I’ve been questioning whether or not I am plural. I’m not sure if what I go through qualifies as being plural because I maintain my memories somewhat (things feel hazy after the fact but in the moment I remember) and I only feel out of control of my own body when I’m having a bad day. Every other day feels normal and I don’t hear anyone else in my head. I’m so confused and lost, do you think you could help explain what it means to be plural to me? Thanks in advance
Hey friend. I’m sorry you’re struggling right now. Every plural experience is different, but I hope I can give you some helpful advice here.
I can’t tell you if you’re plural or not– only the person or persons experiencing existence from your body and brain can do that.
What I can tell you is that it is a common plural experience to maintain hazy memories, continuous or disjointed, even when not in control or not full control of the body. It is a common experience to only feel completely out of control at certain times.
I can also tell you that having hazy or disjointed memories, and feelings like you are not in control of your body is not a common non-plural experience.
I don’t know that I can explain to you what being plural means any more than I can explain what being non-plural means. For every person and every plural system, it is different.
I would say that my best stab at defining what it means to be plural is to live in a relationship with many more people than simply your ‘self’ sharing your body and your life.
Please feel free to send a follow up ask if you would like!
