I used to get upset if I thought people thought I was a sybil. Watching that movie scared the crap out of me. but now it doesn't bother me. After alot of research I found out that in the making of that movie situations were changed to add dramatics and that new manuscripts, paintings, journals and so on by Shirley Mason (sybil) were found and now the book and movie are in the midst of controversy because the things newly found do not match what was written in the book and put in the movie. The same with The Three faces of Eve - that alter death scene scared the crap out of me as did her alters taking over her body like she was possessed. Then I did loads of research and found out that alters can't just come out and take over for memorys are trigger related and the person only acts out that memory as long as they are still upset by that trigger. and you can't kill off a memory. The only way a person can physically lose their memory is if they have been hit in the head and have physical brain damage.

As for why everyone cares? Well they like and love you and they don't want you to be in pain.

When a person has DID they act out memorys without being aware that they are doing that.

Think about how you would feel if you were on the bus with your best friend and suddenly he/she curled up in pain because the memory of getting punched is replaying in his or her mind. Or you are in a shopping mall with your best friend and they suddenly lay down on the floor and masterbate because the memory of their having to do so during an abuse situation is replaying in their mind.

These are the same feelings that people around you are experiencing and want to help you with.

I gave up trying to justify how bad or good my issues and feeling are. To me it doesn't matter. one wrong touch creates the same feelings of depression and so on that a lifetime of wrong touches does so how bad does not matter. what matters is that I see the problems and want them to no longer be a problem so I do what needs to be done to take care of that problem be it medication, therapy and so on. by taking care of the problem I will have a better life because I will no longer be acting out memorys when not aware and I will be able to funtion better in my day to day life.

If you are having touble justifying then throw the justifying out the window and just focus on the probems - depression, and so on. You can take care of depression with medication, and classes and therapy without getting into how bad the situations that caused it was.
