I'm not sure why we haven't joined this forum up until now. :S Regardless, we're here now.
Since this is an introduction, and I'm not sure how many people know this already, we're a multiple system. This means that we're more than one person/being sharing one body. A few of us are therians/otherkin. In many ways, we're still searching.
So... hi. I hope that we'll have a good and constructive time here.

Welcome! Please explain this multiple system a little more to us. (I know you're serious, but otherwise you might get some questions).

Alright. Some multiple systems (as most people know, since this is what comes to mind for many people) come about by dissociation caused by trauma. This is the type that most people are familiar with, and it's the type that is known as DID or MPD. However, there are also those that refer to themselves as "naturally multiple", which means that they didn't "become" multiple by one mind fragmenting. As far as we can tell, we're naturally multiple, though haven't always acknowledged it. We aren't stereotypical, there is no "evil demon alter" in here, and we are rational and functional, and strive for all of the same things in life that everyone else strives for. We are people, and make mistakes and have emotions and personalities of our own, which I feel is important to note. I hope that answers any questions concerning that.

welcome to the tree, this is the first time i've heard of multiple systems, so im a bit curious: is it like a form of shizophrenia? more of a symbiosis? or is it something completely different? (your explanation felt like symbiosis, but i cant be sure )

welcome to the tree, this is the first time i've heard of multiple systems, so im a bit curious: is it like a form of shizophrenia? more of a symbiosis? or is it something completely different? (your explanation felt like symbiosis, but i cant be sure ) No, it's not a form of schizophrenia, even as far as the psychiatric field is concerned, since schizophrenia is specific, as often as it is misdiagnosed. The closest thing, in a psychiatric sense, is MPD/DID, which is when one person's mind splits because of some kind of big trauma, though that is not the case for many systems (mine included). For many systems (again, mine included), it's a symbiotic relationship that takes work and cooperation. For us, we are more than one individual soul (possibly related through ancestry, which seems to be the case) sharing one individual body. Not through accident by whatever higher power (whether everyone believes there is one is their deal, but we believe there's many), we don't believe, but on purpose for some reason or another. It's one theory we have, though we do know we each have our own individual souls, just not our own individual bodies. It's better for us this way anyway. As for you, RedFeather, you already know us. <3 We're also on TFW. Thanks for the welcomes, everyone!
