I think it's human nature. I get migraines. I remember telling a friend i wasnt going out because i had a migraine. She said," oh come on. I have a headache too. Let's go to the movies." Anyone who gets migraines knows this was insulting. People just cant imagine / fathom and maybe dont want to imagine that someonw can have experiences outside of their own. They want to relate and understand and instead of trying on your shoes will imagine you are in theirs to feel better. I cant even understand my own mind so i KNOW i cant understand anyone else's.
Of course there is a spectrum for dissociating and ego states. Any moron knows that. Dissociating could be anything from a normal xdaydream to forgetting decades of your life. Of course all people have some degree of ego states . Normal adults will still feel younger sometimes when visiting home for example or put on a facade for a job interview. I would ask the T that told you they had
ego states too what his/her point was? Is as pointless as saying , "i feel sad sometimes too, " to someone with clinical depression.
Or someone with a broken pinkie bragging to someone with a broken neck, " we both had broken bones and i healed faster, what's wrong with you? You dont see me complaining."
