I myself has been very hard to let a stranger get to know me/us. We have always been private, secretive, quiet, self-avoiding, non-expressive, tight......it would take a long time to just get comfortable to even talk to someone and share our thoughts- not even about DID, just casual talking.

I've thought about it- our awkwardness is as visible as the sun shines....and that bothers us. Coming on here exposing ourselves has made it easier to relax to the idea of opening up...but once we feel betrayed, we clam up and get mad. So being able, like you are...taking baby steps is a huge achievement. We are warming up to talking to a T.

Due to social difficulties at our job- we exposed our condition....good or bad? Don't know, but it was somewhat accepted...

I wish you well on your healing journey.
