I really hope you don't mind the ask- you made a post on FMS in February, and we recently learned we're a HC-DID system. we were wondering if you know how to tell if something is a memory or imagination? we have plenty of suspicions but no proof or even solid memories
hello!! i dont mind you asking at all! (i actually rlly appreciate it)
CW: as this is a post about HC-DID, there will be mentions of RAMCOA, but not in detail. back away from the post when necessary and tread with caution, but also keep in mind that the post doesnt go into any detail of any abuse
we have the same situation, we dont have much (if any) physical proof as to what went on in our past, we only have our memories
something that kinda helped us with figuring out is:
when its more of an imaginary thing, it will most likely only occur once, or if it occurs more than once, then the imaginary thought will most likely not be the same as it was before. there will usually be at least one or two differences within the imaginary thought, unlike an actual flashback
when it comes to flashbacks, the memory will be reoccurring and mostly consistent (though, the flashback doesnt always have to be 100% like the actual event that happened. it may only have a couple of altercations, but not many if there are any in the first place)
the flashback will most likely cause some sort of emotional and/or dissociative response out of you. since the memory is a flashback instead of imaginative thoughts. since you're thinking of highly complex DID, the flashback has a chance to cue some sort of programming. which is very terrifying, but as time goes on, you all will hopefully find some sort of management with the programming, rather that be a headmate that isnt programmed/isnt cued at the moment fronting with the cued alter, someone you trust watching over you while the programming is cued, etc, etc. its up to you and your system to figure out what helps best when it comes to situations like that
also to keep in mind:
the imaginary thoughts will most likely come up when you see some sort of post about RAMCOA-related trauma. your imagination will think of how the situation occurred, and thats okay. as systems, we all tend to have very wild imaginations. but, if the thought occurs many times and feels more and more vivid and real, then i think at that point, you can probably consider it a flashback, or something similar
thank you for the ask, and i hope you and your system are able to figure some stuff out soon :) just remember to tread lightly and to not rush anything. its very fascinating to learn, but remember that your mental health comes first and backing away from that sort of content is very much necessary

i see a lot of the same misconceptions in syscourse almost all the time, despite the many syscoursers who work to try and debunk that misinformation again and again. it makes me want to make some sort of syscourse FAQ or document that lists and disproves common misunderstandings/disinformation with sources/evidence, so that less people fall into the same traps (and so we can stop having to deal with correcting the same untruths over & over)
obviously it wouldnt be a cure for disinformation, because a lot of anti-endos dont care to do any actual research (the "im not reading all that" crowd), but i would hope that if i made such a document that people who actually give a fuck could read it and recognize what syscourse arguments are falsehoods, and what the truth actually is

I'm actually flabbergasted to realise that there is blogs and people actively participating in syscourse since ALMOST A DECADE./NEG SRS/
I'm not a "both sides are right" guy/DEAD SRS I'm pragmatic and will support endogenic systems and tulpas because unlike everyone in this community I actually grew up wildly disconnected to said community and labels and had the time to look at things unbiased, but seeing someone(s) being willing to fight the same arguments thrown at them again and again is stupid. not stupid, my bad, but it looks tiring.
even with the best interest at heart I find this useless. I would fight for trans rights and any other minority's rights as long as a fight needs to be done and more. but I would NOT do so by damaging my mental health to debate with people that are either not set on changing their mind by choice, or doing so just for the sake of hurting people. I would just throw some links and resources back and forth and that's it.
my point being.
are you guys ok.
my point being.
how fucked up are you to engage in meaningless fights in an emotional way again and again.
my point being.
I know you're fighting to help people. but I don't trust you./srs
seeing someone, not enjoying, but being able to live through such an emotionally challenging and low-key traumatising/damaging moment(s) normally and seek it again and again is making me feel unsafe.
are you doing this to help people or are you just enjoying fighting for the sake of fighting?
I don't trust you.
I don't enjoy infighting.
to be perfectly clear, we are NOT saying that we are not thankful for the resources brought by these people to the community. we are saying that we low-key wish to disconnect from the entire plural community as a whole. yet again.
-sincerely, a traumagenic, endogenic, spirigenic, willogenic, and protogenic, system with mild dissociation.

unrealted but what does endo mean? /genq
Short hand for endogenic! Which usually means anyone who is plural for non trauma reasons! or who doesn't relate their plurality to trauma. if you don't know what plural means, there are a lot of definitions! I'd recommend googling around or talking to plural people, because i dont have good words today. plurality is often associated with DID, but that's not the only source or cause :) another common one is MADD (maladaptive daydreaming disorder) or immersive daydreaming!
take this with a grain of salt, though - people will often change their personal definitions of what it means to be plural or endo to exclude others. perhaps because of their own internalized ableism, or exerting control over their online spaces is the only control they readily get, or because picking on a subculture of a subculture means that their targets often won't be defended and they can get away with using them as stress toys. Similarly to queer infighting, and aphobia. Thumbs up emoji

i literally cannot stand the "anti-endos are like transmeds" arguement like ah yes let me compare the subjective social construct of gender to the objective dissociative brain disorder, makes sense /s

The fact that suddenly yall swarming just because we don't care if we hurt a fake mfs feelings shows a lot tbh like I knew Tumblr was a cesspool of endos but damn lmao
News flash
—> Syscourse is barely real, because it's just genuine systems pointing out that yall just wanted friends in your head
—> Endos aren't real. Never have been, never will be
—> Yall are the ones who brought syscourse to the front of our blog, we were happy with keeping that to tags to tell yall we don't want yall near us
—> If you're gonna be buddy buddy with the anon feature, I'm not gonna care or take you seriously <3
—> yall the ones hanging on our every word

Can I ask for a hyperspecific microlabel?
If so, I'd like a narcissistic loveless aro flag, since I believe I am aromantic and incapable of/uninterested in any sort of traditional love due to my narcissism and the stereotypes surrounding it. The loveless aro flag would do just fine for me, but I feel like my experience is made very different because of my NPD.
Thx in advance!!
- Latte ☕
I completely understand this.
Narcissistic Loveless Aromantic Flag
The flag is a mash of the NPD flag by npdsafe, and the loveless aro flag by aro-punkwave, the symbol is from a alt flag with no known creator.

Citation from the icd-11. Like if you're more exclusionist than the dsm and the icd I think you should really rethink your perspective. I've made a longer post a while ago about how the gatekeeper of plurality is just bigotry and not scientific at all despite what people want you to believe, but it's always funny to read these passages again.
