#pluralphobia

most people reject dissociative disorders as fake. if they do think theyre real they think its the murderer disease. if they think theyre real and dont think its the murder disease they still wont make an effort to understand your alters. and if they do make an effort to get to know your alters they wont have the patience for the disabling levels of dissociation. because once youre too dissociative to maintain regular conversation or not forget half your history or not space out mid conversation theyll drop you like a fucking bag of bricks.

ive known im plural for almost 10 years and it is still terrifying to be openly plural even in small, accepting communities, even with other systems present, because you never know when somebody-- sometimes another system-- will get "tired of" your "obvious faking" because you happen to be the most visible system there

People will be like "anti-endo beliefs are bad!" until it comes to anything more metaphysical and/or spiritual related, and then it's suddenly "well.... system travel isn't a real thing", "plurality is something that purely happens in your brain", and "i only welcome genuine spirituality, not that!"
