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

Putting bias aside, this comes across more reactive than planned so the response doesn’t surprise me Hard to say where this lands long term.

At this point, the main issue seems to be how this is handled and that friction is hard to ignore That’s what changes the context. Feels like there’s more coming here. That’s the impression it gives me.

Without overthinking it, this depends heavily on what happens next and that’s where people will push back That’s what makes this interesting. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.

From a neutral view, the timing matters more than people admit which makes the reaction pretty predictable Feels like an opening move, not an ending.

the logic is there, but the execution is uneven and that’s why opinions are all over the place That’s what changes the context. Curious how this plays out.

Without overthinking it, the idea isn’t bad, but the delivery is doing damage and that’s why this won’t land the same for everyone We’ll see how people react over time. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.
