EMCEE SYS ROLE )

Emcee : a system role which describes an alter who is perpetually, or nearly so, always in front. The job of this alter is to live the body's life and handle daily struggles so the rest of the collective doesn't have to (they may have other roles as well, but usually this one is more dominant). Other members may front alongside the emcee, but the emcee still remains in primary control of the body. This does not necessarily mean that the emcee truly never leaves front, just that if they do, it is probably not for very long (ex: a few hours).

This is intended for systems who have infrequent switches & p-did systems but can be used by anyone it applies to—as this is just intended to be a more specific variant of "host."

Etymology: "emcee" is a word which means "master of ceremonies," and is a synonym of the word "host."

reminder to newly formed alters and people with DID/OSDD in general:

it's okay to not know who's fronting or who you are. you don't always have to know, and being blurry is an extremely common experience. it's literally called "dissociative identity disorder", and it's bound to happen. there's no pressure to immediately know who you are, and if you don't know, find out later. just get whatever you need to have done, done.

i see so many newly formed alters stress about whether or not they're an introject or brain made, and if they're an introject, "whats my source?". hey, you can figure that out all later. not to mention it doesn't necessarily matter if an alter is an introject or not, it's simply another alter here to help cope.

TLDR; you don't have to always know who's fronting, there should be no pressure to. do what's most important and figure it out later

Ha-ha! You switched!! Now you'll never find that very tiny item you lost earlier!!

Male alters be like: ho you live like this??? What??? this sucks-OW! OW OW OW! OH GOD NO THATS ENOUGH-

Femme alters: yep. Yeah I know. It sucks right?

I tried my best to capture the horror i felt.

well i guess that's fine

[amurderofshootingstxrs]

I despise r/systemcringe & r/fakedisordercringe because, as someone with OSDD, some of the so-called "gotcha" moments are just from stigmatised and uneducated bias from a singlet who has no clue the first thing about OSDDID.

if youre a system and you make fun of kids on r/systemcringe, kindly block me and go fuck yourself <3

seeing people my age talk about how scared they are of memory loss, which they only associate with old age, is so surreal to see as a 24 year old who has actively experienced memory loss for a long time now

there are causes for memory loss besides dementia and alzheimer’s, i hope y’all know that. dissociative disorders, trauma, brain injuries, thyroid problems, even just stress and lack of sleep can fuck up your ability to store, process, and access memory. and that’s just a few of the many causes i can think of off the top of my head right now.

please stop treating disabled people like some scary “other” that you might become only in the distant, decades-away future. we are your age, too. you may become one of us sooner than you know. stop acting like memory loss marks the end of a life, when so many of us have so much living left to do!

explaining cognitive empathy!

i am someone who does not feel empathy. not one bit, i am not experiencing a limited form of empathy nor am i experiencing a different kind. i do not experience empathy full stop. from age 17-20 i had self suspected aspd in myself due to this lack of empathy (amongst other things) but eventually realized it was just my autism.

but i view empathy as very important! this is where cognitive empathy comes in. cognitive empathy is something that is learnt and therefore available for literally anyone to use!!!

there are various ways to learn cognitive empathy, a few years ago i would cope by studying my friends - learning them inside and out, memorizing their emotions, how they dealt with things etc and then eventually i could apply that research to be empathetic towards them when it was required. this... wasn't great though, sure it did it's job well enough but it required a lot of time and effort and if i ever needed to show empathy to someone i hadn't studied i was pretty much fucked.

over time i developed a better technique that relied on relatability (and it definitely helped that i had gone through more shit in my personal life). if someone had an experience even remotely similar to something i had gone through i could apply those feelings i felt to their current situation and feel empathy towards them through a logical lens. it's still far from perfect and there are absolutely still situations i struggle with but it helps to have a strategy.

for example, situations that reliability cannot apply to - very hard to deal with as my method for the most part won't work for those situations. but if i can simplify it and relate the emotions themselves then usually that works fine. ie: "that client is really sad about experiencing a death in the family, i have never experienced a death in the family but i know what it's like to be overwhelmed by sadness I will do what i would need if i was overwhelmed by sadness"

if anyone ever tells you that cognitive empathy is not possible for you, they're lying. it's something that is entirely learnt and not even a tiny bit of it comes naturally to you. it may SEEM like it's something that comes naturally to me but you have to remember that i am 22 and i have lived 22 years without empathy. after a certain point of working towards cognitive empathy im going to have it memorized.

Microdosing polyamory by dating a system

[malformed-encephalon]

literally this.

Endogenic systems remind me of those people who like to be all organized, and then say things like "oh, haha, I'm so OCD!"

You're not OCD, you're just glorifying the parts of OCD you recognize and romanticize to fit into your personal aesthetic. You just want to be quirky and turn real mental disorders into a silly little personality trait.

You don't have a CDD, you're just glorifying the parts of OSDDID that you recognize and romanticize to fit into your personal aesthetic. You just want to be quirky and turn real mental disorders into a silly little personality trait.

"Oh, well duh, I don't actually have OCD. I just like to keep things neat and organized, and because people with OCD are super neat and stuff, I just say things like 'I'm so OCD.' It's an innocent comparison!"

"Oh, well duh, I don't actually have a dissociative disorder. I just feel like I have multiple personalities, and because systems also have multiple personalities and stuff, I just say that 'I'm a system' too. It's an innocent comparison!"

By continuing to say you have OCD like this, you're watering down the severity of the actual disorder. Less and less people take real OCD seriously because you, and others like you, are turning it into a "person who likes to be organized" disorder. You're taking a trait that you admire from people with a mental illness, and instead "rebranding" it to fit your idea of a person with OCD. You don't actually know the struggles they face. You are causing serious harm to the entire OCD community by making comments like these.

By continuing to say you're a system like this, you're watering down the severity of actual dissociative disorders. Less and less people take real systems seriously because you, and other endos like you, are turning it into the "having alters" disorder. You're taking a trait that you admire from people with a mental illness, and instead "rebranding" it to fit your idea of a person with CDD. You don't actually know the struggles they face. You are causing serious harm to the entire system community by saying you're a system.

"I already told you, I'm not actually saying I have OCD!

"We already told you, endos aren't claiming to be disordered!"

You're still calling it OCD. You're still saying you have it when you're just a perfectionist. Your experience is not the same.

You're still calling yourselves systems. You're still using system language. You're saying you have alters—that you have hosts, protectors, caretakers, gatekeepers (ISHs in general), introjects, persecutors, etcetera. You're using terms that were initially used to describe parts in disordered systems, when you're not disordered. Your experience is not the same.

I guarantee you that syscourse wouldn't exist if endos stopped calling themselves systems and tried shoving themselves into spaces they have no place in. If they stopped claiming that they were systems that just had a different origin, there wouldn't be so many pissed and hurt antis. I'm not personally even convinced that anything close to non-disordered multiplicity is possible (especially seeing there is no real, scientific proof of their existence whatsoever), but that isn't what this post is about.

I know this is Raven's blog but we share a brain, so I'm allowed to borrow their soapbox for a post or two.

being immortal and having DID must be crazy. yeah our boy Carlos hasn't fronted in 300 years and just woke up to the sound of Uptown Funk and started screaming
