I’m sorry soulbonders are fake *what*?  What exactly do you believe they are faking?

No soulbonder is claiming to have DID/OSDD-1 or need medical/psychiatric attention for their soulbonding.

Soulbonders are people who believe they share headspace with fictional characters and other spirits. If you somehow find that offensive that’s on you, not them/us.

However, since you insist on putting soulbonding in a medical frame of refrence, let me present you with a couple of possibilities that may not have occurred to you.

1. There are worldwide religious beliefs that involve sharing your body with spirits from outside of it. The DSM makes a note of these cultural beliefs and exempts them from diagnoses of DID/OSDD-1.Therefore, soulbonding as a belief can be considered to be exempt from diagnosis.
2. People who believe they have soulbonds could be undiagnosed DID sufferers with repressed trauama.
3. People who call their headmates soulbonds could be DID sufferers who don’t wish to make their trauma or diagnosis public.
4. People who believe they have soulbonds could be delusional or hallucinating and unaware of that fact.
5. People who believe they have soulbonds could be delusional or hallucinating, aware of it, and not want to make that fact public.
6. It is none of your business what trauma someone has or hasn’t gone through.
