Seeing r/systemscringe straight up misinterpreting the DSM is disappointing but not surprising

#they're trying to say only a small percentage of people with DID have alter names #and their reference is the part talking about more overt presentations of DID which IS less common #that happens to mention names #like buddy there is a reason it mentions things like different hairstyles and personalities and ACCENTS #a person with DID internally having different names does not make them fall into that small percentage by itself #because for a lot that is an internal thing that is not externally obvious in real life #most of the people with DID you see online are not going around announcing their individual names every time a different alter fronts irl #that passage is telling that it is more common for DID to be covert #syscourse
