Do others of you find this true for your other parts?

thanks
short end of things thats basically what DID is...heres where you can find the diagnostic criteria about this..

http://www.dsm5.org/ProposedRevision...on.aspx?rid=57

it is the very first diagnostic criteria. here where I live and work the term "categorical" is used to say the alters have to have their own way of being, their own job, purpose, reason for being, own way of thinking, own way of perceiving....

the diagnostic criteria used the word "distinct" for this.

most of my alters were this way. I only had a few that were not this way.. here where I live and work those that did not fit the diagnostic criteria were called "ego states" and "introjects" which is completely different than having DID type alters.
