[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We share a hobby and see each other regularly. Right now, interacting with her feels like interacting with a joint Facebook profile - who am I really talking to? I am uncomfortable with this, which I know is my own problem, and I'd like to get over it, but how? [/quote]

If your friend had another disorder, like MS or cancer, how would you treat the situation? [/quote]

I'm not sure how this is the same thing. If my friend had MS or cancer, I would know exactly who I was speaking to. With dissociative identify disorder, you don't have that assurance. Some alters can be violent, petty, gossipy, whatever, and while I like this acquaintance's primary alter, I suppose I don't necessarily want to interact with the others. Like I said, it's kind of like interacting with someone with a joint Facebook profile - who are you really talking to?[/quote]

It’s a condition and you treat them with care no matter what. What if her friend had dementia? You may not know what they’ll remember or even know who you are that day. [/quote]
