I am officially done with hating on plurals

Wed, 10 Jun 2026 14:34:48 +0000

Just imagine I said something under anything about plurals. I decided I was being too mean.

hatefullness towards ANY disorder is ableist btw

Sun, 31 May 2026 17:10:32 +0000

That includes ASPD, NPD and DID/OSDD.

A good chunk of yall are ableist and still denying it so I felt like I should say this.

Plural =/= disorder btw

Wed, 20 May 2026 11:51:46 +0000

I keep seeing people saying “treating disorders like-“ “faking disorders for attention-“ etc, but plurality isn’t related to D.I.D or OSDD.

Plural is a term for anyone who has multiple personalities, including systems. You can be plural without being a system, too.

Now, D.I.D. Dissociative Identity Disorder (D.I.D) is a serious mental disorder in which a person who has gone through severe trauma(s) develops multiple distinct personalities with amnesia barriers to protect the mind from trauma. It often hides from the person who is living with it, and that is the reason that many people with D.I.D do not know they have it until later in life or adulthood.

Not all systems have D.I.D, though. They can have OSDD, UDD, P-DID or not have a CDD (Complex Dissociative Disorder) at all. Traumagenic systems can be non-disordered, though fully endogenic (non-trauma based) systems cannot have CDDs.

Quite a few disordered systems cannot get diagnosed due to living with abusers, not having access to mental health care, living in an environment where attempting to get diagnosed is unsafe, etc. and it is not appropriate to tell them that they are faking purely because they are unable to be diagnosed. Not to mention that diagnosing CDDs takes years.

Just overall stop being rude to everyone.

Things we (my sys) hate

Thu, 12 Mar 2026 13:45:01 +0000

(Dni with post if all you're gonna say is "okay i guess" or similar)

"are you diagnosed?"

You don't need to know <3

"you're faking"

Ah, yes, because I totally want to fake 13-ish personalities at once

"i wish i was a system"

No the heck you don't

"You need to be diagnosed to say you're a system"

me and my headmates are good, thanks

"I have trauma and I don't have multiple personalities"

Ok and? do you want a cookie? a slice of cake perhaps?

"How do relationships work?"

Unless you plan on dating us it shouldn't matter

""r/fakedisordercringe""

You have no clue if the person actually has a disorder or not

"How do you have 13 personalities?"

We js do

Ok anyways bubyeeee

-Rbow (she/they) + Zero (any/all)

Is this js our sys

Wed, 11 Mar 2026 20:53:51 +0000

(Non-systems dni with this post pls)

Like whenever someone new fronts it's like

"WHO AM I? WHAT IS MY NAMEEEEEEEE wait nvm my name is (idk froggi or something)"

"yooo this place is coolllll WHERE AM I GYNGBGHANJXBBUJHBG*JGHAJHBGSHJBZIKBJJGBGJAK"

idk

-Rbow (she/they)

A diagnosis doesnt fix it (+ other things)

Thu, 05 Mar 2026 00:02:15 +0000

People have been constantly telling me to "GET DIAGNOSED" or "go to therapy" when guys

If you get DIAGNOSED with say diabetes, the diabetes doesnt go away. If you get DIAGNOSED with *insert disease* it doesnt make it go away

Same with mental things. Even if I was diagnosed with anything, its not like I could share my medical history with you. Like stop asking

FURTHERMORE most people are too scared to get help. Most systems form from parental trauma and telling parents would only make it worse.

Its not like say, I take some pills or go to a singular therapy session and poof, theres only one person in my head.

I literally cant imagine having just one person in my head. Stop telling me to. Its not going to work. I literally could not function if there WAS just one, because we all have our own roles.

if you're gonna fakeclaim, go ahead and waste your time. Its not gonna do anything.

-Edalie (she/they)

Hmmmm (plurality related, click off if you dunno what that is)

Wed, 04 Mar 2026 19:13:00 +0000

So I usually say i don’t have amnesia At all

Whenever I see it it’s like “I woke up in my house with no memory of the past week”

I don’t forget complete hours or anything

But I watched a recording of myself from yesterday and I don’t remember saying half of that

I can remember that I did something but I can’t remember what it looked like or what it said

Like imagine you drew a plant

Yk you drew it but you don’t know what plant it was or what you were thinking when you made it or what it even looked like

But you know it’s there

Idk it’s complicated

Random signs I missed before finding out I was plural

Tue, 03 Mar 2026 14:54:20 +0000

“Well I feel like different genders so I must be genderfluid” “No im definitely a trans man”

”I just go by multiple names and pronouns at different times! That’s normal, right?”

“I’m just making up people in my head!” (One of my headmates was yapping at some point and wouldn’t shut up)

“I don’t feel in control of my body, oh well!”

Tbf i wasn’t educated at the time and all I knew about plurality was “amnesia, different personalities, EXTREME trauma when you’re a small kid” and I thought I had bipolar or something

-Chris

What does "Plural" mean?

Mon, 02 Mar 2026 02:47:10 +0000

what the sigma does it mean

Honestly kinda sick of people asking “what are you talking about””what is plural” on plural posts

Sun, 01 Mar 2026 18:18:48 +0000

Like I get a lot of ppl don’t know but you send them info and they ignore it

I’m not a walking Wikipedia bro figure it out urself

so um officially coming out as plural ig........

Sun, 01 Mar 2026 01:35:14 +0000

so um........

im plural?

or should I say we're????

idk...

elliot, (me,) who used to be our online persona, has kinda manifested as a person in our brain

and then there's our host, flo

and the protector, cathrine

idk my role yet

and there was another thing fronting earlier, idk who tho

uhh

yeh

also pls don't hate, cuz like I have a pretty low hate tolorance (is that a thing)

and that means I cant front anymore right now and Cathrine might take over or smth

ps do any plurals have tips for communication n stuff

pss I'm undiagnosed and likely not did and rather osdd cuz I don't experience much amnesia or sometimes even none

but I could be wrong

anyways bye, if u made it this far u get a piece of hair located somewhere in your house, ik crazy right /j

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: STOP FAKECLAIMING PLURALS THAT YOU DON’T KNOW.

Sat, 28 Feb 2026 20:05:48 +0000

Unless you’re a system yourself, you have no clue what a plural experiences and no right to invalidate them.

Just because someone can’t get diagnosed for some reason doesn’t make them any less valid.

Nobody owes you their diagnostic status or “proof” that they’re diagnosed.

A plural is a plural if:

They have multiple distinct personalities in any way.

A plural is not a plural if:

They have one personality.

Can’t believe I even have to say this.

Just because there are 3-4 active systems on here doesn’t mean it’s “common” or that they’re all faking.

Just because someone is endognic doesn’t mean they aren’t valid.

Now just stop.

-Red (they/them)

Plurality isn’t only D.I.D

Sat, 28 Feb 2026 10:02:23 +0000

There’s also OSDD, the endognic umbrella/non disordered, willos, and the list goes on and on.

Also, shame on you if the only way you can get views and answers is by copying someone else’s post word for word.

-Chris (he/they)

Uh so hi

Sat, 28 Feb 2026 07:45:32 +0000

This is awkward lol

So… my name’s Nicholson.

My friends call me Nico

I’m taken (sorry, boys); I’m in an in-sys relationship with Evan.

I like to read memes and will occasionally borrow nemeshia’s skateboard to go skateboarding with my bf.(in headspace)

It’s like 2:00am so I’m struggling coming up with things to talk abt, ToT

I’m an animal person?

Lmbo I should prolly go to sleep.

Oh yea. I’m 16.

How ‘bout you guys just ask me questions and I’ll answer them.

Ask away

-Nicholson (he/him)

New Headmate??

Fri, 27 Feb 2026 13:23:40 +0000

I found a new one last night

AT THIS RATE I'M GONNA HAVE A MILLION AT THE END OF THE MONTH

But his name is Muffin, uses she/fae/he, age TWO AND A HALF (youngest little)

fae fronted last night and u better hope u never see her EVER

I'm bad at explaining so to recap: THERE IS NOW A TRAUMATIZED TODDLER LURKING IN MY HEAD

So I've been researching more (plurality)

Fri, 27 Feb 2026 01:26:42 +0000

So River, Edalie, and me (peri) are apparently walk-ins/spontagenic (where people just walk in to a system spontaneously with no real reason or cause), Bella is traumagenic (caused by trauma), and Lin was parogenic/willogenic (i made her by will to fit my moms expectations, she basically is completely perfect and loves cleaning and homework and I force-front her a lot)

- Peri (they/them)

Chris let me front nearly all day >:)

Tue, 24 Feb 2026 19:54:10 +0000

Except for some time around noon

But im back now >:)

-Zero (any/all)

Is it just us orrrr

Mon, 23 Feb 2026 20:05:40 +0000

Why is night the easiest time to switch for us

Our record for most switches in a day is 6 and 4 of them were at night

Like what the heck bruh

This was probs Chris’s Idea to post but let’s pretend it’s not

-Red (they/them)

Played uno w/ Bentley in the headspace last night smhw

Mon, 23 Feb 2026 13:10:15 +0000

Don’t ask where we got the cards from

I beat him btw

Probably wasnt the best idea to leave the little in front but she didn’t burn the house down at least

-Chris (he/they)

Explaining plurality a bit

Fri, 20 Feb 2026 18:55:09 +0000

So if you go through trauma repeatedly when you’re a kid (a kid as in under 10) your brain may split your personality to make it easier to cope with

So then sometimes it just becomes your brains automatic coping mechanism to split your personality when you go through something stressful again

It might also add amnesia inbetween (theres probably a reason but I can’t remember rn)

There’s also endognic systems but I don’t have the mental energy to explain that all

In my experience a lot of stuff happened when I was younger that basically made my brain go “NOPE CANT DO THIS NEED SOMEONE TO HELP” when there wasnt help available which kinda went “no help ok then *creates help using pieces of existing personality* see all good”

And then I didn’t realise for like a year that having people living in your head that use your body sometimes wasnt normal

(When I did realise I thought I was schizo or sumt because I didn’t know anything about plurality at the time other than “multiple personalities”)

Systems (the name for the personalities in one body) can get really big so keep that in mind before fakeclaiming a plural for having a lot of alters/headmates/whatev you wanna call them

Into the slang part of the community we go!

Theres a buncha terms that plurals use relatively often:

Host - Personality that fronts the most

Alter - Short for alternate personality, also called headmate, sysmate, whatever you wanna call it basically

Core - the original personality

Fronting - when an alter/personality takes control of the body

Switching - When an alter stops fronting and lets a different alter front

Co-con/co-fronting - when an alter is partially fronting with someone else fully fronting/ 2 alters being consicious at the same time

Ageslider - An alter thats age changes

Traumagenic - a system caused by trauma

Endognic - a system not caused by trauma. (Not D.I.D/OSDD though)(Not always Willogenic)

Innerworld - basically a place where alters go when not fronting. (Not all systems have these btw)

Fakeclaim - claiming a system is fake for any reason.

Willogenic - a system that was purposefully created

Tulpa/tulpamancy - creating a headmate. Also sometimes known as forcing. A headmate created through tulpamancy is called a tulpa, a person who creates a tulpa is a tulpamancer.

I think that’s most(?) of the terms but then again my memory sucks

Here’s some of the role names or whatever you call them

Protector - an alter whose role is to protect members of the system from internal or external harm

Host - I explained this one earlier

Little - An alter who’s (I think) 2-8(?)

Middle - An alter who is 9-12

Non-human - exactly what it sounds like. An alter that is not human. (Robot, Angel, demon, etc)

trauma holder - Alter that holds traumatic memories. Trauma can be replaced with other words, similar meaning. (hallucination holder, etc etc)

Persecutor - i can’t really explain this well on here, basically an alter whose role causes harm internally (to the system) or externally (to other people).

Fictive - not really a role but I’ll put it here anyway. An alter who is a fictional character. Kind of like fictionkin but a personality.

Factive - also not rlly a role but adding it too. An alter that is a real person. Might be someone who helped you during trauma that’s no longer in your life.

OCtive - The past 2 definitions but with an OC.

I think I got most of the common terms? But I’m not sure.

Thank you for your time.

Turns out we have a pretty low split tolerance

In short:

We are so screwed

PLURALITY IS REAL.

Thu, 19 Feb 2026 14:40:55 +0000

people shouldnt be scared to say they have did. this is extremely messed up. someone said they have did, and got fake claimed. just let them say their experiences without being fakeclaimed! i cannot believe the amount of common sense you people have! im talking all of you guys. i have a friend with plurality. they got fakeclaimed and laughed at when they told people. stop the dang hate!!!

Innocent until proven guilty

Thu, 19 Feb 2026 08:48:56 +0000

The people on this site that some believe are faking plurality should be treated like they are a system unless if is proven that they are faking, which I highly doubt.

I’m keeping this post short and simple.

Until dusk…

~ Umber <they/them>

Mods why do some of the things I post supporting people with plurality keep getting hidden?

Wed, 18 Feb 2026 23:41:38 +0000

I just want them to know that someone out there supports them and doesn’t think they’re faking it.

Until dusk…

~ Umber <they/them>

Guys, what’s with all the drama?

Wed, 18 Feb 2026 21:40:45 +0000

And no, this isn’t about Novabloom. There are already enough posts about tero. This is about plurality.

Why do some of you think the people on this site who have plurality are faking it? You have no reason to.

Uhggg I feel myself getting angry so I won’t be able to write much more.

Hating on people for being neurodivergent is crazy.

:(

Well, I better stop writing before I get angry.

Until dusk…

~ Umber <they/them>

Hey. (Plurality)

Wed, 18 Feb 2026 20:48:42 +0000

So…

I am a system.

I have known for about a month.

I have been scared to say it.

But ya

There are about 6-ish people(?) in our system.

Chris is the host, which may of been kind of obvious.

I’m actually shaking by writing this.

But yeah

I just wanted to say.

I might regret posting this later.

I might take this down.

I’m scared to post this.

But I feel like this is something I should say.

Thank you for your time.
