i have questions about plurality . how do y'all like. know?? that you're plural? is it something that some people make a conscious choice to be? i saw one person describe talking to someone about possibly being plural as similar to talking to an egg about maybe being trans, and i remember another person mentioning that one can just Be Plural if that makes things easier which is all fascinating i think and!!! i just wanna understand more especially since there's so many super cool plural people around
thanks everybody for sharing their experiences and stuff!!!!! i don't think i can respond to everybody (especially not this late!) but this has been Very Enlightening and i really appreciate the help!!!! everybody's been so nice!!!!
it actually all has reminded me of some plurality i experienced in high school with an alter id ended up assigning to my depressive episodes......... i just kinda saw it as roleplaying (because he started as an oc) but after reading all of this stuff it seems like the way id gone about it was better described as my own form of plurality i had (have?) going on. ive always had select ocs i see more or less as extensions of myself and i wonder if maybe i should look a little deeper into those
ive been doing some more thinking (and reading and REreading all the lovely comments ive gotten!) and i think im reaching a tentative conclusion of being plural somehow? but more in the way of my alters being segmented off parts of me as an individual. i still puppet them around but even so, they still feel separate from me
im finding it something akin to rp if that makes sense. in which i just kind of sit back and go into my head and talk with whoever happens to be there. and it's usually phobos, who's the one i talked about in my last addition to this post. i don't know if there's truly someone there, or even someone else entirely that im not totally aware of, but seeing these characters that ive put so much of myself into as other people up there i can reach out to for counsel or company is nice.
i don't know if this means anyone up there is available for real, non RP conversations. maybe in the same way as if i were to put on a mask and start talking as them, but i don't know. it's gonna take a lot more introspection i think, but for now im happy knowing that ive got support from y'all here. ^__^ i may talk more about this off and on as i dive more into it
