Sorry, I am not that good on personality disorders per say and am definitely not a professional.

However, my understanding of a dissociative personality disorder is that a person with this disorder is sort of aloof to others around him and doesn't really associate things he has done as a result of his behavior. He will escape problems by blocking certain parts of his life from his consciousness. He may even exhibit amnesic states.

I hope this helps you understand a little better.

If you have further questions and/or comments, please feel free to contact me at any time.

Blessings in all that you do.
