bros claiming new fictives within hours of starting a new show 😭

(warning long rant) I've had a mutual on Snapchat for a few years & always thought they were cool & it was fun to watch their stories or interact with them. recently they posted about starting to date someone who, I assume, is a professionally diagnosed DID system. my mutual would post the names of all their partners alters who are in the relationship & give "special mentions" to other alters who weren't part of their relationship. they have a very large following & I found it a bit odd as I've never had a friend with OSDD/DID who wanted all their alters posted to their partners story, especially to thousands of strangers, but to each their own. then things got more suspicious as they posted about realizing they are "a fictionkin" because their partner thinks my mutual "fits the criteria for OSDD"

my snap mutual posted about how its very important to not self diagnose & was not claiming to be a system because she felt that would be harmful (hence why i think their partner was probably diagnosed by a doctor).

then within a week they were posting "tours" of their simply plural. saying they have OSDD & all 88 of their alters are favorite characters from games, tv, books, etc along with an OC they created. all organized by what piece of media they're from & what "type" of alter. they started signing off snap posts with different characters & saying "if I need to be mean to someone I just let [xyz character] do it". they started using we/us/our language.

they started saying how self diagnoses is valid if you do enough research. come to find out they deleted Google & safari off their phone "per doctor's orders" because it was "feeding too much anxiety" but social media is fine? right..

i took a risk & asked how they were doing all their research with out the internet. the answer? "our GF does the research for us" 😭 but then turned around & said there's basically no research done on DID/OSDD which is just a flat out lie.

some other cringe moments were when they started watching the apothecary diaries & within a few HOURS had an "alter" of the main character (maomao) who was "fronting until the body feels better" because they had an upset tummy. someone tried to comment once & tell them it's not really possible for alters to happen like that. my mutual screenshotted their comment & posted a whole bunch about "fake claimers f off"

they also say "DNI willows & endos" which is super ironic. another time they said "pinkie pie is fronting" because they were wrapping gifts for their partners birthday & within an hour they "switched" to fluttershy because they got anxious & cuddled with their puppy. all while coherently live updating with screenshots of simply and many many MANY snap posts.

they never talks about having amnesia which makes me think they simply don't experience it because they posts practically everything going on in their life. they will also "switch" mid conversation or mid posting but somehow manages to never get confused or disoriented or miss a beat.

Anyway if you got this far so thank you for reading, I mostly just needed to get this frustration off my chest & hopefully someone can tell me I'm not crazy for thinking this person is faking being a system 😭😭
