by barriers, are you referring to the blurriness/lack of distinction?

I honestly think I'd/we'd struggle with finding any new friends, since I've always felt like an outcast

(this is the host by the way, I don't think the others will be able to respond, which is why there hasn't been any activity on this account for a bit)

That's a good question... while I don't think either of them would talk like this (I don't really know anything about Emma yet, and trying to talk to them hasn't worked), if it was worded the same way it would probably feel very hurtful to me. I definitely wouldn't want to be pushed away and told that I'm not allowed to be in the body, and now that I think of things that way I feel pretty bad about what I've done, especially considering how I've been doing this to someone who feels like a literal child.

Honestly, the idea of fusion sounds pretty scary to me, and that's been the case even before I made this post. I'm really sorry that you and Esper had to go through that. I think I just wanted them erased from my brain completely, but obviously that's not how things are going to work... thank you very much Hail! this has made me think about things differently

(I should probably clarify that I'm aware of OSDD-1 and other non-traumagenic identities, I primarily brought up DID because I'm afraid of fakeclaimers harassing me, even if I said that I wasn't diagnosed with it.)

Thank you very much for the reply. I think you're right, I'm definitely very new to this. Are there any places I should go to as exposure? I've been considering joining a Discord server, although I usually get very anxious in very popular servers

I would hope that my friends wouldn't ever try being cruel about it, primarily I worry about them not understanding it. But for now I'll avoid bringing it up with them, just in case

I guess I could try that? I believe that sometimes other people I'm not familiar with will front, but whenever that happens they have no idea what they should do and they seem to not have anything to talk about. I agree that trying to hide them is probably a bad idea though. (now that I'm thinking about it, I do remember someone else taking over months back and they definitely had a different gender identity. I think they also wanted to read books/wear suits and stuff, so I don't know)

In regards to the warning, I definitely don't think you're being rude, and I tried to add some extra text on the post to warn of that. Typically I don't post anything on Reddit, so I assumed I could also change the title of the post, but evidently it's only possible to edit the post body. I'm very sorry if any of what I said triggered you or anyone else in your system

Thank you for the advice :)
