i think that's where all the hate on endos comes from. «they claim to be suffering like we do» and shit... but being plural doesn't mean to suffer. it means having multiple people in your head and that's it.
i think people don't quite understand that systemhood is not always about suffering only. being a system may genuinely help coping with stress and people may be in good relationships with their alters. not always, of course, but thinking about plurality as a curse only means to stigmatize it.
there CAN be happy life for systems and we should at least try to reach it. meow :]

I just ran into this on my feed, and I'm having trouble looking up the info, so maybe someone here could tell me (please?);
What are endogenic systems and traumagenic systems, in regards to mental illness (and maybe autism)?
//: can we jjust talk about anti-endos for a second?
//: it’s just like... imagine basically saying to someone, “you aren’t real” “ii don’t believe in your existence and you thinking you exist is harmful”
//: it feels hypocritical. it IS hypocritical. because thats what ssome closed-minded singlets say to traumagenics too, surely
//: just because we didn’t form from trauma doesn’t mean we didn’t form at all.
//: and so what? wwe’re just existing. we aren’t hurting anyone.
//: we understand why anti-endos believe what they do about us, and why they believe us eexisting is harmful to them, but it still isn’t right and it’s still hypocritical. y’know?
disclaimer: im not a fan of endogenic systems, i dont believe you can be a system and not have trauma but i have questions for endogenic systems:
for endogenics or ppl that call themselves mixed origin because some alters are formed without trauma; you are aware that thats called an aparent normal part and thats a sign of trauma correct? like everything on the dissociation spectrum has it so you have to have at least one anp
how do you even know where one alter ends and another begins? youd have to dissociate to have the amnesia barriers seperating your parts and to do that means youd need like a huge stresser in your life which would be the caus of you being plural which would then make you traumagenic so like how does that even work?
also does anyone have actual trustworthy resources on endogenic systems that supports their existance?
What if..a system had the squip as a fictive? That would suck.
