The other reason was because other singular people were calling us out and calling Scar fake, for which he is definitely not otherwise I wouldn't be writing right now.
Do not doubt yourselves. You know you the best. And if you know that you means 2+ other people, than let it be!
Yes, systems are different. There can't be two same systems because the body has went through different things in life. We don't know what happened to us because the original memories are gone with the core. We work in a team and manage everything to the best. We don't struggle with time loss, we don't hate each other (leaving Noah out on this one cus he is a ****) and me, Waidth and Scar are all three hosts. Scar is dating Carolinae (which is another alter) and Waidth and Evee are siblings. Noah is my twin, and we have no communication with each other. We all have visuals of how we look and we all have different voices in our head but not in the world.
So if you didn't know it: Systems vary as the person does. There aren't same people and there wouldn't be same systems. There will always be doubt, but don't let it take over. Lots of hug from us, and thanks for reading

yes each persons ...internal system of alters .... is different, in that it is how ever each system needed to be in order to survive, and along with this here in america we have uniform diagnostic criteria for each of the mental disorders that american treatment providers treat. what that means is before a treatment provider can call someone DID that person and their system must meet special guidelines called diagnostic criteria.

here in america its kind of like when you go to the doctor with a sore arm, the doctor can not call that sore a broken bone unless it meets special guidelines.

just the way american treatment providers are, most that I know dont like to jump to conclusions and err on the side of caution when diagnosing mental disorders in general, there are many different mental, medical and normal problems here in america that share the same symptoms so to make it easier america has uniform guidelines called the DSM 5 that says what each mental disorder is and what each mental disorders individualized diagnostics are.

my internal system was different than yours but because I met the diagnostic criteria my treatment providers said I had DID.
