Personality shifting is the act of a system or headmate's personality shifting or changing.
Personality shifts can happen spontaneously or due to an attachment material changing, such as a profile picture or comfort object.
System Role[edit | edit source]
A personality shifter is a headmate that can change their personality at will, or shifts personalities to mirror the person they are interacting with. This headmate may also be a shapeshifter.
A headmate may be a personality shifter for many reasons, such as:
- Past or current trauma that needed the system to do this for survival.
- The body is neurodivergent and this role is needed to mask as neurotypical.
- Any other reason that isn't listed or mentioned.
History[edit | edit source]
This term was originally coined separately by Asteroid Kingdom and Faedom on separate pages.
Related Terms[edit | edit source]
A personality shifter may also be considered a mirror or masker.
Personality shifting can be similar to soma shifting, where a headmate's form in headspace is changed.
