*barks politely*

stop talking about "body age", using "we/us" or sign-offs, and especially talking about having DID when you're undiagnosed (yes, even if you're "medically recognized", "in treatment for suspected DID", etc. get a diagnosis or shut the fuck up). i don't see any of you as "peers" or deserving of respect, even if you think you're "one of the good ones". i see you as being on the same level as any other faker, you're pathetic.

i won't block any of you (i highly suggest you block me yourself), but please realize that by interacting with my posts you are making it real easy for a syscringe member to find new material. stay safe out there and make your blogs private for fucks sake.

a narcissistic obsession with your own disorder and/or symptoms is one of the main things preventing successful treatment later on, and every single person trying to act like a martyr of the community, even the ones who post accurate information about it, are hurting their progress by focusing too much on it. you are not your disorder. DID has a high recovery rate for people who don't feed the obsession.

why do you care so much about being seen by us (syscringers)? why does being noticed by us feel validating? you're just feeding your victim complex and coming off as a pathetic attention seeker, even to other "systems" lmao. nobody fucking likes you.

I personally have a pretty elaborate "inner world" that changes frequently, because I enjoy imagining things. That's the only thing that actually makes a difference in how complex they can be. You don't need to have DID or any other dissociative disorder to have an inner world to imagine when you need a break or feel bored. Even using daydreaming (which is what it inherently is) as an escape from the horrors of everyday life, can be perfectly healthy if done in moderation.

the popular (unfortunately) general understanding is that these parts exist as separate entities, and that they somehow have separate consciousnesses from eachother. this is almost entirely wrong.

i feel like a better way to explain it is to just state the truth, that there is only one consciousness at all times, with dissociative barriers that affect it (emotional, amnesia, etc.). the person with alters only feels like different people, because that's what the disorder they have does. alters aren't actually some special bonus thing that exists exclusively in people with complex dissociative disorders, they're just the brain making things appear to be different identities in one body. it's similar to depersonalization, but more severe and complex (obviously).

this is why "what XYZ does when not fronting" posts are so nonsensical; it's simply impossible. if alters are not fronting / part of the active consciousness, they just aren't there. some try to explain it as the alters "being asleep/unconscious" but in reality they just... aren't anything. they're not actual separate people in your brain.

even on a subreddit like systemscringe that's dedicated to pointing out the absurd misinformation people spread, i get downvoted sometimes for pointing out stuff that absolutely isn't normal, because the misinformation has been spread so far that people just assume it is. just now i had to explain to a thread of replies to one of my comments that "fictives", in fact, is not an official term. that used to be common sense.

stuff like that is why i'm so passionate these days about pointing out shit that most people go "ah, well, it's not the biggest issue at hand, who cares" at. eventually someone's gonna start spreading it like it's the truth, and the scales will tip even further from reality. rinse and repeat. like, no rational professional would ever recommend someone genuinely use plural pronouns to refer to themself when the person already is at risk for worsening depersonalization upon finding out about their parts, but somehow this is just accepted in DID spaces as something perfectly harmless and even positive. it doesn't "acknowledge your parts", it sets you apart from them. they're all still you, for fucks sake. you just feel different because that's literally what the disorder does.
