Being a "I hate my hair touching my face and neck" guy in a system full of emos feels like

Small reminder that DID is often a covert disorder and overt DID is actually pretty rare. A person could go their whole life without knowing they have DID because that's the point. You do not need to know who you are all the time or who's fronting or need to feel like you're a faker because you act the same pretty much all the time. You do not need to act drastically different between your headmates to be valid.

fawn vs fight response

slight tw for abusive language

lilac and red often clash very harshly when it comes to the way they respond to trauma
