we were talking to our clinician about our system, and he said “DID is usually self diagnosable” and i joked like you’re gonna get cancelled. the system community crumbles as a licensed therapist supports system self diagnosis.

There’s two ways we fake claim ourselves and I’m curious to see if other people do the same.
The first way is the most obvious, convincing ourself that we’re not a system, that our alters are made up and that we don’t have DID.
The second way is being convinced we have DID but that our Alters are all made up and we don’t have information about the actual alters of our system. (Ex. In our system we have Aspen James and Salem, if these alters were just made up, but there are alters in our system that are undiscovered and not made up.)
I don’t know if anyone else feels the same way as the second one, but it’s a weird thing to think about.

We want to know if anybody else has a very varied system in like hypersexuality to asexuality. Some of our alters are hypersexual while others are sex repulsed, It’s weird cause of how much it can affect the body when alters are fronting or even close to front.

Results are in because I messed up and forgot to change the length of some of the polls!
Starting with my first poll.
Plural Tags
There were 134 votes on the plural tags poll. Of those votes
81.4% were pro-endo
13.5% were endo-neutral
5.2% were anti-endo
Next up were system tags and dissociation tags. There were a total of 32 votes on this poll and of those votes
46.9% were endo-neutral
28.1% were anti-endo
25% were pro-endo
That one was pretty divided. Which I didn't expect for these next two but I can be wrong. Next up we've got DID/OSDD tags. There were 48 votes on this poll and of those votes
45.9% were anti-endo
41.7% were endo-neutral
12.5% were pro-endo
Wow. I was not expecting that divide to be so close. I watched the poll and for a while anti-endo and endo-neutral were tied for first. Now our final poll was Endo tags. There was a total of 30 votes on this poll and of those votes
83.3% were pro-endo
10% were anti-endo
6.7% were endo-neutral
Of the 244 votes we received across all the polls
148 votes (61%) were pro-endo
41 votes (17%) were anti endo
55 votes (22%) were endo-neutral
Now to my next segment of breakdown: Ages
Of the 148 votes that were pro-endo
52 votes (35%) were minors
96 votes (65%) were adults
Of the 41 anti-endo votes
16 votes (39%) were minors
25 votes (61%) were adults
Of the 55 endo-neutral votes
15 votes (27%) were minors
40 votes (73%) were adults
Of all the 244 votes received
83 votes (34%) were minor
161 votes (66%) were adults

I often wonder if any other systems out there struggle with lying.
Not about being a system but just with lying in general. I feel most would answer “no” for fear of ending up on r/fakedisodercringe
We struggle with lying a lot, it’s a protective thing. Or it was when it started. Over time we just couldn’t stop. For the most part now we do better with it. But it took a lot of help from professionals and things like that.
Just thoughts I’m having while stuck here.
