I'm just wondering if anyone else sort of shared their friends with other parts. One, the host and the one who's usually in front, is usually the one to introduce me to other people and we sort of share a friend. We're always co-conscience so I know everything she knows about the person and I decide if I want to talk to them or not. And when I do, she let's me sort of talk through her in a way, but that's mostly through online text conversations.
So my first question is: Does anyone here share a friend with a part? And how do you or the part feel about the sharing?
One and I have no problems sharing anything, but when she shares her friends with me, I don't really feel like they're my friends. I feel like they temporarily talk to me or think I'm One (we're a lot alike) even when I try to phrase things in a way that would be obvious that I'm talking. Even when they do acknowledge me, I feel like I'm sort of a third wheel, like I didn't earn this friendship. Like they only like me because they like One. Not to mention that the people she introduces me to are people who she doesn't want to scare off so I feel a lot of pressure not say anything that might scare them off and that pressure isn't letting me be quite myself and I feel silenced.
I realize I can go make my own friends, but honestly that's very hard and it takes a lot of time to form the same trust I have with One's friends. If you experience anything like this or have any advice, that would be much appreciated.
