I’m scared, I have a head mate that is fictional and that’s never happened to me, usually the voices in my head are just different variations of my own voice, I don’t want to scare him off but it also concerns me a bit since this is all new to me. He stopped my other voices from fighting randomly and it caught me off guard, but I’m grateful for what he did. Any advice for making new head mates feel welcome?

Hey there! First of all, no need to be scared/freaked out. It sounds like this headmate is here for your benefit, and you’re not in…

What is multiplicity and how does it happen?

Multiplicity is when two or more people share the same body. It can happen because of trauma at a young age, which is called Dissociative…

Would you mind linking me to a few good DID blogs that I can get some information from?

I’m not actually all that educated on the subject of DID, since I don’t suffer from it, or know intimately anyone who does. Most of…

From what I understand crawl-ins are when they come before or during birth? So they’ve been here the whole time but they still aren’t the original soul and are continuing a life from elsewhere. (like I was sent here as punishment by one of my world’s “Gods” because I pissed another God off, but no one had a chance to live in this body first because the body was born super premature and that soul didn’t survive)

Fascinating! I’m interested that I’ve never head of that one before, because it actually is a really useful word!

Do walk-ins and crawl-ins not exist? Like if someone says they were born somewhere else and ended up here like a headmate would but have replaced the original soul from the body? (Kinda like a changeling from fae lore?)

Assuming you mean in reaction to this: http://fromfiction.tumblr.com/post/140121020412/how-may-i-tell-i-am-a-fictive-if-i-turn-out-not Absolutely walk-ins exist (never heard of crawl ins? Whats the difference?). I say ‘almost no possibility’ when I really…

You keep mentioning the “headspace”, but what exactly is that? Is it just your mind? Or is it something more?

Headspace can mean two things. 1. Just the scope of your mind and all the things that exist in it. AKA all your thoughts and…

you do realise that people with DID headmates/alters still have things like a median system, can ‘hear’ discussions, have alters as mentors or lovers and talk to them, right?

Yes? I was merely listing traits characteristic of soulbonding. As I said, there’s a significant amount of crossover between phenomena.

anon who sent the ask about soulbonding being different b/c fronting: If that’s the case, then what do you consider the difference between soulbonding and being multiple? Because to me this seems like a case of “well whichever word you want to use that one’s right!” with your definition and that really makes me uncomfortable.

Soulbonding and non-DID multiplicity in general have a lot of potential crossover. Here are the things that tend to make soulbonding ‘different’. All of these are…

In my experience through the soulbonding community – one of the major difference between soulbonds and headmates is the lack of ability to front or to front alone without the “host”. Just because you don’t have DID and/or have fictives doesn’t mean your multiplicity experience is automatically soulbonding.

This CAN be a decent indicator, but its not always the case. Soulbonding covers a much wider spectrum of communication than other multiplicty experiences generally…
