Yes, you would think. We have a social anxiety disorder, even the idea of saying a word publicly raises anxiety to physical sickness levels. The anxiety rises causing dissociation and massive switching which jumbles up what we're saying which further drives the anxiety to the point of a panic attack, then I go out of body as the body reaches near pass-out.

To make this worse, this isn't my body (it is but it isn't). It's not me that I see in the mirror (ugh) so I can't stand mirrors, then to have everyone looking at me and listening to the body's voice? I can't handle it. None of us can.

It doesn't work for us because we are co-conscience for one which is like share the fear, and the abuse lasted well into our teen years....we are all affected. None of us feel safe.

Even saying "I pass" breaks us out in nervous sweats. It's better to not go, but I do.
