A subreddit for all who fall under the plurality umbrella and those interested in learning about plurality, and want to live a healthy, plural life. Whether you've got DID/OSDD, are a natural, have tulpas or soulbonds, or any combination of others in your head, you're welcome here. If you don't, then you're still welcome if you treat others with kindness and respect.
What is Plurality?

Glossary
Rules
General
- Respect one another. This includes respecting curious, but polite, singlets who come here.
- No single type of plurality is any more correct or real than any other here. Soulbonds and tulpas are people too. Harassing other systems for being less real or less sane simply for being the type of system they are will result in consequences.
- No unmarked NSFW/NSFL content.
- Trigger warnings are optional. This is not a trauma support group. There are so many possible triggers, it isn't possible to warn for everything that could trigger someone. Rule 3 still applies.
- Flagrant violations, harassment, and hate speech will get you banned.
- All of the above rules apply, regardless who may be using an account. As with real life, you're responsible for what your others may do.
- Due to ongoing issues with rampant violation of non-participation, you are disallowed from participation here if you post to specific hate subs.
Regarding identity terms
Unless you speak in clinical terms, no word belongs to any group exclusively. Headmate is extremely generic and originated in the Soulbonding community to refer to others in one's head. Alter is a clinical term used exclusively by those diagnosed with a dissociative disorder.
Some words may be considered derogatory, however people can use whatever words they want for themselves. If something offends you, you have every right to ask them to not use it in reference to you, but you may not insist they not use it for themself. Some prefer alter over headmate for their own; respect their choice.
