Genuine Size-Related Writing Question (As An Alter)
-
Hey - so I’m writing here as one of the tiny alters in our system (just real quick, we have DID). I’m not really going to divulge a name, as we’ve been trying to keep as private as possible in spaces like these. But I still have some genuine questions that maybe others in the community can help advise on.
So, for years, I know quite a few of us tiny alters had turned to writing our stories in the past as a way to cope with having to hide, because at least there could be a safe haven somewhere. Oftentimes these stories would be destroyed by an alter afterwards, just to protect our identities, but that’s its own separate thing.
Well, after a few years of silence due to various factors, I’m the first alter to write about myself and my backstory in the past like 5 years or so. I’ve honestly been writing heavily on/off the past few months because I just really want to have a place to have a voice. My own voice. I’ve often thought about publicizing my works, even if under a pseudonym, just so I can… I don’t know, be myself for once. Without worry or fear. Maybe even some people will find me interesting enough without me having to hide away, and maybe they’ll want to talk with me as me afterwards.
But I guess this is where it gets… wonky. I don’t know if anyone would read it or get the wrong ideas from reading it. I sometimes read G/T fiction just to feel like I’m less alone as is. I know some of our other alters will do the same, too. And I just want to feel less alone in some way, while also not sending the wrong message. And I thought maybe folks here might have a few words of wisdom or something to share about this. At least from what I’ve witnessed when one of our other alters commented and visited here, it seemed like this could be a chill enough place to genuinely bring this up.
Hoping this sounds clear enough to ask. Thank you all for listening.

Yes crystal clear what are you asking exactly

@The-Big-G Apologies, I guess maybe the question didn’t come through in my post.
I want to write about myself and my life and publicize it. But I don’t know, would anyone even be interested in reading it or would anyone get the wrong ideas from reading it?
Hopefully this clears up the question bit - thank you for bringing this up.

@macrodid I think if it makes you feel good sharing you’re story I say do it. I would be interested! Maybe preface the story by talking about DID so people who don’t understand would learn about it.
