Questions of Curiosity

[purplellamaboi.livejournal.com]

I'm just curious as to how everyone came to learn that they were multiples? I've often wondered how one comes to learn this fact, and what sparked ths realization.

Also, are there cases where a core personality is so strong that any others that might want to show themselves are "shut down" and cannot express themselves? Why would this be the case?

And lastly: are there cases where the personality at the front (no matter which one it is) is aware of everything that's gone on with the host body but may not remember being the one to have done it (ie: extreme case of short term memory)?

About 4 years ago we were able to find a "term" for the way we lived, but we have had other people in one body long before that. It wasn't something that I thought about (Like, oh there's Dani, she's different then me) it was just something I was used to thought everyone had different people and didn't name them or refer to them as separate. I found the term for it after one of my guardians came out to a friend of mine and scared him, and he learned about it in psychology class.

I think they can have control for so long. Until people start realizing it feels like a dictatorship and overthrow the core. ;) I used to control switching and control because I got scared, they finally just "broke through" the gates and we learned to share.

Hmm, I'm confused by the question.
