Everybody inside told me so!

Everyone's system is different. DID/OSDD is all about hiding the trauma and dealing with life on life's terms. To unsuspecting people, they can't see what's happening behind the eyeballs, so it all looks linear and flawless.

In our system, we all have different names, ages, gender, likes and dislikes. We wear the bodies clothes, but I have different prefs in color and for shorts seeing the body would look stupid in a skirt (like that's stopped a few others in private). We get to clear gloss the nails and shave the body a bit. I guess in us it's obvious because we all act and sound different, but to someone unsuspecting??? I mean we gesture, stand, walk, talk, sit, move, posture, expression different.

Sure we are versions of a single person, but for practicality...we are all different. The thing about us is that some of us is somewhat aware, at least the mains are.
So for those people that think they know and try to tell us what a DID person is... they don't. We don't understand how singletons think and they don't understand how multiples think, IMHO. My therapist asked if I wanted to think singularly and I was like I don't know because I don't know.

What hides us though is that we can pass a train of thought sticking to a subject till an other likes got other plans.

Everyone does have a misconceived notion- Hollywood style which makes everyone tell me that I'm full of ****. It really ticks me off when I'm denied, like when the freshly fired pdoc told me out right that I wasn't and he didn't know my name. Anyone can be ignorant, whatever.

Even my partner tells me that I'm just acting just to mess with her head! lolololol. Whatever, we're getting a divorce anyways.

The nail polish and hairless thing is just part of, I guess. I just ignore it. I've tried fixing it with remover but it always come back everyday so I gave up.

We are a switchaholic...we swap over the littlest things because everything in life is a trigger. Thoughts, sights, sounds, situations, events, memories, people, places, things, enviroment, injuries...etc.

See, I'm still wearing the same clothes and body...no one can tell. Only people that have never met us before can tell, I've noticed that. If they meet an other and get a first impression, than an other comes out on the second meeting, I've seen the looks. I've also heard that "you've never acted this way before..."
Blah blah blah.

Other affected individuals in this forum have different stories because everyones system is different.
