Whenever people act friendly toward me, I'm suspicious of their motives. I've had a lot of bad experiences where people befriended me and pumped me for personal information, then spread it all over the place as gossip. That's the way a lot of people operate, they work to gain your trust and then take advantage of things to benefit themselves.
I tend to shift into defensive mode when people act in a friendly way. i guess I've just had too many bad experiences. Maybe that's what these personality shifts are about...a defense mechanism. I've read that DID is a way of defending ourselves that traumatized people develop.
