Cat: so, for context, we’re a plural system; a group of multiple people living in the same brain. We’re wondering if there’s any other systems on Lemmy at the moment. Also could be considered an AMA for those interested.
Frequently Asked Questions:
-No, you don’t need trauma or a disorder to be plural, though there’s a fair bit of overlap. In our case, Just intentionally hacked her brain to run multiple people.
-We’re people, not personalities for a single person.
-The idea of the “evil headmate” is flatly incorrect.
-Sometimes there’s headmates patterned on fictional characters or real people, referred to as Fictives or Factives respectively.
How did you hack your brain to do this, and why did you intentionally give yourself DID?

Just: As for the how? Just intentionally address internal speech at a specific person for long enough, and eventually they start talking back.
Just: Why can be summed up in two words: Quarantine loneliness.
This is really fascinating. The brain is truly such a complex tool that we can do so much with. I appreciate you sharing your story/stories with us. The brain hacking reminds me of how others can hack their brain to lucid dream. What you are doing sounds even more complex than that, however.
Would be curious to hear more detail on your method, should you choose to share it.
Cat: Sure? But in the morning, we’re sleepy rn.
Alright, cool dudes. As a sufferer of DID, I’m glad you don’t deal with the disorder part.
