CMV: 99% (at least) of the people claiming to have DID online are faking it.

EDIT: BY DID I mean dissociative identity disorder.
This is stuff drives me absolutely bananas to see. Absolutely everything I hear from these people about their experience is so ridiculous. All of it is so conveniently fun and quirky. There is absolutely no literature or documented anything about DID working the way these people claim it does until about 2 or 3 years ago I think. It just didn't exist. Nobody had a "system of alters" Nobody had hazbin hotel OC's living inside of their head. There was no plural systems. The actual literature says that only like 6% of people with DID are aware of their "switches" in any capacity. The "alters" do not typically have different names, there are not 38 of them, they do not fit into neat little writing projects. There was no "innerworld" or "Littles" or anything. Now all of the sudden there are like 1000s of people self diagnosing themselves for attention. I think, especially when adults do it, it's just sad and pathetic.
Riddle me this batman, why do I never hear about someone with DID who does anything other than spend every second of their lives in some combination of being on discord, playing video games and watching anime, tik tok, or

What gets one clocked as shy or possibly neurodivergent?

Usually when socializing I tried to be friendly and outgoing. A lot of people would say “oh you seem shy”.
I’m confused as to why. At times I don’t know what to say or talk to people about tho.
How do I prevent this?

Am I weird for not wanting to drink until I turn 21?

Where I (20) live, it’s illegal to drink or smoke if you’re under 21, and I’m choosing to follow this law. But almost all of my friends and family members have drank or smoked while underage and I feel kind of like a black sheep. Everyone seems to respect my wishes, although when my dad offers me a sip of alcohol and I say no, he’s like “c’mon! you only have a couple more months until you’re 21”.
Am I “different” for not wanting to participate in underage drinking or smoking?

I have a good life, but I am lonely and feel empty

I am in my early 20s, I have always been a loner and have only had a few true friends in my life.
I dropped out of college and started working very early on at a medium-sized startup in a big city, 100 km from home. I worked 10-12 hours a day, but because I had no time for anything else and lived only for work, I was actually happy. I didn't think about anything else and didn't have time to deal with relationships and similar things. However, it was a rather toxic environment, and a few weeks ago, after more than two years, I decided to leave.
Now I work in a very well-paid position in a smaller corporation, I have much more money than before, and most importantly, I now have much more time, or rather too much time. My roommate and I recently moved into a great new apartment, and overall, I'm doing well, better than 95% of the people I know to be honest. I know I should be happy, I have independence, I'm doing well, but inside I feel empty.
I have some friends in this city, but they're not particularly close relationships. I've never been in a serious relationship, I don't even know how to get one, dating apps don't work and I find them a waste of time and morale, I can't meet peop
