For those who do not know the difference between permashifting and respawning,

Respawning is leaving this original reality behind. You may see "OR" used, which means Original Reality. Respawning has a lot of negativity around it because people assume it means you are dying here. That is a bigggg misconception. Respawning is just cutting all ties to this reality and not coming back.

As for Permashifting,

Permashifting is shifting to your desired reality "DR" and staying there permanently. The main difference is, that most permashifters don't remove all ties from here. They just don't put their consciousness back here.

Both mean not returning, just one is removing ties from here.

As for my opinion on it, I have debated permashifting. I have never considered respawning, but I do not judge anyone who does (within them not telling people they are going to sewer slide to leave.). I think it is normal to not want to return. Shifting is full of wonderful opportunities, adventures, acceptance, friendship, confidence, and much more.

It is completely fine to not return, as for it is completely fine to change your mind and return (one thing with Permashifting is you can change your mind, it just changes to a regular shift). It is fine to just want to go for the day or a week, or however long.

I think that once you research it, you learn about misconceptions versus what actually happens, it isn't bad or taboo or negative.

Every journey is unique to the person and I think as a community, we have to support each other. (Within reason). I know a lot of our admins are permashifters, this reality doesn't treat everyone right and this world is stressful.

A quick summary is, that it is completely fine and normal and misconceptions are the only negative thing I can think about with the topic!

I hope that answers your question!
