*giggle* Sorry... I know that was intended as shocking or insulting or something... but I had a mental image of you squatting down and trying to pull out an engraved brass plaque.
For a start, no one here is 'sane' I guess we could call each other nutter in the same way Samueal L Jackson can comfortably say "Nigger" without meaning or causing offence.
I do care about others who have problems, who are having a tough time, who are here for help. It's just that so often I see them getting help from those least qualified to give it.
"I have problem X" "Oh... my Elf-Shaman-Starfighter-Alien-Mecha-Vampire-Jedi walk-in personality says that you need to do XYZ, and he should know, he's a wizard" The problem is when you talk to people about the fact that they are a little 'strange in the head' they pull the 'multiple-tolerance' card and ... it's just plain annoying. it is possible to have a personality that beleives itself to be something else, another gender, another ethnicity, another age, even another species. No bones with thart. Why is it that so many I see seem to be... I don't know... I can understand it in a way, wish fufillment and all...
Or people are advised on how to get more multiple like it's some kind of competition. "OMG! There's only 3 of us in here... how do I contact the silent ones and why do I have no inner world" It's not a race to see who can be most multiple.
If you are multiple ... fine. Welcome to the club, there are a lot of us in here. More than you may think (I found out a friend is multiple a month back, after a couple of years of knowing them). If you are able to cope in society, if you are a healthy multiple, great.
There are many ways to be multiple, or rather many perspectives, many ways of viewing the inside of the mind. Maybe you have a core central personality maybe not, maybe you have a system of sorts, maybe not. Maybe...
Maybe I should not have made the post and kept quiet. It's just some things that have been bugging me.
