im sorry you find the word multiple insulting. it is hard to find a descriptive word to correctly convey it i think. it is my personal belief-and i only claim this as my experiences-that there are differing levels of DID. and each system is so individually unique in how it functions and how it was created. but i no longer keep mine hidden which again is my own personal choice. how our system came into existence however is not something i would feel safe publicly sharing so that is definitely kept hidden. however i dont like the label "disorder" so i usually will just say my system.
