Some times when my alts come out in public (voice changes, sometimes a lot) I see heads turn and know that I am upsetting people.

I know that there isn't much I can do about it, except maybe excuse myself from the room.

Does this ever happen to you. Or am I alone in this?

(((*HUGS*)))
yeah sometimes it does happen to me...the one thing that happens to me that is different...what happens is sometimes i feel as though i am not able talk at all...like i am really little...so little that i am not able to talk and sometimes do not understand what is going on...i can hear people but i am not able to respond verbally to them...and what goes on in my head...is like...most of my adult alters...telling me its ok to talk...well thats how it goes in my head...when that happens...i hope this wasnt too confusing for you to understand...but i do understand what you mean...it is really scary for us when we are not able to talk at all...again (((*HUGS*)))to you all!!!

I do understand. Instead of not talking when inside gets scared I stutter. Then people think I have half a brain.

Shall we not talk and sit by a camp fire??? Stuffies allowed.

Makes complete sense. Both of you.

I've had a few times when an alts behavior is so out of control it does really scare the person around me. Had to be held so not to end up hurt. It's scarey for the person, and It horrifies me to know that I was that out of control and I couldn't do anything to stop it.

Sometimes I change really quickly, two or three times in a few minutes and that can unnerve people that know me well, especially when I don't notice. That was actually how I started to figure out I was changing, from my friends commenting on how it confused and unnerved them.
Strangers notice sometimes when I'm walking down the street, or in waiting rooms. My little one comes out in public a lot more than he used to and I think that confuses people. He's usually very well behaved and lets the adults do the talking but he will say out of place things sometimes and his voice really sounds little. I can imagine it's surprising coming from a grown man with a greying beard.
