do you have any advice on what to do if i have an introject of an objectively terrible historical figure and said introject has the terrible beliefs of his source? he wants to use the name of his source but i don't want to validate that it's okay to keep that identity and those beliefs. for context the target of his ideology are groups i'm a part of so it's even more deeply uncomfortable.

Do you have any tips for finding system safe spaces online that aren’t like. Highly populated by weird people

adult only spaces are more likely to have a general population of people who have the autonomy needed to pursue recovery in tangible ways which tends to lead to people who care less about a lot of the more myopic parts of system communities, assuming that's what you mean by "weird" people

is it an expected part of did to just. know somethings happening w other parts or in headspace. like i dont. process it i simply know when i bring it up. and its been bugging me for awhile because it feels like im making shit up

given that it's all metaphorical and visualization of internal processes in a way that ur brain can understand narratively I don't know why it wouldn't be possible, it seems like that would be well within the purview of 'things that can happen.'

I can't be like 'this is expected' though but i don't think it's like. "oh wow I've never heard of that before."

my thoughts are simply just "yeah I'm sure that happens for some people"

if multiple people somehow misinterprets every single take you make that’s not a sign of them being bad faith it’s a sign you can’t properly articulate your point “but that’s not what i mean” but that’s exactly what it sounds like. instead of complaining just do better. it’s frustrating to see you post an extremely badly worded take and then act confused when people are upset by it. or don’t make any more takes at all

okay, then literally directly message me yourself and give me actionable criticism

Okay. We have only recently found out we are a system. What should we do? Going to a professional for help isnt an option because of the trauma and that we are under parental care. Just need some advice.

do you usually vaguepost about questions you're asked or

is it uncommon/weird to have a (small) system of mostly fictives? im sure certain parts have been here since before i knew their sources, but only started being more active once they had a stronger identity to latch on to. or am i just lying to myself and faking it all lol

Anonymous Coward · 4d

is it necesary to actually process your shit? like is there a reason not to just go "huh, well i guess i have trauma that i'm dissociating, but it seems to be working fine so i'm just gonna keep doing that forever"

is it a common cdd experience to not be able to tell when others are overreacting vs when youre underreacting?

did you at no point during writing these paragraphs think 'i should make sure this guy doesn't have autism first'

Hi idk if you know this but trauma holders actually do hold trauma… if they don’t then they aren’t a trauma holder! If they help cope with trauma that’s likely a trauma coper! There are alters that hold trauma because the disorder is meant to be covert, the host shouldn’t know about the trauma

please stop being stupid on purpose i'm begging you

ill try my best ! not sure how useful it is to be taking advice from someone unable to communicate in a way more productive than this but I can certainly give it my best shot

Anonymous Coward · 9d

different anon but I feel like you kinda denied the existence of HC-DID and C-DID while also approving of endogenic systems which is odd idk. I think you should look into C-DID and why it's absolutely a real thing

I’ve debated sending this for months now but fuck it. You need to stop speaking opinion like its fact and you need to be sooo careful with the things you do decide to post because you know how many times i’ve seen you post ableist things or dangerous misinformation and I genuinely don’t think it’s intentional. Like just…. Be more careful.

I'm fairly careful to say "personally" or "in my opinion" or "I feel" whenever I can but if you truly genuinely care about me perpetuating ableist things or misinformation it feels like to me you should probably be telling me what those things are instead of telling me vaguely that I am wrong sometimes as if I have a reason to say things that aren't true as opposed to just not knowing
