Chat, am I plural if I don't hear other voices // have different subconscious and instead have these "personas" that I put on whenever I need them and create new ones if needed? (for example, if im dealing with stress I would feel like [X Name here], which also might result in a shift of tone, pronouns, gender and such or if I want to comfort a friend I switch to a persona thats more gentle and warm)
Im aware that its just me "acting out" different roles but I havent heard of anyone doing it to the extend that interests and such change so ive been trying to look for a label that might fit aswell
We relate to this heavy. This was more of a thing we did when we were little that evolved into plurality.
With a lot of these things I think it's a 'survival' thing. Not survival like living but survival like trying to fit better in your environment or get through the day.
Change tone, gender, and pronouns is definitely some plural stuff. I think kinning (like actual fictionkin) could also be an explanation but kinning (besides shifts) doesn't really change your whole vibe on a whim like that. The choosing to do it i would like to know more about.
Because on one hand I thought I was choosing to do things when really whenever I was in a situation a specific part would just be summoned to the front and because we're so weaved together we feel changes in everything just not memory.
Another explanation is coping and trauma. I can't say much because I don't want to assume anything when I don't have an experience with it so I'll link you to this. But I definitely understand putting on a little 'costume' so to speak with a different gender, personality, and look.
You're welcome! I encourage you to ask more questions, research, and choose whatever you label you think is right ♥
