I am totally confused... to me this is easy....

there are two threads.

one for people who have systems where there is pretending (the joy of pretending)... pretending to be each other, pretending to be ok, pretending to know whats going on when......

and one for people who have systems that do not pretend they rely instead on switching from one alter to another with no pretending (pretending, the other side meaning the opposite of, those that dont...).... no pretending to be each other, no pretending to cover up when a switch happens, no pretending to be ok, ....no pretending. just switching from one to another.

this thread here is for those that do not have to pretend, they just switch from one to another.

suggestion......try not to over think this, or read more into it.... instead think theres a thread for those that do (joys of pretending) and now one for those that dont which is the other side.
