Nobody seems to talk about being a little in a system who has to pretend to be a grown-up a lot. I know this may not apply to all systems, but at least for us, our child alters are a lot more like permanently age regressed adults than actual children. We can mask as adults when necessary, but that can also make us feel bad.
Sometimes I wish I was a real kid without all these responsibilities. Something as small as being praised for something that most adults take for granted makes my day. I wish I could act, and be treated, like an actual child all the time, but part of us having to stay covert and function as an adult, with an adult life, is that I have to pretend to be an adult even though I’m not.
But when I see people on here say that littles shouldn’t be on the internet at all, it confuses me. Maybe there’s some sys kids out there who aren’t mature enough to protect themselves, and take care of themselves. But for us, our littles tend to be the toughest alters. We’re the ones that have been around the longest, that had to endure some of our worst trauma. Our innocence was already stolen, so treating us like innocent children doesn’t make much sense in my opinion.
But of course, every system is different. I just find it patronizing to see random people on the internet say that it’s not good to let littles on here. Sys kids are a lot more complex than you think. We’re different because of what we’ve been through, and how much we’ve already seen.

shoutout to systems without innerworlds and systems whose innerworlds function differently than the “norm”.
you aren’t any less of a system because of your innerworld, or lack thereof.

Yet another thing I don't see talked about in the DID community: the host anxiety of letting go of front.
Obviously it doesn't happen to every system, as some systems don't even have a host; but can we talk about the fear and anxiety about potentially never coming back to front if you fully let go, as a host? I dealt with it for a year and a half until I was able to actually start letting go and sitting off front for long periods of time. But there were times when 5 minutes off front fully caused me panic attacks.
This fear especially comes when you are a baby (newly discovered) system. This feeling that you built a life for yourself, and suddenly, you feel like you'll lose it to other people. And it's not that you want it all for yourself, but losing it entirely is what's scary. And there is usually a whole inner world behind you... who knows what happens inside of it, what it can do, who lives there? As well as, it's scary to let go of control of events IRL. Who knows how others would handle it, even if you know them well already?
And that's just our reasons.
Moral of the story: y'all are not alone, and it gets better.

Can someone just tell me in what way endos hurt others like.. respecting more systems doesn't disrespect the other ones??? Having a definition to not take away the definition of Traumagenic systems doesn't... Invade the Traumagenic space??? It's.. making a new space??? What is everyone on about..

more stress leading to more alters leading to even more stress, is a cycle that literally just feels like hell.

“The worst system struggles are this!!”
“No, the worst system struggles are that!!”
LOUD INCORRECT BUZZER
I think deep down we all know that the worst struggles are when your headmates get the stupidest fucking vocal stims and will NOT stop saying them. Currently going insane because the co-host repeats “I am absolutely PENISED!!” every third second

need to know im not alone in system stuff being awfully overwhelming all the time :') especially cuz it turns out that I may not only be a DID system, but a C-DID system as well and its sooooo much to process. if I'm being honest, I've had multiple breakdowns over it
and knowing that I've been going through this (and I know that other systems have as well) it just makes me even more mad at endos or people who think they can choose these things. I wouldn't wish this on anyone.
the constant confusion, overwhelm, and trauma it took to even get here - seriously, it's awful. this isn't "fun people in your head" time. it's a lot of emotional processing and survival tactics that, without them, who knows what would've happened.
it's just so much to even think about. TOO much.

fun system thing: hearing a quiet “that’s my name!” when reading something about a character and hoping that you’re just imagining things and it isn’t a new alter
