Omg anon that is not how tulpas are created. Please, please educate yourself. You’re embarrassing.

@ the person saying calling yourself a system when you’re not isn’t hurting anyone: being a singlet and calling yourself multiple harms your cohesion and sense of self.

That’s not what that person was saying. What they were saying is you don’t get to say who is singlet and who is not.

@ other anon saying that knowing you’re a system means you’re a system: you’re discounting the existence of imitative DID and the enormous number of people who incorrectly self-diagnose dissociative disorders.

Not wanting to self diagnose is exactly why many multiples do not use the DID label.

tulpas are created through hypnosis and can be classified as OSDD-1.

It says you have to experience distress for OSDD. What about those who do not experience distress?

how is telling you the literal definition of something applying the standards of a disorder? i’m telling you what a term specific to a disorder means. you’re clearly not listening. being multiple means that there’s dissociative barriers between personality states. if that’s not your experience, why are you using that label for yourself? actually answer the question, you keep avoiding it.

I am using the label for myself because the label applies to me. The label multiple applies to me, because I am a member of…

I wonder if multianon has any sources that can prove that being a singlet is inherently healthy. Probably not, since healthiness in singlets is something implied. I don’t know why it’s suddenly so unbelievable in the context of multiple systems that they wouldn’t have clinically significant distress as a result of being multiple (which according to the DSM 5 is the key defining factor of what makes someone disordered in the first place).

Good point!

@anon, check Dr Samuel Vessiere’s tulpa studies. Which you’d have seen if you looked up the cited reddit FFS

Anon, here’s a source!

@ anon talking about you essentially saying “I know I’m a system and then therefore I am a system”: Wow. It’s almost like, you know, that that’s /the criteria for being a system/

Seriously, I don’t know what else they’re looking for.

@ anon: Good gravy please shush yourself. You cannot speak for the experiences of other people, whether or not you have a textbook, a degree, or even the disorder yourself. Everybody is different, and these people are hurting no one

That anon doesn’t know when to quit.

i haven’t been trying to apply the standards of a disorder, i’m trying to tell you that being multiple is inherently dissociative, so if you’re not dissociating, how are you multiple? maybe try answering with an actual answer this time, instead of “i know i’m a system, and therefore i am a system.”

Anon, anon, that’s applying the standards of a disorder. Helloooooo *knocks on your head*
