I'm sorry you have had such a bad experience with telling your friend. It's hard when someone you are close to does not react as you'd hope.
My friends and I often joke about the funny things that happen because I'm multiple, but it feels very accepting.
I have seen so many people talking about bad experiences of telling someone they are multiple, and I wish that I could figure out why my experience has been different. I've told most of the people I'm really close with (my partner, many of our close friends, and my in-laws), and they have all been fairly good about it. Perhaps it helps that my partner is exceptionally supportive, and she will back me up if someone starts getting mean.
A few of the people I've told were weird about things at first, but as they got more familiar with me being multiple over the years, either they stopped being weird, or we just didn't discuss it any more, and they kind of forget about it, which is fine with me.
I hope that eventually your friend is able to be more supportive for you.
Who says there is anything wrong with being crazy, anyhow?
