ODDITY’S COINING MASTERPOST
Hello, everyone! As you can see, it’s my very first post about coining some terms that are personal to me. I decided to make my own terms after realizing there was no proper terms to describe my personal experience with my complex relationship regarding my identity/personality. If they sound similar to others, just remember this was more done for personal reasons to better accurately describe my experience. Anyways, I’m currently in the process of making and finalizing some flag designs but if anyone wants to make flags in the meantime, feel free to do so. One last thing, these terms were made with the context of having an imaginative inner realm/world, so keep that in mind to help you better understand everything. I’m not afraid to be authentically myself, even if it means being perceived as cringe at my grown age. I’m going to continue to have harmless fun and stay whimsical.
Psychesona: A term for when you/your mind creates an inner/mental individual that embodies part of your personality. The use of the word “individual” is used loosely here as it is not an actual mental individual nor is it a separate personality. It is meant to emphasize that despite it being a sona/character/representation of part of one’s personality, it is still very important, personal, and “real” to the individual.
Innerealm/Innerworld: A term for the imaginative world in your mind where your psychesona’s exist in.
Note: I’m sure a term like this already exists, just putting this here as this is what I use. Paracosm doesn’t really fit for me, personally, as it’s not as detailed nor is there concrete details or rules of the “universe”.
Autovariant: A term for when your personality has different and distinct variations of itself. It can best be described as your personality having or shifting into different states, making you feel like an alternate version of yourself. You may feel different but at the core, you always feel like you despite the significant change.
Note: For further clarification, consider it to the equivalent of the phenomenon in fandoms where fans create AU’s of characters. Another example for even better clarification, would be the equivalent to Thomas Sanders “Sanders Sides”.
Note: For autovariants/ autovariant roles, feel free to use (blank) autovariant or (blank)variant. Example: Inner Child Autovariant OR Inner Child Variant. Using Sanders Sides, Roman would be a Creative Autovariant, for example.
Note: can be used alongside or separately of the term “psychesona”. You or your psychesona can have autovariants. Autovariant can even be a replacement for psychesona. However it works is up to you.
Term breakdown: Auto: Self + Variant: A different form of one subject/thing.
Spectronality: a term where one’s personality is or feel’s like a spectrum.
Term breakdown: (Prefix) Spectro: Spectrum + “Nality”: Personality
Border-Spectronality: A term where one’s personality is or feels like a spectrum due to their borderline personality disorder.
All these terms are inherently anti-radqueer, anti-transmed, anti-map, anti-zoo, anti-para, anti-transID.
DISCLAIMER: These terms are strictly for those who are one person/singular individuals. I just want to make it extremely clear that this has nothing to do with DID/OSDD/System/Plural communities or terminology at all to avoid any confusion. These terms are NOT anti-did/osdd/system/plural and do not use my terms as so. I just wanted to make distinct terms that are personal to me and my experience as a singular individual. Especially with BPD and AuDHD as they make my experience with identity very complex. These are not medical terms and do not use them as so. Additionally, this is a form of personal expression, please do not take it too seriously.
