Any of your friends or family members could be part of a system. Any of your classmates or coworkers could, too. Even your partner could be a system.

Plural systems usually do not announce our plurality. Because of the massive stigma around plurality, we try to pass as singlets. My system does this every day. My headmates have friends they've known for a decade who don't know we're plural.

It's said that dissociative disorders are very rare, but they're not. Trauma can and does happen to anyone. And many systems don't have dissociative disorders at all.

normal: having a few dreams or scenes from movies that you mistakenly think are memories from your childhood

not normal: being chronically confused between what memories are real and what memories are not, to the point that it’s distressing

normal: not being able to remember whether you’ve done something that’s part of your routine (e.g. “did I lock the door today, or is that a memory from yesterday?”)

not normal: having inconsistent gaps in your memory, and not being able to remember all sorts of things from throughout the day

normal: having very few memories from early childhood, and then needing a memory trigger to remember some memories from later childhood

not normal: having almost no memories from your childhood or teen years, and then patchy memories from more recently

normal: misplacing something after you accidentally put it somewhere different from usual

not normal: objects seem to magically disappear around you, and you find yourself forgetting where anything is

normal: having a worse memory when you’re stressed, tired, in grief, etc

not normal: factors like your mood can worsen your memory, but it’s bad most of the time

normal: feeling like the world is foggy or unreal after stepping out of a cinema, or getting off a plane

not normal: feeling like the world is foggy frequently (sometimes without cause)

normal: feeling like nothing is real after you’ve just heard some big news (positive or negative), or while grieving

not normal: feeling like nothing is real frequently (sometimes without cause or in a broad range of situations)

not normal: feeling like the people around you aren’t real frequently — even your friends and family

normal: feeling like the whole world is in 2D when you’re sick or experiencing a fever

not normal: feeling like the whole world is in 2D when there’s nothing else going on in your body

normal: losing touch with reality after reading an amazing book or watching a long film or experiencing some other immersive media

not normal: losing touch with reality frequently, to the point that you can’t keep up with your own life

plurality is our partner showing us hyena videos because Purple likes hyenas, plurality is all those little conversations you have in the bathroom when nobody is around, plurality is pacing around the kitchen because you can't decide what to eat and keep forgetting what you were doing. Plurality is finding notes and doodles you completely forgot you wrote. Plurality is finding little notes of someone else's style in your art. Plurality is giving yourself a headache because you went down a rabbit hole of trying to learn about yourselves.
