A feeling of masks

[pleiades-rising.livejournal.com]

Do you ever feel like the others in your system are just masks? It feels that way for me sometimes, but sometimes I feel like I'm just a mask, and someone else in the system is putting me on. I'm going to x-post this from my other journal. Tell me if this is common, or if I'm a lost cause here. It sounds a bit emo, so I'm sorry about that I guess.

Question

[stealthdragon.livejournal.com]

It's been suggested that multiplicity might be more common in people with/whose body has Aspergers' syndrome or autism, and I'm rather curious how well that holds up.

Do you or anyone in your system have Aspergers' syndrome or autism? If so, is it a system-wide thing, or particular to a certain person or group?


We have Aspergers' syndrome, and it appears to affect everyone in our system to some extent. (None of us is all that good at understanding social situations or reading body language, for instance, and the lot of us have 'odd' interests.)

tonight i was skimming through the stations, cuz i'm feeling all alone tonight. probably cuz i'm sick, and NO one wants to deal with me. blah.

anyway, backing off the emo-ness there...

i came across some... tv interview. it was like some independant station interview thing. i don't know how to explain better.

the host chick was interviewing some guy. i wanna say he was a multi... but...

he was going on about how he hears voices, and kept on not knowing what he was talking about. and she kept laughing at him, as did i.

i think he was TRYING to be (acting, at least) serious, about being a multi, but this just blew my mind. the host chick seemed to be trying very hard to stay serious with him, but even i couldn't keep a straight face.

"it's like... voices... yeah, voices... in a... radio... and... you can hear them!"
"could i hear them?"
"if you tried..."

.......urgh. i dunno. the guy seemed to be trying to force himself to have answers. like he wanted attention or something.

anyone else ever see something like this, and doubt it highly? aside from the dumbasses who just mock, and need to be tossed into a lake. :) i don't doubt many people, but this was just... messed up.

if anything, it just made me mad, and wanna slap someone. hard. ~_~;

power to da peoples
