idk I just wanted to talk to some uhhhhh systeming folks mhm yes yes the uh diversity of the experience of identity, self, perception and more! :) shy

I can go first, shit is whack, holy hell!

idk it still does not feel real and idk how long before it will finally settle in? maybe it is something I have to swim upstream against like a salmon to feel real about? maybe that does not matter?

also it is sad I feel like I need to conform to a certain standard or way of plurality to be valid smh where is the appreciation for diversity of experiences and minds-- the former statement to myself.

maybe I will post some system art!!!! (i want to share art I make so badly) :) YIPPEEE!

yes maybe I am too online or maybe I just like talking to nice people that may have similar values who may "get it"

    I think they are using sort of coded language to see if there is anyone here who has similar struggles. Like if you identified as a member of a small minority (maybe you do, idk) but you didn't know anyone like you who was also a socialist, and you typically meet up with other people like you online but don't want to give it away in a public forum because of stigma

      okay juice i started screaming and laughing /pos, it is not a coded word (or maybe it is?) I wish i am that cool :)) plurality and system is quite public words (to my knowledge) but plurality is the "less medicalized" term out of the two, you might be more familiar with the terms DID system, OSDD system, etc etc, tho I am really uncomfortable with DID + OSDD labels so I opted a not mmm psychiatric centered language! if that makes sense? (hopefully )

        Yeah I'm familiar with DID, and I came across some of the other terms in a thread about DID...I just didn't want to out you if you were trying to be a obscurative. I know there's a lot of misunderstanding around it, just trying to be sensitive. Just because something's medical doesn't mean its accepted and I see you're a newer an so might still be trying to get the lay of the land

        So if you don't mind, some of these terms are kinda obvious, but what is "system" or "systeming"?

          thank you Juice :))) yeah idk how to work this site!

          systeming-> I am just playing around with language :) if a system is multiple people in one body, then "systeming" is the experience in action of experiencing being a system! like,,, "how's your system going?" (?) hopefully that makes more sense than not!

              genuinely chaotic, mayhaps? I keep feeling like they are not real and that denial smooth things over but they are also very much real and (AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH) yes I just.... I DON'T KNOW everything is complicated hahahaha :)))

                Thanks for sharing, comrade. I'm sorry that you were made to doubt your own experiences. Ive felt like that before, for sure. Everything is complicated!
