So then recently I made a new buddy and that was awesome but, me being me I kind of forget to tell people I suffer from did sometimes and then if I switch in work/while i'm out it get really awkward, because they start asking why were you so quite today, or why didn't you come out ect. And i'm just thinking it wasn't me. Do any of you struggle with this? If so what do you do cause i hate pushing my friend(s) away but not all my others are going to be friends with them too, and not all my alters can go work/out so.... Yeah how do you deal with 'your' friends.

nope this never happened to me. regardless of who I switched into everyone just thought I was me and it wasnt an issue because thats how I have always been..my first split into an alter was between the ages of 2-4 so how I was as an alter is how I have always been until I integrated. and even then people didnt notice much because everything the alters were, became me. so again I was just how I had always been to those around me.
but I do notice that asking a child or adult if they are ok, why are they so quiet, or rowdy moody what ever is just a normal thing for people to say to each other even normal people say it to other normal people...
I think its just human nature to notice when someone whether they are mentally ill, physically challenged or completely normal are participating in conversations/activities and check in with them...
many children learn this side of common manners/ respect for each other when they are in elementary school when teachers tell them to give everyone a chance to talk or play the games, answer questions read the story....
so to me it is no big deal if someone asks me if Im ok when Im quiet, or moody.
