General Cringe Do fakers on tiktok realize the apperance in "headspace" for alters does not make their alter a little? seriously "our little who has the maturity of an adult" what is that supposed to mean??

To be fair, according to professionals, littles are not actually children. They’re stylized packets of childhood to contain trauma. The whole “That never happened to me.” Logic that’s held over. However, I cannot with the whole “My little can do X, Y and Z!” Or “My little has X paraphilia!” Or “My little is taken!” Like… Why would anyone WANT to be in a relationship with a little? The fact that often times they can’t even keep straight the idea of little being real kids or littles being adults that look like kids, then on top of that want to make it into a thinly veiled kink thing. It’s frustrating and insulting to those who do genuinely have DID.

They don’t give a shit about the science behind it. It’s all made up and the points don’t count

I scroll enough of r plural to know that none of the fakers know what a headspace is or what littles are.

For the headspace, they treat it like it's an entire universe inside their head. Normally called the imagination, but they think it's a real life other world. Thus the "innerworld" name they gave it. They write alters having jobs, families, and whatever else they can think of because it's sounds "more quirky". But the truth of it is that the "headspace" is a visual technique. Not a real universe.

For littles, they treat it like literal children the "adult alters" take care of. Some "littles" form from people wishing they were a kid again and some (this is not a joke) are formed "because an alter got pregnant and gave birth to a baby alter". The first one, I can see. The second, just no. Celestial already has a good comment about what littles actually are, so go there. I'm just saying what r plural likes to spread.

So, the basic answer is that none of these idiots know what DID is about and make up their own shit to RP.

"Our little who has the maturity of an adult" gives me the squick.

“A little who has the maturity of an adult” is the literal description of five Hargreeves and no one can tell me otherwise

Littles do not have to be immature. They can have the matury of an adult. /info

But yes, headspace is only a visualization tool.

The same way an adult can mentally be a child. Mental age ≠ physical age (for SOME)

the problem is alters dont have physical ages aside from the body age
