Unfortunatley not everyone can handle disability or chronic illness. A lot of it could be due to simple ignorance and misunderstanding. Maybe they believe your only DID if your like Sybil?

All you can do is try to teach them about it. If they truly can't handle it in tbe long run then i would want different friends anyway. But maybe for now they need time to get used to the idea.

Me well telling my BF has been both good and bad. Good because he accepts and loves all of us. Bad because he kind of sees me as an obscurity or game of "how many alters does monarch have" and sometimes has a nefative attitude about what some alters may do in public. He doesn't totally comprehend DID though so we are all working together. My mom is kinda freaked out. Most others can't know. Some found out that i didn't want too. Or an alter came out but things have been ok. So give your friends a little time and just keep repeating the truth
