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.
