like arguments within system communities about language and how to count it, I mean some of it is just repression and not accepting alters individuality or genuine thinking of alters more seperately than they are, or variation between systems on how seperate they are that people wrongly generalize to everyone, but a lot of it I think is like what ways a system has been misunderstood most commonly causing miscommunication

So clairifying that each alter is a person can feel pointless and pedantic if youve mostly been seen too seperately, and clairfying that the system is a person feels pointless and pedantic if you mostly have been seen as too much the same

So when you say x is a person it can feel like more of seeing systems too seperately or too much the same since if you only have been mischaracterized in one way then the way you arent mischaracterized can feel obvious so anyone drawing attention to it must be doing it *too much*

And its really really hard to talk about in a way that isnt too much since language is made for singlets, and language made for us isnt inherently understood so it feels like we need to translate it into this universal language that isn't as precise

But it feels really important because its painful to not be seen how you are

As a psychological kin whoes brain introjects animals and characters because they are meaningful or fit my life or other mysterious reasons I feel like some therians can be mean about therians who have the symbolic meaning or human idea of an animal as important to them. Like its good to know scientifically wolves arent loners, but if being a lone wolf is important to someone's kintype thats valid. Sometimes the cultural perseptive of an animal is part of why someone became that animal, and sometimes it can become important to you as that animal even if its not why you are that animal because thats how humans see you and it got incorperated into your identity later.

Its ok if cultural perceptives of an animal are important to you even if they arent technically correct or something that animal would think about. You dont have to be an animal exactly as a theriform animal would be.
