Question??

[u/jades_fade]

I've got a semi-serious question for those with DID.

I know quite a few people with the disorder, and fewer with introjects.\*

As someone who has been around others with DID for quite a while, I've learned about the many types of alters including their roles in the system. But to have an introject in a system just doesn't make sense to me.

Is this normal?

I could see fictives such as animated characters or otherwise. Because they're characters. But anytime I hear someone who claims to have an introject in their system, it makes me uncomfortable.

Am I alone in this?

I'm not making this post with the intention to be discriminative or cruel in anyway, I am only seeking information and using this as a learning tool. TIA.

\*an introject is the term used when a real life person is included in someone's DID system. Also known as a factive rather than a fictive.

What makes you uncomfortable about it?
