i don't think i'll ever get used to that feeling of pure happiness when the people around me acknowledge my system/plural identity .. in a good way, of course.
it's just not the same as someone remembering things about you collectively. it tells me that i matter to those people enough for them to remember and recognize me as different people.
whether its "subtle" like how my partner tends to greet us by our specific name when we text them, or a friend being able to remember things a specific alter said/did as an individual. or more specific things, like the times our boyfriend/partner sys forgot for a second we aren't in separate bodies. and how he sends us random images near daily captioned "this is so (alter name)"
really, no matter how subtle it is, we do notice. and it makes us just as happy every single time. every little thing adds up and makes us feel happy and comfortable being "we" and not "i."
plural validation matters!! whether coming from a non-system or another plural, it all means a lot.
this has been sitting in my drafts for weeks, oops. i remembered it because another friend specifically wanted to show reffy something because they knew he’d appreciate it (they said “get the goober” lol) and it made us both really happy. so i wanted to add that.

Can you make a system role for an alter that helps us deal with pain? Sometimes this is by fronting but also sometimes just by being there and comforting us
Pain calmer
Alters of a system who's role is to front during times of pain, this can be physical and emotional

Altersoul / Otherbeing
[pt: altersoul or otherbeing. end pt]
Other names: Alterhuman, Alterbeing, Alterentity, Alterheart
flag is a wip
Altersoul is a term that refers to someone who does not fit the traditional standard of what is considered human, and/or does not identify as human. This can include non-human system members and introjects; however, it also includes singlets who don't quite fit the term human, or identify as non-human to an extent.
Otherbeing includes:
Therian, phytanthrope, otherkin, and fictionkin identities
Spiritual self-identities which may or may not still include degrees of humanity, such as angelics, celestials, god-shards, reincarnated gods, vampires, etc.
Identities of alternative humanity through dissociation, trauma response, or neurodivergent mental status.
Any other non-harmful self identification that will be seen as non-human
This term EXCLUDES people that identify as multiple, plural, median, and walk-in as an alterhuman identity. You can only be a system through trauma and it's not an identity you can put on whenever you want.

one of the most important things about dissociative identity disorder and generally being a system that i wish people would understand is that it truly isn’t as cut and dry as it may seem for member count.
you’ll see people who say they have “six alters” and then immediately assume it’s six fully fleshed out equal individuals with no confusion or fuzziness regarding identity. that’s simply not true in a majority of cases, as i have seen.
most systems still VERY much deal with confusion regarding potential splits, go through dissociative episodes where they’re unsure of who they are, sometimes feel no attachment towards any identities, feel like they might have split and then suddenly that person is gone, unsure if alters they haven’t heard from often have gone dormant, not sure how to react when alters do come out of dormancy, etc.
it’s not a fun feeling and it’s genuinely unfair in certain situations to force systems to list every single alter to you with full certainty, as if it will never change. because it will. for so many different reasons, systems will grow, they will shrink, they will fuse, they will develop. you can’t expect the person with the dissociative disorder and lack of core identity to be able to keep up a perfected list of forever, it’s simply impossible. you may have alters who stick with you, but that doesn’t mean changes won’t happen.
and systems who may be reading this — please don’t feel bad. you are not a hassle, you are not a headache, and you are not an inconvenience for simply coping with something like this. it’s out of your control and the only thing you can do is continue to cope to find ways to help yourself retrain from these reactions. please don’t allow yourself to be harmed by others who don’t understand what you are going through. there are people who will accept and love you for who you are, all of you.
past, present, and future.

So much more than "I feel like I'm someone else" , DID is so often "I feel like I'm in someone else's life". Like, this is not my house, these are not my clothes, that is not my cat, you are not my friends, but I've got to carry on anyway as though they're all mine and just hope that no-one notices that I'm walking in someone else's skin

this is your friendly reminder that faking is a conscious choice. you can’t fake unintentionally.
you can be mistaken, and that’s ok! there’s no shame in that. you chose the label that best fit the information you had at the time. that’s just part of life, and that means you’re growing and learning more about yourself.
it’s ok to be unsure, don’t be too hard on yourself. you’ll figure it out, in time. <3

please do not let online system spaces convince you that you need to label and have every single thing in your system figured out. that’s an extremely unrealistic goal and you’re not any sort of faker for not knowing every single thing.
just be.

( Non-canon accurate art because we can do as we please. This is a personal piece our CatNap fictive made of him and his friend DogDay that's in another system. You may treat this like any other fanart, I don't really care as long as you acknowledge it's of real people. )

i’m not a “DID system,” i’m a system. and, we also have DID.
my plural identity is more than a disorder. just because a disorder may influence it doesn’t mean they’re synonymous.
i know this is an unpopular stance, i’m not forcing anyone to apply it to themselves if it doesn’t fit them. just respect this is how we are ourselves.

systems, you don’t have to stress over labels or if something is “normal” or why something happened or anything else. i know it’s really easy to get obsessive over it, but please, give yourself some grace and accept that you will never have everything figured out. knowing all these answers won’t make you any more plural, just as not knowing them doesn’t make you any less plural.
taking some time away from the plural side of tumblr, discord, etc can be really beneficial if you’re experiencing something like this. take a step back and let yourself exist.
