For context, I am Tea, and I am uncomfortable with any kind of dancing. I don't dance, and I can't dance. I am the stiffest person in any room. I love watching others dance, but I never do it myself- especially in front of others. Other things that I am not interested in are full face makeup, especially makeup that makes us look feminine. I am a bare face with just grunge black eyeliner kind of person. The most feminine I can get is putting on lightly tinted lip balm whose colour barely shows. I hate wearing revealing clothes to the extent that I only wear full sleeves and long ass pants at all times.

And then there is a part of "me" which loves dancing. And by dancing, I am talking about full-on vogue-ing and pole dancing and uhh twerking and really "extreme" (to me at least lol) forms of dancing like that. That part of "me" is also really into drag culture and really feels like being a drag queen is their true calling. That part of "me" loves makeup, but a really exaggerated kind of feminine makeup. If I personally were to do drag, I would only and only do drag king looks. (Drag kings are cool asf and they need more recognition fr). And lastly, that part of "me" wants to wear clothes that accentuate our body's curves and maybe even wear something that shows cleavage. I feel like that part of "me" would definitely buy push-up bras lmfao, feels weird to realise that since I only wear sports bras and am looking forward for the day I can buy my own binder.

So here is my dilemma: None of the other alters feel like this is a part of them, so ik this isn't their quality. It certainly isn't mine, even though I have my own fair share of interest in RuPaul's Drag Race. So what is it? Could it be a different alter? Or is it just another part of my own personality?

Let me know your thoughts!

Thanks for starting r/PDID! I have DID but I’m excited to learn more about this related condition.

Hello everybody!

If you want to introduce yourself to the other users of r/pdid, feel free to leave a comment to tell about yourself or your system :')

Kindly refrain from telling your bodily age if you are physically under 18.

Hi there! Welcome to r/pdid .

This is a space for people with P-DID and related dissociative experiences to talk about trauma and dissociation. While this community is centered on P-DID, those from other plural/DID/OSDD spaces are welcome here as well.

Before you post, please read through the following:

If you’re looking for terminology definitions, we recommend the excellent r/DID FAQ. There are also a bunch of general questions people have, so please check here to see if your answer is here.

Make sure you read our rules! We ask that you:

• Follow good redditquette (remember the human)
• Keep your posts related to trauma and dissociation
• Criticise the idea, not the individual
• Apply trigger warnings when necessary (you can choose the trigger warning flair and edit it to do this)
• Avoid discussions about faking

What can I post here?

While we are primarily a support subreddit, we welcome any discussion about P-DID and dissociative disorders. Feel free to post your successes too!

That being said, we do request you avoid posting about these topics (subject to change):

• “Syscourse”, or community discourse. This includes discussions about (well-known) members of the community. Referencing posts/videos from others is totally fine and encouraged; however, discussion about their actual systems is not.
• Introductions - we have an introductions thread here.
• Asking about other people’s triggers.

Remember that everything you post here is public, and there are malicious people online. Only post what you are comfortable with, and do not give anyone private details. If someone is asking you for these details, send us a modmail about this.

Furthermore, this subreddit is aimed for systems and their close ones. If you want to ask about P-DID in general, r/AskDID would be more suitable.

With all that said, we hope you enjoy your time here!
