System argues the most about how to deal with mean people. And how much to tell people. I have a little spiel that I do when asked why I have a service dog (dissociation is normal, like forgetting why you went to your room to grab something, but I do it for longer and more frequent). So I tell complete (nosy) strangers that I dissociate. But I don't want people to really know the why. Or that I am mentally ill. For some reason my spiel does not make people think I am mentally ill. Except for the occasional person who already knows about dissociation.

Do you like dogs, cats, both or neither?
