Are You Allowed to be Seen In Public?

[shades]

That is what I will like to know. Because of I am not.

Dang it. Can't get used to this sensitive little laptop. Just lost our whole response.

To summarize, mostly no. Some top circlers step up to blend and help upfronters, but we don't want to be discovered or seen by outsiders, so for us it's okay to hide and not be seen. Sounds like it's hard for you, though, huh?

[shades]

Yes becasue I do not like to be a Embarrassment that is why. Because I will like to do what I want to not other people want me to get away.

Only if we are around friends who have inside people. Or are okay about inside people. Which is not a lot. But sometimes I sneak out. Hahahaha.

people come out when needed or interested. outsiders rarely/never notice what they're not looking for.

Absolutely never. I have a human interphase that deals with the outside world. Has to ... Otherwise no one would understand what the heck they were with. My others are either too small, too dysfunctional, or too angry to be out in public. It would be a pretty big disaster for me if they went out there, and mostly...they don't want to go out there at all. They don't feel safe at all out there for their own good reasons.

Igraine, what's a "human interphase"? And if you don't mind saying, how does it differ from your system as a whole?

No need to say anything that makes you uncomfortable. We're just interested in how different systems work.

Some of us can come out and some of us cant for different reason or dont want to. This world is a scary place that other people dont understand us so we dont like to come out much. Our host gets angry anyways if we do without asking cause others make fun of us if they dont know about us anyways.

A human interphase is a deliberately engineered hyper functional public persona programmed with protocols to behave precisely in correct, socially acceptable, and politically correct manners. It is not a true personality per se, but is more of a front that interphases with peoploids. I make adjustments to its functional algorithms as situations or changing norms demand. It is a shield that I, the host stand directly behind and manipulate as required...watchful and protected. I don't always use it, but with new, untrustworthy, or uncertain situations I slip it on like a comfortable suit. Every bit of it I designed from the ground up and it took a long time to get it to run in a smooth natural manner. Out of necessity I created it, but it is not a true alter or personality, more like a programmed machine.

Igraine,

Thanks for explaining. It helps.

Just to further show how well my human interphase works...I switched twice in front of the nose of a psychiatrist who was telling me he didn't think I had DID. He never even noticed a single glitch in the program. Quite a little screen saver Ive built for myself, except now I have to go back to him and try to explain what happened. My T suggested that it would be the right thing to do. I don't do it on purpose, but when I feel uncomfortable with someone or like I'm being invalidated or whatever, the public persona keeps running in the foreground like a faithful sentinel. Strange ... it never seems to happen while I'm here at Mosaic Minds. When I'm here I don't feel the need to hide behind anything. Thank you so much MM for giving me a place where I can be what I am without me feeling odd, different, or judged, and especially for never making me feel invalidated. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

We second the thank yous also Igraine and are so grateful for the support MM gives all of us!!!
