awhile back I was questioning a fictotype because I felt such a strong connection to them but it didn’t line up quite right. I stopped thinking about it for a while because I wasn’t getting anywhere with it. Then I saw that post about soulbonding and they kinda waved their hands in front of my face like “HEY! You’re silly!” So yeah, thanks for helping me learn I’m a soulbonder

There are definitely a lot of people out there who experience soulbonding, or are on the cusp of it, but don’t quite know what it…

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…

I’m curious about something. Does having memories from a certain canon mean that you’re fictionkin from that canon? Because I definitely have some memories but I’m not sure who they’re attached to, and I’m also uncertain because I do have a few soulbonds from that canon too.

Having memories or what seem to be memories from a certain canon does not always mean one is fictionkin. Its entirely possible that you’re sharing…

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…

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…

Is it possible to form a soulbond with a double of one of your fictotypes?

Absolutely. I’ve seen this a lot, especially recently.

As a soulbonder just wanted to say thanks to you and hamiltoes for being so reasonable and informed!

@hamiltoes Thanks anon! as a soulbonder myself, its definitely a subject that’s important to me.
