being a "singlet very interested in systems" to finding out you ARE a system pipeline is real

[onryopuke]

When I get tunnel vision and my hands look too small or too big.

They feel too far away sometimes.

They look different, a different shade—but they are supposed to be mine, obviously, judging by the perspective. I tell myself this, most times, as it echoes through my head, that feels so crowded yet my words bounce back at me like an empty, haunted house.

just found this. This is how DID feels most of the time

trauma so bad my coping mechanisms have names and pronouns

[r0ttingsystem]

Being a system is so weird like my mummy and daddy didn't like me so now I'm sans the skeleton

[turtlesystem]

HELP THIS IS TAKING ME OUT

fronting alongside the traumaholder feels like this

[roots-system]

*at the alter store* uhhhh they're all out of normal guys

[osddid-i-do-that]

For any system that needs to hear this:

Experiencing periods of silence in your brain is normal. You’re not making it up or faking or actually just a singlet just because you can’t hear other alters 24/7/365.

[cemeterysquids]

saying "who said that" at the end of a sentence is a lot funnier when you're plural. who DID say that

[noctiscollective]

“fake disorder cringe” has us losing our mind so we're going to just say a few things:

systems can have alters younger (and older) than their bodily age.

systems can have nonhuman alters and introjects from controversial or modern-day medias.

systems can have alters that aren't the same gender as the body or use different labels.

systems can have high alter counts.

systems can want to change their appearance (using wigs, makeup, fake piercings, etc) depending on who is fronting.

systems can post about their personal experiences with their disorder and be open about having the disorder.

systems can have a complex headspace or no headspace at all.

systems can have varying degrees of dissociation and memory loss.

systems are not always aware of who is fronting or who they are.

systems can refer to their alters as anything they feel comfortable with, whether it be alters, headmates, parts, or even something like rats.

systems can realize they're a system at an early age or be unaware/in denial for a long time.

systems can go to parties, drink, smoke, and do “normal” things that singlets do.

system alters can have positive triggers.

systems can have times where their alters rapidly switch or their fronting room is crowded/overwhelming.

system alters can have varying levels of communication with other alters.

i shouldn't even have to say this one, but systems can have dyed hair??

tldr: if you don't have the disorder, don't speak on it. fake-claiming does more harm than good.

[freakthatdoesthekissing]

dont let anyone tell you in-sys relationships aren’t real or valid, the butterflies i get in my stomach thinking about my headmate is insane.

[thosecactussharks]

Something that looked like a lot of fun! Can’t promise we’ll answer fast but we are feeling pretty chatty lol

bored as shit have an ask game for systems

but it's not info that's mad dangerous to share online

💿 what's one thing you wish people understood about your system? (does not need to be about CDDs in general)

[exorsysm]

alter seperation is really confusing with low/no amnesia. i think a lot of people think that they have less seperate parts when theyre just relying on memory to seem similar. for example if i try a drink and dont like it, then someone else switches in and is offered the same drink they may remember my dislike of it and think "oh yeah i dont like that" even if they wouldve. and that can go for foods, opinions, art styles, clothing styles, etc etc.

and im not saying people cant have less seperate parts or anything im just saying this happened to us lol

[pluraljoyis]

plural joy is coming out as plural on a small, private account and your only close plural friend comments "TWINS!"

When we told our partner system we were questioning they went ONE OF USSS hehehe

[traumaholdercultureis]

trauma holder culture is wishing non trauma holders realized that trauma holders aren’t sad and scared all the time! we’re people, we aren’t just our trauma. we’re happy, angry, bored, calm, sad, confused, scared, apathetic. we’re allowed to have emotions.

[evilsystem]

being immortal and having DID must be crazy. yeah our boy Carlos hasn't fronted in 300 years and just woke up to the sound of Uptown Funk and started screaming
