@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.
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.
Oh wow. I feel like preference for us (us as in our DID system) shifts at a moment’s notice. Sometimes the preference is towards shrinking; other times, it’s towards giants.
Even more outer ideas we’ve gotten is when nobody knows who’s shrunk/tiny, and if the other side is actually giants in the world or not. Just to make things a tad more interesting/complex.
It’s been really interesting reading some of your responses on daydreaming and even hearing someone earlier mention about tulpas. Even aside from having DID (where many of our alters are tiny people, which you can imagine led to much confusion upon discovery), I’ve found myself fascinated with G/T fiction. Sometimes I find myself just enjoying curling up to a good G/T fiction story about a tiny person with a gentle giant, and kind of imagining myself as the tiny person with the gentle giant. Sometimes it just feels soothing and relaxing in and of itself.
I know for a while G/T fiction just sparked us getting new alters a lot, but within the past year it hasn’t, so it’s nice to just read it for a change. I know some of our alters not just imagine the scenarios but feel like they’ve lived through it, so they probably have a lot to say on that as well.
Hopefully this makes sense. Sorry if it sounds kind of confusing.
Thank you so much for the warm welcome! I really hope this site helps us accept ourselves more and feel more okay being ourselves. It’s difficult enough as is, so finding supportive communities helps a lot.
Thank you again 
Hello!
I guess this is the best place to post this. Username is macrodid. Our coming across macro communities is actually… very complicated, I would say, but I am hoping any lengthy introduction I share here helps to clarify. Feel free to sit down and read over a couple times, if it helps or if maybe you know someone else who’s been here before or maybe you have been here before.
So for years I knew about macro and about being both interested and into it. There was a lot of shame in it for me because (as I later discovered) it was more than just being… interested in it? For lack of a better word? I felt like this was a kink of mine, but somehow that didn’t seem to be the whole puzzle and was just a piece of it. There would be days, weeks, months, even years I lost time.
A few years ago we were diagnosed with DID (dissociative identity disorder, formerly known as multiple personality disorder) and it turned out we had a lot of tiny (as in a few inches tall) alters. A lot finally clicked in, realizing why I would feel the changes in our height and size and memory and everything before I blanked out. So reconciling that has been very difficult so far, and I think it has been even more confusing to realize I was still into G/T kinks as just… well… in a pleasurable way aside from our diagnosis and aside from our alters?
I feel I’ve come to a point where I’ve grown more comfortable with the fact we even have tiny alters, despite how confusing it has been for me. But I guess joining a community like this is just a way for me to genuinely start feeling comfortable having this interest as a kink, too. And if any of our other alters find this community helpful and healing for them, too—great!
I apologize if this all sounds super confusing, but I hope you all will accept me here even given this complex background. Thank you for reading this far if you have, and I hope you have a wonderful day!
