you are literally the only person “debating” the term “system”

Judging by the fact that any time I use the term ‘system’ to refer to non-DID multiples, I have DID sufferers jumping down my throat…

Hello. I just want to say that, as someone who is a DID sufferer and studying psychology currently in university, alters actually can and often do continue to be formed beyond childhood if the trauma was never dealt with and/or if the emotional instability from the event/events never faded, along with other reasons. However, in order to be diagnosed DID, your first alter at least did have to form during childhood. I cannot speak for OSDD-1/DDNOS, as I haven’t researched those as deeply, but.

Interesting. My information on alters having to be formed from childhood comes from @this-is-not-dissociative and other such blogs. I am unable to retrieve the exact…

sorry but do you know anything about fictives in a system? do u know if like one can find out they’re a fictive of a character that hasn’t been around as long in official media as the alter itself has been around in the system-….

I am compelled to point out that ‘system’ is currently a debated term, as to whether or not it is acceptable to use unless you are…

i’m so sorry if someone asked this before but what’s the difference between headmates and multiplicity? and is it possible to have fictives as a part of a system?

Oof sorry anon, this question is all kinds of confused. Let me try to detangle things for you. headmate: a person/entity that is sharing a…

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…

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…
