Nowadays, a lot of people have heard about Dissociative Identity Disorder, but even though that's the case, most people still don't seem to actually understand what this condition is other than "it's when you got multiple personalities". DID is so much more complex than "having multiple people in one body", and I'd love if more folks knew about this!

There's already too many people trying to educate on what DID is without having the credentials to do so, so I will instead refer to other educators for anyone interested in learning more about DID. For this, I highly recommend checking out did-research.org or The CTAD Clinic on youtube! Both of these resources are made by specialists in complex trauma and dissociation and are communicated in a way that is fairly easy to understand

Social credibility is bullshit anyway, I'd rather be friends with someone who has a weird hobby, than be friends with someone I have to walk on eggshells around.

So you need to hear that it's okay to be weird and it's okay for others to be weird, and something uncomfortable isn't a moral failing on their part.

Does going along with an oppressor's perspective make you feel better about yourself? Or did you never actually have guilt or empathy for your fellow neurodivergent friend? Why didn't this radicalize you? Why aren't you someone who cares about those who had their rights taken away from them just like you were?

I just.. don't understand how that can make someone hate people who go through the same thing everyday, to use isults and slurs against people who had faced or may end up facing the same things you did?

like . you , your whole life , have had to constantly examine yourself . scrutinize yourself . if you stop , you will lose people you love . they will see you as irredeemable , inhuman , unworthy . you NEED to be constantly judging everything you do in order to survive socially ( and surviving socially is the same as actually surviving btw , on multiple levels . mental health hinges on it , and often so does physical ).
