The Prism Minds Project: Many Experiences, Many Perspectives

Like light passing through a prism, similar experiences can be interpreted and understood in many different ways. This project aims to explore those perspectives without assuming any single explanation.

A long questionnaire developed by @anti-willo-solivan to understand systems around the world. The current goalpost for all respondents stands at least 600. This questionnaire was inspired by @anti-willo-sukuna and @anti-willo-valerie. Val has his own survey as well -> Take his System Survey Take The Prism Minds Project: System Questionnaire Approximately 130 questions (some questions are conditional and may be skipped automatically).

All questions are optional, and respondents are encouraged to skip anything they are uncomfortable answering.

Userboxes that say "This user is pluralflux"

folks is it a plural symptom to obsessively think about whether or not you're plural and straight up being Unable To Stop. like no matter what i do i cant stop thinking about the possibility i might be plural and my brain will just not take 'no' as an answer. like i opened up pandoras box sort of shit.

and its not even like 'ohhh it's obvious in hindsight'- i seemingly fit only a few boxes and only remember one (1) time that a different voice spoke to me in my head which lasted like 15 seconds total and was just them yelling at the top of their lungs to go buy a pumpkin pie. last year. before i even thought about plurality. and yet i have been stuck in logic loops for at least 8 MONTHS because my brain wont Shut UP about it despite how hard ive pushed back on the idea. if i try to say i dont, my brain will continue to give tidbits that seem very close to plural symptoms and pester me about it. if i try to go all in with being plural, then i go on with my life not really feeling any different or having any 'obvious' plurality tells and start doubting. repeat ad nauseam.

ive only recently got it to quiet down because i finally went 'okay FINE. ill play along. i guess it doesnt hurt if i pretend to have plurality in private' and ive been kind of been letting it sit lowkey within me instead of trying to 'act plural' (which i guess is what happened back in march for me, when i tried 'testing out the waters', but instead caused me to kind of. reject the idea of being plural even harder because it felt i was faking to the highest degree. despite doing all of that plural ''''acting'''' on a private tumblr account only i had access to. so like whats the point why would i be doing that)

sorry for the huge block of text but. as you can see ive thought quite a bit about this topic. anyways is this an actual sign of me being plural or do i have a compulsive disorder of some kind. i feel like a haunted victorian suffering from an unknown illness :')

Ok so I'm taking over this ask without telling mod 13th so we have no idea if he's online answering another ask or this one...... if a second answer get posted to this or it bugs out or idk whatever happens when two admins answer one ask then blame us

We (this mod) don't really want to answer "is this plural symptoms" too much since it's not really the focus of the blog, but in our eyes, that seems like... plurality. So I'll answer it anyways. Pandora's box is very fitting here even for us.

Our syscovery was like half a year ago for us, and first months were nothing like this, but lately the moment any of us think about our headmates everyone either 1. pours into being conscious and starts fighting / conversing / monologuing or 2. stays silent and stares at whoever's fronting intensely or 3. has non tangible radio chatter of themself. Usually 2nd or 3rd scenario.

Not taking no for an answer on being plural... is giving plural.

The "acting plural" feeling will hopefully go away in a... few weeks or months. Maybe. We still get it in the singlet leaning phases (we're pluralflux). If you haven't yet, go call out to those voices. Ask them what they want for dinner, since they wanted pumpkin pie once. Maybe you'll get a response. Maybe you won't. It's sometimes a waiting game so don't push it, ok? And faking is usually a conscious decision. You wouldn't be worrying about faking it if you were faking it.

Good places to start looking at what others may be going through is the median tags since they're often full of systems who have really quiet headmates or feel like they're forcing their system.

Like even beyond masking in public, you would never even know I’m plural irl unless you asked specifically. Probably not online either, because i have so many different accounts on different platforms that are completely untraceable to each other. I don’t use different names irl, i don’t use we/us in conversational type or speech, I don’t use different pronouns, I don’t have dissociative barriers, I don’t switch in any noticeable way. My plurality isn’t related to a disability, and it doesn’t disable me in itself at all.

I’m not a system, but I am my many different selves. All the masks and the wearer in one. Single and plural.

^ having long stretches of being one person. *cue denial that it ever happened*

^ sometimes feeling like no one at all *depersonalisation, dissociation*

^ feeling more plural in times of stress or after triggers *they're there when i need them*

^ changing between levels of separation: from none, to one, to one(?), to a few, to pieces and parts and people

^ feeling more plural if i focus on it and track fronting. feeling less plural if i don't *things get clearer and more distinct*
