Why

[ejbrandy]

Why do u people want this? D.I.D. is something I have to control 24 7 , it's something I would definitely not try to get. I don't understand.

Tulpamancy/intentional plurality is not disorderly, and it does not lead to DID in people who didn't have it already. We don't experience memory blackouts or unintentional force/trigger-switching, everything is consensual and intentional, more or less. It's not always recommendable to people with DID or other mental disorders as I mentioned in your other thread, because the experience may not be as controllable and may open you up to stressful imagined situations via getting you to be attached to uncontrollable imagination, which won't happen to healthy-minded people.

 

As for the actual why - just to have mental companions, it's usually that simple. Not everyone cares for such a thing, but obviously the members here all do. It's nice to always have someone you can talk to who understands you perfectly, who can offer support or just companionship when you're otherwise alone IRL. But you need to be able to engage with the practice healthily and maturely, or it can be un-healthy, which is one of the reasons it's not for everyone.
