Imposter Syndrom

A comic about fictives who feel the same as their source, yet not similar enough to it at the same time

Of course, many fictives may not see themselves as their source at all, and that's okay! This post is just about those of us who do see ourselves as our source, but also struggle to cope with the differences we have from our source selves Many times fictives lack the physical, mental, and other skills that their source may have had. Perhaps as a fictive you don't identify with the same gender, sex, or sexual orientation as your source. Hell, maybe you just even like a different flavor of cupcake to them. Whatever the case may be, this post is a reminder that you don't have to try to be exactly like your source. You're free to be your own individual person; no one will see you as less. And if they do? Then that's their own problem. You're not just based off a fictional character, you're an actual person with your own set of traits and capabilities. Don't look down on them because they may not be exactly the same as you hoped. Enjoy what makes you unique

This wasn't meant to be edgy or anything, I just wasn't sure how else to draw it

Often in our system we experience masking as our host a lot, even me, who IS one of our hosts. I still find myself masking as our other one

A lot of systems deal with it and I just wanted to draw it

I'm not super open with having OSDD. But I'm really upset over the fact some people have said this disorder is fake. It's stupid sure but Christ!!!

Like memories that I should remember, I can't. I can't fucking find them anywhere unless someone says I can for my own being (Love u Gatekeeper /gen)

I would love to be able to recall an event! But I can't! And it's always made me upset!!! And the fact someone can claim this is fake. That I'm faking. That I'm just "roleplaying" makes me so angery.

Yeah I fucking love roleplaying hating people for no good reason. I love roleplaying forgetting who I am in the moment and having to go on. I love roleplaying having full break downs in my head!!! God I fuckingoge that shit.

And to whoever fucking thinks I'm faking or others are. Please kindly fuck off and just block me. And don't leave shit in the tags either saying I'm faking either, I'm just a random user on Tumblr ranting about my experiences.

Listen to others who also have DID and or OSDD, share your experience in the tags. I need some positive shit.

hey Tumblr so i have a few questions for the d.i.d community

so I've had these characters for a while, they are an object head character, specifically a dice and each side is a different character technically.

since this character kinda reminds me of d.i.d i wanted to know an appropriate way of going about with this character that doesn't put d.i.d in a negative light or anything like that.

i also haven't decided on their background yet because i wasn't sure what exactly would be appropriate. like should i give them a traumatic upbringing so the character doesn't accidently validate 'endogenic systems' or what?

Plural community, I need your help

(This is going to be a long post but please, I would really appreciate it if you took the time to read through it. Thank you very much, continue)

Hey, hello. I'm reaching out to the D.I.D/OSDD/Plural community in general, I need you guys' help. I have a slight suspicion that I might be an OSDD 1-b system but, my mind just keeps hammering in my head that I'm faking everything, that I'm just actively pretending to have all these symptoms and red flags just so I can sorta "fill the void" of feeling extremely lonely. It wouldn't be the first time I did that to myself- making me think I have a disorder when in reality it isn't true.

So I just need to know... how did you figure out you were a system? What signs should I be wary of? How can you even tell at all? This specially goes for systems with little to no amnesia barriers, since that's my case.

Some of the symptoms -or I guess things I've noticed that made me second guess- are:

I've been through childhood trauma (starting at age 8).

I can't remember my childhood/pre-teen years, specially from ages 10 to 12, only some bits and pieces. That time is a big ass blurr.

I've always referred to myself as "we" ever since, well- I can't really remember when.

I've had times in which I sort of turn into a child, but I can remember everything that happens. Is like there's two versions of me at that moment- the "child" me who's currently in control of the body, and myself, who's always in the back fully aware of what's happening and ready to jump in if anything occours. I thought that was age regressing, but I'm having second thoughts.

I've had times in which I feel like I was some characters of media I like, and I fully feel like I'm... Them. But again, still can remember everything that happens. I recall this one time when I was really distressed about something and suddenly, bam, felt like I was a character and I completely calmed down.

I've had these voices in my head for the longest times, I call them parts of myself. Like one of them particularly is keen of keeping me stable, grounding me if I'm having a panic or anxiety attack, reassuring me everything's gonna be okay, etc. Another part likes to argue about everything I do, having more of a negative outlook of things (this part is actually the one that keeps telling me I'm faking everything). Another part is the child one I was talking about earlier, I can feel her anger and pain and confusion about everything that happened to me.

I am so used to having internal arguments about everything, and I mean everything. I talk myself through my issues by discussing with these different parts.

These past few days, every time I try to do some research about OSDD I feel this awful feeling that I shouldn't, this feeling of panic.

Some reasons of why I think I'm faking everything:

Again, no dissociative barriers between almost everything that I've listed so far.

I have to kinda force myself or force my brain to be able to "listen" to these voices, and they quiet down when I'm focused on something else or I completely forget about them. This leads me to believe I'm imagining it all. If it were truly some sort of dissociative disorder, I would not have control of when I hear them.

If I am truly a system, wouldn't I have noticed it earlier? All of my life I went along living like a singlet, never questioning if I heard voices or not, never showing a symptom. Sure, the whole POINT of a system is to never let the host know, but still.

When I was about 13 I started doing my research on D.I.D (because I'm a huge psychology nerd), and I convinced myself I had that disorder. Even going as far as pretending to have it online. Yeah, I know, I was an asshole. That's why I'm worried I might be doing the same here.

Because of personal reasons, I lost my friend group and ended our relationship with my previous partner. That's why I feel extremely lonely, and that loneliness might lead me to make myself believe I have someone in my head, anyone. That way I won't be alone.

Not proud of this one, but I have to admit... I wanted to be a system when I did my research back in the day. The thought of not being alone anymore, of having someone else to step in like no one did for me when I needed it, of having someone else by my side... I really wanted that. And I'm afraid that desire is clouding my vision of whether I have a disorder or not.

If you got this far, thank you. It means the world. Please, I am open to any answers or advice you wanna give me, I'm desperate at this point. I just really wanna know if I'm faking it or not.

Thank you, sending love.

Me: "its not funny anymore, it was funny once. Its not fucking funny anymore."

Him: "w-what i've only said this one i- i dont even what? Its not a joke- huh??"

This is why I love that our host is a pussy, when I stand up for myself people's reactions are HILARIOUS.

Hey guys I'm funny

Just decided to make some system memes because I was bored. Normally we'd post this on our other account @idiotsquadsystem but we're currently shadow banned over there and Tumblr won't fix it

@moth-yknowtheartist Thank you so much for showing interest in this specifically I've wanted to talk about it for so long /vpos

ALRIGHT so.

What you probably already know (or not) is that introjects form primarily because the brain finds comfort in the source when everything else is shitty. If the source is a safe space for the victim to shelter themselves with, the brain splits an introject of it to be that safe space all the time instead of just when the individual consumes media relating to it!

For example, in the case of fictives, if someone indulges in a show/movie/book during a stressful/traumatic time and finds comfort in it, the chances of a fictive splitting increases because the brain sees their source as a safe space for the individual, and also something can help the system! As for factives, it's the same principle, but instead with a person! If the individual finds comfort in one of their IRLs, a content creator, or even a celebrity, the chances of an introject forming from that source rise because the brain finds it useful/helpful!!

Now, what happens when an introject splits is the brain will take aspects of their source, and create an alter around it that will correspond with their part of the brain! For example, the brain took the control freak nature of my source and my logical thinking, and made Me the frontal lobe; because that's the part of the brain responsible for logic, rationality, organization, etc. All of which apply to yours truly :3.

Another example is how Mira in our source was very emotional and sensitive, but she's also very rational with her emotions, so when she split the brain took those parts of her and ultimately made her the prefrontal cortex; the part of the brain responsible for regulating emotions!

Also some fun facts/myths, people say introjects are rare which Isnt True! Introjects are just as common as brainmade alters. I feel like that mentality stems from thinking that DID/OSDD are caused by extreme trauma, when it's actually caused by inescapable repeated trauma; and honestly thinking it stems from "extreme" trauma might be why some systems have intense imposter syndrome, bc they think that their trauma isn't "severe enough"! Also, a split doesn't need to be triggered by a life-altering event. The source can really be any negative emotion, like stress, fear or anger. Some systems - like polyfrag or HC systems - split very easily because of that, which is completely valid!
