#but i wouldnt say theyre inherent indicators of plurality

[bromantically]

Different person than that anon from earlier but also recently questioning singlet status and

What do you mean singlets don't typically understand headspace/switching/etc intrinsically. I literally randomly found out about systems being a real thing from youtube and the explanation of how all of this works just clicked like yeah that makes sense

Between that and the weirdness I experience where a significant of the dreams I remember involve me not being *me* (usually still retaining knowledge of who i am, just like. Playing the role of someone else, because also most of my dreams are lucid in that I'm aware I'm asleep but I have very limited control over what happens) when thats apparently not as common of a thing as I thought....

Man I thought this was bc I grew up being a designated player 2 as the younger of a pair of video game obsessed siblings. You're telling me even more stuff I've brushed off could be signs of hidden plurality?

im sure theres a lot of singlets who understand those plural concepts easily, and who experience the same things u do, so its up to u to look into it and decide if u think ur experiences are related to plurality or not!

but for more context, part of why i brought that up in my response was because i remember back when i was actively kinning and so deeply linked to characters and expressing myself through them, i felt like i was often more closely kinning some guys at certain points than others, and it tended to change up. i dont remember what kinning communities called it, but looking back on it, i think my moments of "i feel like this kin most prominently right now and ive "switched" out from another one" were likely just yknow... headmate switches

so when i came to learn more about headmates switching out, the way i understood them so deeply and could personally relate my own experiences to was not just me being like "ohh yeah that makes sense in general", it was more of like "oh this is something i have no trouble imagining for myself, i can imagine what it feels like and the reasons for switching out all make sense to me personally"

part of why i brought it up is also because when i came out as plural, half my plural friends were like "i fucking KNEW u were too normal about systems to be a singlet" lol

on what u mentioned about ur dreams, i used to have more dreams where i was someone else or occasionally a character, but ironically ive never had any dreams where im a headmate of mine. that aspect of ur experience is up to u to determine the meaning of, and if u feel like its related to ur plurality then go for it!
