tbh it’s probably a good idea for natural multiples to call themselves something different? they don’t experience the same things so why use the same terms?

*shrug* I don’t disagree. If the multiplicity community decided to rename itself tomorrow I’d be all for it. Ive already been around for renaming otakukin…

I believe healthy multiplicity is real and your anon is missing the point, psychology is supposed to explain the workings of the mind not own them and only allow for their worldview to exist, so please don’t assume I’m one of those anons, but I think that what people like the anon are doing to you reminds me of what otherkin like you do to other kin, you define who can be part of the community by your views, like being against coping kin, according to my worldview as kin that is possible.

Sorry this took me longer to get to! You have a point! The difference is that I absolutely believe that copingkin exist as a phenomenon…

Yet more sources include Normal Dimensions of Multiple Personality Without Amnesia by Kunzendorf, Robert and Dissociation and Transformation by Richards, Douglas.

Thank you so much for the sources, anon. DIDanon has gone for now, but I’m interested to do some reading myself.

Other sources beyond Vessiere’s study include: Multiplying models: Personal identity, dissociation and the possibility of healthy multiplicity by Gale, Lindsey and Alterity: Learning polyvalent selves, resisting disabling notions of the self by Walker, Wayland. We can gather from these that healthy multiplicity is indeed A Thing that happens. What we -cannot- gather is what causes it. To label all non-DID or DDNOS systems as imitation systems or BPD is a huge oversight and logically unsound.

@ 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…
