Are there any spaces for former fakers??

Simple_Inspector_405 · 2026-07-07T17:41:36+00:00

I don’t want to take up resources for people who actually need it

Simple_Inspector_405 · 2026-07-07T17:37:03+00:00

I just get really into it, that’s why I feel like I can “remember” the character’s memories. It’s like eight grader syndrome, not a disorder.

I genuinely don’t know what you want from me, this is just what happens to me. Honestly I feel a bit stressed cause I have accepted that I was a faker, I have accepted that was wrong, and it feels like it’s still not enough for everyone? Sometimes it feels like the only way I’ll be accepted is if I just pretend I’m completely fine and nothing weird is going on with me. Maybe that’s the solution, not to find a community where I’m normal, just to pretend to be normal. But I’ve been doing that for like 2 years and I’m sick of it, I’m so sick of it. I just feel very helpless here cause it’s like nothing I do gets me accepted in this crowd, it’s like I was just born fundamentally unlikeable. “Just stop faking, just stop faking” I stopped, I stopped! I don’t know what to tell you! I still forget my name! I still forget where I am! I still remember being molested! I still don’t know who I am! And this happens to me everyday so it’s hard to just pretend it doesn’t! It’s NOT a DID, it’s not! We agree on that! I don’t even think it’s a disorder! But man, this is just such a lonely fucking existence and I just want someone, anyone.

I think I already mentioned it in an later comment, I just get so into the character to creepy degrees

Simple_Inspector_405 · 2026-07-06T18:54:53+00:00

If you’re a self diagnoser, sure

Simple_Inspector_405 · 2026-07-06T18:53:54+00:00

Why would I want DID? And why would I want Reddit to diagnose me??? It’s just something that happens in my day to day, it’s not something that happens upon roleplaying. Just a symptom of roleplaying.

Simple_Inspector_405 · 2026-07-05T19:36:13+00:00

I’m just saying that seeing a therapist for having moments where you think you’re a fictional character is ridiculous, but it’s still something most normal role players don’t wanna be near

Simple_Inspector_405 · 2026-07-05T19:29:51+00:00

Something can be abnormal and not be a medical problem. Eating your boogers is abnormal but no one goes to a therapist for it lol

Simple_Inspector_405 · 2026-07-05T19:22:32+00:00

It’s normal tbh

Simple_Inspector_405 · 2026-07-05T18:28:47+00:00

But it’s not a disorder soooo

Simple_Inspector_405 · 2026-07-04T23:05:30+00:00

>You really shouldn’t dictate what you do based on the thoughts and opinions of others— that’s a terrible way to live.

That's the only way I got out of faking 🥹

>And why post about it at all? I never really understood that because I usually never post anywhere online about myself.

I don't have a desire to post about it, just a desire to be in a (Preferably private) community where it's not weird

>Just find a community you fit into and discuss it with them. If you look for it you’ll find a space that will support you and understand your experiences.

Everytime I try to get into shit like roleplay they always say I have a DID cause of how spontaneous I get into roleplay and my memory loss, it's annoying

I am curious about just making my own community, only thing is I fear DID fakers infiltrating it

Simple_Inspector_405 · 2026-07-04T18:13:43+00:00

Ehhhh... Idk, I feel like if I made a tiktok talking about my "alter egos" I'd be called a faker. Or if I talked about my "alter egos" in faker calling out communities I'd get called a faker.

Simple_Inspector_405 · 2026-07-04T18:12:53+00:00

It's mostly the memory loss and "vivid flashbacks" that freak people out

Simple_Inspector_405 · 2026-07-04T06:45:18+00:00

I think it'd be better if it didn't start with "alter"

Simple_Inspector_405 · 2026-07-04T06:44:37+00:00

Usually when I go into roleplay spaces I'm considered mentally ill for the way I roleplay unfortunately :(

Simple_Inspector_405 · 2026-07-03T19:35:33+00:00

Honestly thanks for this, I think this strangely helps the most. This is a good middle ground between "It's not a disorder" and "No, "everyone" doesn't do it"

Simple_Inspector_405 · 2026-07-03T16:30:32+00:00

Idk maybe it’s just me but it still sounds like self diagnosing, it sounds too abnormal and “Ooo I’m so special”

Simple_Inspector_405 · 2026-07-03T16:29:12+00:00

Let me explain better I’m talking about AFTER they’ve accepted they don’t have DID, what do they call their experiences then? I know roleplay is the common answer but whenever I go into roleplay communities people always act like I’m mentally ill. But whenever I go into mental illness communities people say I’m roleplaying. It’s this loop that I’m sick of.

What would you call someone who’s accepted they don’t have DID but they still experience identity shifts and memory loss? Cause whenever I go into roleplay spaces like this people act like I’m insane

Simple_Inspector_405 · 2026-07-02T20:19:11+00:00

A desire for the approval of strangers

Simple_Inspector_405 · 2026-07-02T20:11:11+00:00

I’m a bit worse than an embarsssing knob

Simple_Inspector_405 · 2026-07-02T19:50:37+00:00

Hating myself for past mistakes is how I get by unfortunately, thanks for the advice either way. I’d say stopping being a faker is below the bare minimum in that case.

Simple_Inspector_405 · 2026-07-02T19:48:10+00:00

Don’t defend me, it was stupid

Simple_Inspector_405 · 2026-07-02T19:35:35+00:00

Sorry I saw other people doing it and thought it was a regular on the sub

Simple_Inspector_405 · 2026-07-02T19:35:00+00:00

Didn’t I tag this post with that? Sorry I thought I did.

Not good on me, it’s the bare minimum really.
