Multiplicity: How Social Politics Form Fronts

Multiples face a serious problem in society which may cause them to have frequent mental or emotional breakdowns. Social dynamics require consistency and conformity. Multiples often have trouble complying. Multiples may create new egos to respond to new social dynamics and these new egos may become rigid fronts that neglect the needs of their multiple systems under pressure from family, friends, lovers or bosses to present a known consistent persona.

Head Games and Deliberate Manipulation

An issue many multiples are facing is the appearance of pseudos. Pseudos pretend to be multiples, possibly for amusement or for attention. Pseudos help reinforce the public perception that persons claiming to be multiples or who may have ‘valid’ MPD or DID diagnoses are faking it or are delusional. Pseudos make it harder for genuine multiples to be accepted in society, even among societies which are predominantly multiples.


No one ever likes to be doubted, but multiples that come out of the closet are often met with doubt or even derision. The whole concept of being a multiple can be very scary to many people including multiples. The scary thing about multiples is the issue of trust.

We may all want to be able to trust people, but multiples represent a special case because they may hold very different opinions, beliefs, desires or expectations in different personalities. When we build a relationship with someone whose fundamental beliefs seem to change from moment to moment we may have a hard time trusting them and relating to them.

Okay, so, I have a multiple, or little, as I've heard some people refer to them, named Tony. Tony is 10 years old, but he doesn't seem to be able to grow up. I sometimes have flings with women, which disturbs Tony as he is quite homophobic, but I get the feeling that Tony is secretly gay, and that is the source of his homophobia, and I'd like to help him come to terms with it, and, in the process, help him to grow up. Basically, what I'm asking, is how to get Tony laid? He might not be thrilled with it at first, unfortunately. I know a male who would be interested in helping Tony, but I don't know how to go about this. Any thoughts?
