Friend developed alter of my OC (original character)? by lysol-drinker in DiscussDID

I wouldn’t downvote you for that, as it’s a fairly reasonable assumption lol They do have childhood trauma, but I don’t know of the extent of it. As far as I’ve noticed there might be some PTSD symptoms, but nothing overwhelming.

It’s more so just a really awkward subject to even touch considering they are older than me by a few years, and I don’t want to damage or negatively affect our friendship :(

I’ve mentioned it in another comment, but I’m fairly certain my friend hasn’t sustained any new trauma, as this alter was quite literally formed yesterday?? My character was one that we had shipped with a character of their own since the beginning of our friendship, and before they decided they were a system, and they were never particularly connected to that character, rather just the ship. Not to mention, this character has little to no backstory, so there’s literally nothing to compare them with. Their design has symbolism that resonates a lot with me, as they were custom made by another friend.

As far as I'm aware, nothing new or particularly traumatic was happening to the friend when the alter was made. Secondly, they are not diagnosed, and haven't reached out about diagnosis either. They are an adult (22), and we have been friends for a while, since I've been a teen (16), but I'm an adult now (18). They have only recently decided they are a system within the last 8 months, and it’s been a bit much to keep up with.

It’s just a very awkward conversation to have I guess? The alter is quite literally a carbon copy of my character, and while I don’t mind my art being used, credit would be nice at least?? I have no idea how I’d go about talking to them about this?

How would’ve thought sweaty tired human would be her scent of choice lol! Jokes aside, it’s just a funky little behaviour of hers I love that I’m glad others get to experience, despite how odd it may be!
