The Questions or Confusions I Have About DID and Systems:
And I don’t mean for any of these to come out rude or accusingly, I’m genuinely curious to how this all works
How do you realize you’re part of a system
How do you figure out who the new alters are
Why do the memory gaps happen
Just in general…how does the headspace work
If you can hear the people in your headspace, why isn’t it always easy to figure out who the alters are
Why does it sometimes take awhile to realize someone else was fronting
Why do alters relate on hyperfixations
Does someone have to front at least a certain amount of times or for so long to avoid fading
Why do some alters fade
How can alters that form after trauma be trauma holders, or in general what makes a specific alter a trauma holder
If an alter is a specific character or person why don’t their personalities always match to that person
Also if an alter is a specific person why wouldn’t they have the same knowledge or experience of that person - overall, what aspects of a person carry over to an alter for that alter to be considered that person?
