I see there is some confusion ruh roh and elevated soul...

heres what I mean....

some people who are DID like in the other pretending thread the sense of agency of the alters and those they reside with in feel like they have to pretend...

pretend that they are ok,
pretend to be the person that they reside with in
pretend to be each other.

sometimes this is part of how the system survives and hides the secrets of trauma and hide that there is more than one whole person. which is what the other thread on pretending is about... having to pretend in order to protect the system, secrets and so on during parts of or all areas of their life.

others like me and what is here in this thread do not have that kind of system, in this thread you will find people whos alters and person they reside with in sense of agency is dont pretend, just switch from host and alter to alter based on which alter handles that situation.

in rare cases some people like Luce demonstrated have a combination system where their internal system may have started out one way but now use both switching and pretending as a survival\protection tool.

neither kind of system is wrong, each persons internal system is comprised in what ever ways they are in order to survive all that traumas they went through.

there is now two threads on pretending one for each kind of internal system. hope that helps explain this.
