I have a teen other that is very defensive about whether she is real or not. She doesn't like to hear anyone say she's not real.
I always wonder if any of them are real, but i have serious denial feelings.
My T says the denial is coming from a part that's job is to not believe, and convince others not to believe. especaily me. She says my others are pretty easy to pick out, and tell from me. But I don't know about that.

I think asking questions about their age, gender, or day are fine. I don't think that is the issue for me. I seems that some of my alters are only familiar with their task and become confused trying to understand questions about things out side their task. The confusion is disturbing to them and causes them to feel unreal. Maybe that is a good thing. I don't know. They are real but they are only a part of me. I don't think they know that. Maybe if they become aware of others they might have more choices. But in the moment all they feel is confusion.
