My DID made me a master at reading people. I knew when my father would have a psychotic episode just by a change in his vocal tone and his body language. My ability to observe people and interpret them is one of my dissociative gifts. I miss nothing and unless I am floridly psychotic I'm usually accurate. I think of my ability to read people the same way as I think of my DID, an adaptive survival skill. I use it on my psychiatrist and therapist all the time. My psychiatrist says I have exquisitely tuned radar. I didn't lose it in integration. I've just become more aware of it.
