Self Diagnosis & Personality

People often do claim that people working with in the medical field can be wrong and wrongly diagnosis someone, which is definitely true but the same would apply to someone self-diagnosing way more than someone professionally diagnosing a person because there are some symptoms and traits that aren't even talked about online with many disorders. You also shouldn't go off / use someone's own experience with a disorder to "back up" your "self-diagnosis" claim when you also claim everyone experiences a disorder differently when that's also not really the case to some extent a disorder is classified as a disorder when a majority of people experience relatively the same symptoms or traits (and have some form of brain shrinkage or damage), and in this case from a somewhat similar experience childhood trauma. Alternative Identities aren't even the whole point of this disorder and if you don't experience dissociation you don't have this disorder, same applies to someone claiming to have other specified dissociative disorder. It still has dissociation in the name you will experience some form of dissociation or it wouldn't be classified as a dissociative disorder.

I've noticed multiple if not all of the people on this game claiming to have a dissociative disorder act the exact same, none of their switches or alters feel genuine. The only actual difference between their alters are their gender, age , and name. I don't think people claiming to have this disorder quite understand that gender and age don't change a personality or make one. "Personality refers to the enduring characteristics and behavior that comprise a person's unique adjustment to life, including major traits, interests, drives, values, self-concept, abilities, and emotional patterns." Yeah, I get that it's not a personality disorder but identities are still required to have different personalities to be considered actual "different" identities, and a majority of these peoples alters act the exact same personality wise.

There are "Social Identities" but that's not really what professionals mean when talking about an identity. "These categorizations are often assigned to us or something we are born into. Examples of social identity include: race, ethnicity, gender, sex, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, age, religion/religious beliefs, national origin, and emotional, developmental disabilities and abilities." this is something you'd see in a bio about someone not a generalized personality.
