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

Reaction: literally 1984
