ahh, understood... it was sort of a knee-jerk reaction, seeing how plenty of people say things like this and do so out of malice. thank you for the clarification. i'm not gonna ask for further details, since i only wanted to understand where you're coming from
i am a bit confused... what do you mean by your third paragraph? do you mean alters suddenly changing themselves, or do you mean switching in general? i don't see why a person can't switch between alters multiple times day, unless i'm misunderstanding
i do not think you completely understand DID much, which i do not mean in a rude way
but you can’t just switch on demand. that’s not how it works, and from what i’ve heard from the two people i’ve been friends with who were medically diagnosed with DID after years; switching isn’t a common thing that happens daily, and sometimes doesn’t even happen weekly.
so it can be a dead giveaway if someone decides to switch who’s fronting every other hour; or if they frequently have new alters developing 👍
but again, this is not out of malice, and i do not think it is in anyway okay to ambush anyone who misdiagnoses themselves with disorders or people who fake them, despite it being harmful at times
