Its highly unlikely I will say anything about whats going on in my head without someone asking me first.
There are days where I really don't want to talk about it, or where nothing is going on and I feel normal. On those days my response might cut you dead, but inside I would still be appreciate of your concern and questions.
I have no idea if thats what your friend is like, but I hope this helps  |
This, just a girl (did that come from No Doubt? Love that band) is very much like what I feel. I hardly know my alters at all and I have no idea what their situations are like when i' m not conscious of them. In my case, if I know someone knows that I have D.I.D. and ignores it... doesn't ask about it or address it... my feelings get so hurt I shut them out altogether. When I'm alone I sob and sob and other littles sob because their "friend" doesn't care about them; it seems at least one or more of the littles are always paying attention to whoever is in the room with them, even though there are just about always older alters in control of the body while we're with other people. I know everybody is different, but that's what happens with me. I've always hoped to have friends that care about and that pay attention to the D.I.D.; i' m kinda jealous of your D.I.D. friends. I would guess that they appreciate you much more than you know even when they don't seem to... even the meanie-headed ones.
