Well, I can't say for sure if someone is a 'very functional system'. What I can guess is that they're more 'functional' than I am within this ...situation. I won't call it a disorder out of respect for those that don't think it is.
I read, and I envy those that can talk about 'us', and 'we', and 'this is what so-and-so thinks and feels', and all of that. That, to me, is functional, at least on some level. From what I gather, there are several here that don't suffer from time lapses. I do. I feel I am less functional because damnit, if I can't remember half a day, and I don't know what I did in that time lost, I don't really find that "functional". It might be for someone else, but for me it is not.
On another post, in a comment, people were talking about fragmentedminds, and I've joined there as well. I do really, really like reading this community, I just don't get the feeling that trauma based multiplicity is the norm here. That's why I don't post. I just glean wisdom from others.
Hope that answered your question. :) It's more or less a perceived functionality. I see in others what I'd like to be able to do with the Others that are with me, and I feel that if I was able to, we would be more functional.
