For the most part if an alter has a friend and they don't know I have DID then they will present as me but act like them. We are really similar which makes things easier to deal with than many people seem to struggle with, because of that we're super high functioning. it's kind of nice to know that for the most part, they're all going to act like me and give my name as theirs instead of introduce themselves as someone else.

so your system according to your post is one where pretending is part of your alters like in this thread

Im different than that other thread my alters would switch from one to another. my alters did not pretend to be each other. with me its the other side of pretending (in other words not pretending)
