In Summary:
Rando: "Did you know you're FAKING MPD?"
Me: "Hey other personality did you know we're faking MPD?"
Other personality: "Know I didn't, I should go and inform the rest of the system."
@shel I have no idea but I am all for foxes made out of coffee.

"why yes im admitting to having a condition that most people are familiar with from movies like Split, where the character with MPD is portrayed as a /literal monster/ because I want SJW Tumblr Points" <------It sounds ridiculous because it is.

It's also worth stating, as always, /what would I gain from faking an incredibly stigmatized and misunderstood condition/? What could I /possibly/ gain from that, what could anyone gain from that?

But yeah. Co-consciousness is a thing. I don't get why that's so hard to understand lol

The idea of "faking" multiplicity in general is ridiculous and dumb. If someone says they have multiple people in their head, /it's because it's really obvious to them/. It's not something someone can get "confused" about.

I also love the idea that I'm "faking" MPD because I use "tumblr terms" like "fronting" or "headspace" or "alters". Uhhhhhh, hate to break it to the people accusing me of that but, those aren't Tumblr terms.
@rey Thank you!
And overcoming the emotional whiplash of that is honestly my biggest challenge at the moment.
it's actually been a pretty hard week the last week because well. I never expected to live long enough to graduate. I never expected to overcome all the stuff I've had to overcome just to get to this point.
What some assholes on the internet have been trying to do since 2014:
Destroy my life.

Got a business degree
Consulted with major tech companies
Served on the board of two nonprofits
Overcome trauma and disabiity
Transitioned
Found love
Hmmm. Sure sounds like I made better use of the last four years.
(Things I love about this platform. I won't get some jerk in the comments going "but have you considered you're faking it for attention?")
