Outertraumagenic or outergenic refers to a system, subsystem, headmate, or otherwise that is formed as a result of another person's trauma (outertrauma). Ways in which this could apply are:
- The trauma that another person has experienced caused the body enough stress, sadness, or similar, that it formed a system, subsystem, or headmate
- A system, subsystem, or headmate was formed in order to cope with the other person's trauma
- A system, subsystem, or headmate was formed due to the belief that it would take their trauma away or make it less prominent (this could be due to delusional experiences or neurodivergence, for example)
- The thought of the trauma another has experienced caused enough fear to form a system, subsystem, or headmate
- Another person who has experienced trauma lacked somebody to help with said trauma, causing a system, subsystem, or headmate to form with the intention of protecting that other person
History[edit | edit source]
The term outertraumagenic along with the term outertrauma was coined on August 18th, 2021, by thenelsonsystem#0156 on Discord. It was coined after a headmate of theirs with this origin came into contact with another headmate who had the same experience with no term to describe it.
Flag[edit | edit source]
The outertraumagenic flag has no confirmed meaning besides the extinguisher icon, which was inspired by the fire icon on the exotraumagenic flag. It resembles a system, subsystem, or headmate being formed to help cope with, 'extinguish', or in response to another's trauma.
