Wow y'all, thats a little more elaborate then I expected, thank you!
May I try some elaboration too? I'm just going to leave everyone's names off to keep it brief. I don't dissociate much now a days (dazed and confused) but switching is often and seamless.
A thought causes a switch, when the thought is in some other's voice or it's their specialty/job to think so. On the same token, when a technical question has been asked about a job, then the other whose job it is that needs to respond will present. This has lead to being told "you're faking, you just fell out of character!"- like I want to live an entire life faking.
Different types of alters for different types of people is the only way we can publicly function in society....forget public speaking, we don't have one for that because it's so against our nature.
Of course we switch for jobs. Mental, physical, and emotional jobs- like work, cooking, driving, parenting, relaxing, shopping, public relations, selling, business, sex, friends, enemies, feelings, love, hate, playing, empathy, designing, to name a few.
As said way above, it's people that triggers us the most.
