"i know they're faking DID/OSDD because their alters are cringe!!!!" This may come as a shock to you, but sometimes, people's coping mechanisms, are cringe.

so when their brain introjects or creates someone, it's also cringe.

I used to be really hurt when I got fakeclaimed, but at this point it's like that one incorrect quote of being accused of something you are very obviously not doing

Random asshole online, barging into my notifications/inbox: you're faking!

Me: *turns to my co-fronting headmate* (name)! We're faking?! Why didn't you tell me?! I would have put my book down.

i HATE posting about syscourse but like i need to address this

most (but not all, i get that) pro endo posts we see are like: haiii ^.^ we're pro endo/endogenic/not traumagenic/not disordered so pls do not interact if ur an anti!!!!

meanwhile most (again, not all) anti endo posts that we see are like: ENDOS FUCK OFF!!! ENDOS ARE NOT REAL ENDOS ARE NOT REAL ENDOS ARE NOT REAL ENDOS ARE NOT REAL ENDOS ARE NOT REAL ENDOS ARE NOT REAL ENDOS ARE NOT REAL ENDOS ARE NOT REAL ENDOS ARE NOT REAL ENDOS ARE NOT REAL ENDOS ARE NOT RE- ALL ENDOS ARE HORRIBLE PEOPLE!!! ALL PRO ENDOS ARE HORRIBLE PEOPLE!!! THEY WILL RUIN THE ECONOMY!!!! THEY ARE STEALING OUR RESOURCES(said resources most likely being either therapy which, not really stealing the resources since it's not exclusively for systems, pluralkit, which i'm 99% sure is pro endo, and simply plural, which i'm also 99% sure is pro endo (especially since they both use the term "plural" which i see much more commonly in pro endo spaces))

A very validating fact I learned recently is that you aren't being dramatic/faking when you unmask about your symptoms

If you're used to masking normally, it absolutely carries over to masking your physical ailments

Learning to unmask with your "invisible" disabilities is extremely difficult due in large part to the self fakeclaiming / denial

[moonpool-system]

People that fakeclaim with the pretense of "you're only doing this online, it's roleplaying" baffle me, mostly because like... These people do realize the people behind the blogs they interact with have lives outside of the internet, right? Like tangible ones in physical space? We're still existing as plural offline with all the benefits and complications that brings. We're reminded over and over again that fakeclaimers do not see us or know our lives. They don't know the times another member has been laughing their ass off or sobbing their eyes out in front, when our host feels no emotional connection to the situation at all. They don't know the money we allocate towards non-hosts' interests and styles, nor the feeling of physical sickness in the body when a fictive dwells on their source trauma. They don't know we have many fronting/activity habits that have nothing to do with the internet. They don't know how we feel when we know we're not alone at night because we're able to remind each other it's going to be okay.

They don't know our personal lives. They don't know the intricacies of our private existence. We are real even when the eyes of others are not on us. Fakeclaimers will never have power over us again.

Here’s some positivity for systems who have recently rediscovered their plurality!

For many systems, their process of plural discovery can be messy, complicated, or difficult to understand. Some systems may have members who completely forget about their multiplicity, only to rediscover it later on. There is nothing wrong with forgetting, rediscovering, or struggling to come to terms with or remember your systemhood! This post is for all those who are rediscovering or re-questioning their plurality!

🌸 Shoutout to those who rediscovered their plurality after being made to forget for their own safety!

🕊 Shoutout to those who aren’t sure whether or not they are plural despite having identified as such in the past!

💕 Shoutout to empty systems who have recently realized that they are in fact empty systems rather than singlets!

🦢 Shoutout to dualconscious systems who forget about their plurality from time to time!

🌸 Shoutout to systems who feel like they’re in a constant state of discovery or rediscovery!

🕊 Shoutout to those who rediscovered their system after forgetting due to being fakeclaimed, hurt, or traumatized in some way!

💕 Shoutout to those with complex dissociative disorders whose dissociative barriers makes it difficult for them to maintain awareness of their system!

🦢 Shoutout to those who rediscovered their system after forgetting due to having memory issues of any kind!

🌸 Shoutout to individual headmates who have recently realized or remembered that they’re not alone in their own minds!

🕊 Shoutout to systems whose process of rediscovery has been challenging, upsetting, or painful!

💕 Shoutout to systems who have easily embraced their plurality after their rediscovery!

Having multiple instances of system discovery is actually a normal and common aspect of the questioning process for many systems. If you have recently rediscovered your plurality after forgetting about it, hiding it, or brushing it aside for any reason, we want to let you know that we see you, we believe you, and your rediscovery does not invalidate your plurality in any way, shape, or form! Know that you belong in the plural community, and we are so very happy to have you here!

If you’ve rediscovered your plurality recently, please don’t go hard on yourself for forgetting or refusing to acknowledge your system. What matters most is that you have made progress on your journey of self-discovery! Even if you forget again in the future, that doesn’t negate your progress whatsoever. Please remember to take it easy and have some patience and compassion for yourself and your system! Thank you so much for reading, and take care!

(i say "you" in a loose manner and do not actually talk directly to the reader most times. because what i say may be a little upsetting snd it looks like im yelling i just want everyone to be safe)

hey fucking DNI if you think its okay at any capacity to post me or other systems on systemscringe. fuck off. fuck. the hell. off. youre not high and mighty for gatekeeping system experiences. youre not better than anyone for claiming someone who youve NEVER FUCKING MET IN YOUR ENTIRE FUCKING LIFE IS FAKING SOMETHING. YOU CANNOT TELL. YOU CANT. END OF FUCKING CONVERSATION. YOU ARENT A PROFESSIONAL, YOU ARENT BETTER THAN ANYONE. IN FACT IM BETTER THAN YOU. I AM BETTER THAN YOU. SO SHUT THE FUCK UP.

(this post isnt about endos. endos are not systems. theyre something entirely different and should not be in system spaces. stop forcing yourself in mentally ill peoples spaces and utilize your fucking block button instead of harassing me for dekais sake im sick of it.)

average DID study: we assessed TWO people (representative of the entire DID population) who were diagnosed using the DSM negative twelve (which the dinosaurs used). we told a story and then asked them to tell us ONE thing about it, then gave them a score of how well they remembered the story based on the vibes of what they told us. they remembered anything at all, so the conclusion to take from that is that they were probably making everything up. more research needed

[unfamiliar-ghostly-girl]

Endogenic systems can have trauma. Endogenic systems can have those scary distressing symptoms of trauma. Endogenic systems can be unhappy with their systems. Endogenics can wish they weren't plural. Endogenics can have flashbacks and amnesia. Endogenics can have headmates who hate them and do bad shit.

Endogenics. Can. Be. Traumatised. Pretending like every single endogenic would clutch their pearls at "real traumatised people" is fakeclaiming and invalidating peoples trauma.

[ellipse-society]

So I think there may be some misconception about what can be considered ableism. The disorder itself doesn't need to be mentioned for what someone says to be ableist. For example with DID there are many misconceptions that people use to be ableist(cw fakeclaiming). For example it's just demonic possession, it's just a trend you are copying from social media, or it's iatrogenic(your doctor convinced you you have it). Any of those misconceptions can be used against you without the disorder being mentioned and still be ableism. If it is a common misconception about a disorder that is similar to what you are talking about experiencing there is a good chance that the way the person came to that conclusion is by thinking about the disorder making it still ableism.

"you're faking your disability for attention"

why would I spend a bunch of money on mobility aids just for attention?

I could spend that money on an onlyfans model and get much more attention.

[the-100-percent]

Guess what (not out yet) endo system had to hold back tears when their mom was talking about how endos aren't real! 🤫🧏🎉🥰

Oh oh! And guess what? She kept bringing up "Alastor" as a sign they are faking being a system! And guess who was co-fronting with me when this was happening? 🥳🥳

Breaks my heart to see anti-endo kids

Like

Most of the time, it's probably a case of "I'm suffering, and can only find peace in suffering, and anyone who says they're not suffering while having xyz must be faking/wrong/ect"

There's so much you guys don't know yet

It gets better, it really does

Closing your mind and heart off to others; you're only hurting yourself

There's more to systemhood and plurality than suffering

There's more to systemhood and plurality than "trauma olympics" and disorders

You deserve peace, community, and safety

I'm sorry you're so full of hurt that you can't accept plurals/systems that aren't the same as you, that you hate what you feel you can't have

I genuinely wish you all well; that you find healing in whatever form you need

- An endo-safe disordered traumagenic system

[psychotic-system-culture-is]

Psychotic System Culture is...

Not undergoing a whole lot of initial denial about your systemhood until the psychosis "started", after which you doubt everything going on in your head, including your headmates

Bonus points for being a very distinct, very disordered system who is incapable of masking, and thus being very obviously "real"...

We already accepted plurality soon after syscovery, we do not need to go backwards into internalized self-fakeclaiming and imposter syndrome!

[cccat-in-a-meat-sack]

Guys, apparently if you use neopronouns and you're a system you're faking )):

Sorry to be the one to inform you )):

as a society can we stop making mental illness/neurodivergency trendy and romanticized. i know more mf who faked claim than ppl who actually had the condition. at the end it just makes the people who are diagnosed with the condition the butt of the joke or look disingenuous.

ALSO IF I MAY be real for a sec!!! it’s because of the “destigmatizing XYZ 🥺” tiktoks and self diagnosing that make this happen, i know they are good intent and not all people have resources but its one thing to be concerned about your mental health and another to claim to have a disorder that you haven’t been diagnosed with!

autism, ADHD, schizophrenia, BPD, bipolar disorder, psychosis, OCD have all became quirks than serious debilitating condition and as someone with ADHD and psychotic depression IM SICK OF ITTTT, it’s different with things like depression and anxiety bc you experience that at least once in your life but it’s getting out of hand
