symptom holders don't have to be constantly, miserably affected by their symptoms (same goes for trauma holders and memories)
protectors don't have to be constantly on edge and hostile
caretakers don't have to constantly be gentle and patient
persecutors don't have to constantly hate & hurt
socializers can be bad at or avoid socializing
we are complex, we are not always the way our roles are viewed, we are also not JUST our roles in a system, we are allowed to be contradictory.
