I just made an account to point out that not only is it suspicious af that Chloe is taking down all of the social media accounts that are getting posted here, but that one thing that keeps on bothering me and I haven't seen anyone else point out is that if she had DID, especially the very overt form she tries to portray, she would not be able to access at least half of the account because of dissociative amnesia.
For the sake of comparison, I'll keep it vague because frankly no one here needs to know about my personal stuff, but I deal with dissociative amnesia and thanks to email notifications I know that in the past 6 months I've had at least around 5 different reddit accounts of which I somewhat remember 2. It's honestly fucking impossible, if you have such an extreme form of DID, to know the passwords let alone email accounts each social media profile is linked to.
Kind of related to this: if she had DID we would have been able to find separate accounts for a considerable number of alters. I mean, she claims her alters are completely separate people but expects them all to use one mail and share social media accounts, let alone post consistently on the same channel? That's bloody ridiculous. She has claimed to experience episodes of dissociative fugue but no alter of hers has ever created a separate social media account, using their own identity, even as a young, social teen in college?
And while we're on the topic of dissociative amnesia, even if she had blocked off all the extreme childhood abuse that allegedly had to take place for her to have a DID diagnosis, she would have some idea, even if somewhat vague, of said abuse. When you get triggered you are, at least emotionally, going through the traumatic experience again. You can have amnesia walls, sure, but if your 'system' is so communicative and public with their experiences, someone would have slipped up at some point. Hell, to avoid being triggered, you need to know what your triggers are, and that gives some idea, no matter how small, of the trauma you've experienced.
And just like others before me have pointed out, just because you don't remember your childhood trauma, that doesn't make you remember your childhood as a happy one. A kid that dissociates on the regular basis needed to develop DID will appear stand-offish, withdrawn and absent-minded. They are the type of kid that doesn't care about getting attention from either parents, peers or teachers. In fact, people with a freeze response to trauma are the opposite of attention-seeking. Because they have internalized that people are dangerous, and therefore any kind of attention is a threat. When there's a trigger, you'll notice it because of how uncharacteristic it is for them to openly show something is troubling them (if they happen to have a different response, such as fight or flight) or because they will just shut down entirely. Traumatized kids reenact their trauma, either as a desensitization technique, a way to express their distress, or because they've grown up in an environment where the abuse has been normalized to such a radical degree. If you interact with that child daily, you'll notice that something is off. Dissociation is linked to a freeze response to trauma, and dissociative identity disorder requires that kid to repeatedly have a freeze response in separate traumatic instances for long enough that the part taking that abuse becomes independent and can't integrate in order to help the child survive. Freeze goes from being a response to trauma to becoming the norm for kids with fucked up childhoods who are more prone to displaying this kind of response, whether they have DID, other kinds of dissociative disorders or CPTSD.
No one around Chloe noticed any kind of behavior associated with a freeze response. She is described as quite the opposite, in fact, by her friends and family in numerous occasions. Yes, everyone experiences dissociation somewhat differently and 'every system is different'. But when what someone is saying doesn't add up, at all, I'm gonna be skeptical and question their motives, especially if they are making money 'educating' people and switching on camera and acting as the face of those who suffer with DID on YT.
I hope this didn't come off as too bitter, I just have been watching from the sidelines for a couple of years and don't get how no one's called her out on this. Survivors of childhood trauma deserve to be respected, but when they need to be held accountable, hold them fucking accountable and question them. But with Youtube's 'anti-bullying' policies, I can understand why the bigger influencers are sitting this one out. It's just very unfair that Chloe is able to get away with the inconsistencies and shady shit she's pulled, but that's how YouTube works after all. Never did I think I would be thankful for something Trisha Paytas did, yet here I am.
