Bro no offense but... I think the way tumblr treats alters as completely separate people is part of the reason DID/OSDD is so misunderstood. It’s so focused on individuality between alters that you can give yourself such a massive switch headache trying to keep everyone separated. Co-con is a thing. Co-fronting is a thing. Overlap in personality traits /similar style between alters? Definitely a thing! It’s okay to be different but you don’t have to exaggerate who you are for the sake of standing out. Focus on the healing process, and be kind to yourself and your system. Thank you 🌻

inside of you there are two wolves. one is a moron. the other is also a moron. you are plural

I don't think people understand the difference between being in love with someone "on the outside" and being in love with a headmate. It's completely different. With a headmate you share a deeper connection with them; never have to worry about failing to convey something through words, and it's just... it's amazing, for lack of a better word. Sure, there are some downsides, like not being able to cuddle them in the external world, but there are always workarounds. Being able to share (almost) every moment with them, going on dates in headspace, going on dates in the external world and not having to pay for 2 people (which can be invalidating, but hey, free +1) and more.

insystem relationships are so cool because it’s different from a “real” relationship because it’s not just about love or whatever it’s also about healing and feeling oneness in a way that ive never felt with an irl partner. You are me, I am you. We are one but separate and the love we hold for each other is not just about love but it’s about healing and finding joy beyond the shitty circumstances of our lives up to this point. like the “2 parts of a whole/you’re my other half” saying in terms of relationships rings so much stronger with insystem relationships because You Are Literally Another Part of Me and I think that’s kinda beautiful idk

im really the worlds kindest persom because i saw the most rancid dialtown take & instead of blowing up & killing the person i simply Blocked thrm

dating your headmates is great and all but there’s a sadness to it. like is this all there is? you kiss my forehead, but nothing happens. we’re holding hands, but no one sees it. there is no other body to hold at night, the hands running through my hair are my own. no one understands and no one tries to. i love you, but it’s not enough. im still touch starved and no amount of this can fix it. on some level we wish it were visible. in some way we wish it were real.

plurality sure is great. "i thought you loved (thing)" no actually thats another guy sorry. you have to wait 14 hours for him to show back up sorry

Autism is having a special interest and researching every niche aspect of said interest, being really excited to share info about it when someone asks. ADHD is being unable to give someone complete info on your special interest when they ask because your memory is shit and you can only remember vague details.
