^umbrella term flag for DSSD _____________________________________________________ OBJECT-EXPRESSED - DEPERSONALIZED SELF-SEPARATION DISORDER [OE-DSSD]

its perceiving yourself and your body and seperate things, perhaps even completely 

different people, and your body's actions and words aren't your own. (therefor, you have no external expression, actions or words that belong to you).

and you may use other things that you perceive as the true you, where you CAN express and act as 'you'; the example here is a phone, meaning that they way you act online is the true you. also, you may perceive other people as existing in a separate plain or space than you (this includes how you perceive your body)

Symptoms:

-the disordered may feel constantly or frequently depersonalized, with changing degrees of seriousness.

-the disordered may feel like they have little to no control over what they say or what they do.

-the person with DSSD can have a strong attachment to a piece of technology or a medium of art where they can express their true selves.

-the person with DSSD might feel like multiple people, or that their body is being controlled by one person while their mind is being control by another.

-[OPTIONAL] the disordered might identify as plural due to this disconnection, or could have a separate plurality disorder.

-the disordered might not be able to perceive other people (or their body) as real, or that other people are on a separate plain of existence from them.

AREA-EXPRESSED - DEPERSONALIZED SELF-SEPARATION DISORDER [AE-DSSD]

its perceiving yourself and your body and separate things, perhaps even completely 

different people, and your body's actions and words aren't your own. (therefor, you have no external expression, actions or words that belong to you).

and you may have a designated area where you can be the true ‘you’. The example shown is a bedroom, meaning you can have external expression in that room or somewhere similar but nowhere else. also, you may perceive other people as existing in a separate plain or space than you (this includes how you perceive your body)

Symptoms:

-the disordered may feel constantly or frequently depersonalized, with changing degrees of seriousness.

-the disordered may feel like they have little to no control over what they say or what they do when interacting with others and/or outside of their comfort area.

-the person with DSSD can have a strong attachment to an area where they can express their true selves.

-the person with DSSD might feel like multiple people, or that their body is being controlled by one person while their mind is being control by another.

-[OPTIONAL] the disordered might identify as plural due to this disconnection, or could have a separate plurality disorder.

-the disordered might not be able to perceive other people (or their body) as real, or that other people are on a separate plain of existence from them.

Apologies for the delay. The prompts are now live!

The same rules as last year. Three prompt lists to help you find the perfect idea.

Additionally, I've added the prompts in the alt text for the images.

Unknown: One Word Prompts. Easy for both artists and writers.

Playmaker: Sentence Prompts. Depending on how you work, these can be very easy or very hard to work with.

Yusaku: Song Prompts. It's a-okay to just listen to them while writing or drawing. I've tried to include a variety of songs.

After all, I did all the right things as I was told. I was polite, wore a smile and helped people with their problems. But whenever anyone would talk at me I could only tolerate them. This was severely discouraging. I found it more annoying than cathartic. Is this what everyone's always on about? Is this the magic I was promised?

It was frustrating that I never seemed to "click" with anyone and earnestly enjoy their company over my own. Objectively, there is nothing wrong with them. Not technically. So why. This left me very confused as I'd grown up in a largely empathy based society believing I was empathic myself. But everyone I'd met only made me feel the same.

"Meh."

Never had I actively wished for anyone to be in my life, only if they were interesting, entertaining or had something to offer. But watching others is very different from engaging with them on a personal basis. Here, I remain lost.

I can be social and charismatic through a manufactured persona but tend to keep private. I compartmentalize so well, many people only *think* they know me as I strategically reveal pieces of information to give the impression of openness-- but it's shallow.

How do you describe the phenomena of having charmed a number of loyal acquaintances that would do most anything you requested without personally having any deeper, closer connections or confidants?

I don't feel compelled to seek friendship for its sake. I never get the impulse to share my thoughts or interests in hopes of becoming friends, but simply because I wish to hear how my own genius, my own thoughts are received.

It really does begin to feel dull and empty. Like an itch you can't scratch. Every human needs enrichment. To be engaged. Bonds are supposed to inspire, empower, excite and impassion us. They make life more bearable, more vibrant. There is safety in understanding.

But for someone like myself, it's unfortunate we may only experience this unique solace, this joy once or twice if we are lucky, our whole lives. This possibly explains why sociopaths may do some reckless and thrill seeking things in attempt to satiate it.

So how do I quench my thirst for life?
