Some System Positivity Art!!

Me: *hears that bottling up your emotions is bad* oh no! I will make sure I don't do that!

My brain (devious): *makes the bottle invisible and hides all evidence of unconscious bottling up*

Me: see, I'm not bottling up my emotions :) I just don't feel them very strongly and feel very detached from them :)

In the next 20 years, I would like it to become normal for parents to treat their child's imaginary friends as if they have the potential to be headmates.

Treat them like people and let both the imaginary friend and the host child know that it's okay for them to be there.

Maybe the imaginary friends go away. Maybe they fuse. But they shouldn't be pressured into anything. If they can think for themselves then they're real and should be treated as part of the family as long as they're there.

If the imaginary friends do stick around, then it just means you get to have multiple children with the upkeep costs of one. 😁

THIS POST IS INCLUSIVE OF SYSTEMS OF ALL ORIGINS !!! DO NOT BRING SYSCOURSE ONTO THIS POST.

Never let your sysmates forget how much you love them.

honestly, i think the best part of our plurality is the emotional bleedthrough we have. it happens more the stonger the emotions are and it feels exactly like im feeling my own emotions, but im not the source of it.

if one of us is feeling bad, like stressed, sad, anxious, whatever, well now the others know exactly how they feel and can help to comfort them so much better than they could otherwise, also its great to just feel them calm down as you help.

but its gets better, it happens with joy as well. it really is an amazing feeling just bounceing pure happiness off each other, and theres been a few times we've gotten into a bit of a feedback loop with it.

im not sure were we saw it but i remember seeing a quote along the lines of "shared pain is halved, shared joy is doubled" and thats exactly what is like.

we love being plural and wouldnt trade it for the world.

Plurality

Host: *plays cool game once* That was fun

Randomly questioning whether you might legitimately be traumagenic because you most certainly have childhood trauma, but not knowing whether that trauma is why you're a system or not O.O

struggling with your identity?

try dissociation!!

dissociating from my identity worked great for the last 20 years.

i mean i am 6 people now but im sure thats completely unrelated.
