don’t get me wrong, hearing the experiences of others and seeing how yours aligns with theirs can be very beneficial! but don’t get down on yourself over your differences.

some systems have great internal communication, while others have none at all.

some systems switch very often, while others switch very rarely.

some systems seem to know almost everything about their system, while others know almost nothing.

… i could go on, listing ways that the system experience can differ. no two systems are identical, and no two systems experience plurality the same way.

you can be mistaken, and that’s ok! there’s no shame in that. you chose the label that best fit the information you had at the time. that’s just part of life, and that means you’re growing and learning more about yourself.
