i've definitely been blatantly plural this past year, at least in the form of a discussion with myself. i think that everyone is to a degree, it's the whole Carl Jung persona psychology thing... but rather, instead of external personas, for communicating with others and codeswitching accordingly (talking to grandma vs. talking to your girlfriend), headmates are like internal personas, for making more sense with your internal monologues...

not to say that plurality is a choice (i'm not in control of my mind), but it's definitely a mindset that can be leaned into, that you can condition yourself into maintaining. so it makes sense to see plurality be on an upwards trend these past few years, as people tend to adopt the survival mechanisms of their peers...

even if plurality was a choice, i think it's the right choice for many. so if you're seeing plural people more and more, and asking yourself if you are too, you are. you're inherently plural by having a soul... but it's ultimately up to you if leaning into it will help make life easier

it's been a while since the last post

my brain is a mess i don't know how to explain

it's clear something is not right but i haven't yet reached a conclusion

while previously i thought that core me was mute i've realized he isn't mute, it's just that i left him mute for a long time after i introduced the "main me" to try and "fix" him. in actuality, core me is extremely emotionally sensitive, paranoid and has a lot of traits that make him complicated to deal with, yet he's very emotive and can be genuinely extremely happy in ways i didn't think were possible for a long long time. so i created a translation layer in my brain that filters some things, re-writes others, tries to repress some stuff, and does a lot of mumbo jumbo to try and ease communication, to make sense of myself and prevent more damage.

now the translation layer and the core, they co-habit depending on the situation.

i can't call myself plural but there is...something going on. i'm not sure it's a mindset i should lean into, i'm not sure if the end result will be positive or negative or neutral. for now i'm just waiting to see more potential answers in the future
