I'll probably take flack for this but...

I'm kind of two people sharing the same body. A division of mind, two personalities with some shared memories.
I read some posts in this community & go "Yes... that sounds familiar. I'm glad I'm not alone."
I read some posts and go "Riiight... nutter, nut-ter. Notjob"
This place occasionally makes me feel sane because I read things from literate inteligent people who just happen to be sharing a body with others. Occasionally it makes me feel sane because I read posts and realise that I'm a healty sane multiple, not insane like the poster.

I'll not single out any individuals (forgive the pun) but the nut-job posts I read usually ... heck. I'm not going to give examples. I think you know which ones I'm refering to.

*nodnod* I understand.

I don't think anyone here is particularly qualified to give professional help (besides perhaps some of the psychologists, and even still..). People try to help in the best way they can, which is more often than not, just saying how it is for them.

I think it's one thing to seek advice on how to get in better contact with your system if there's some problem with communication, and another thing to try and force something that isn't there just to feel special. so you don't have an inner world or thousands of elves in your head. who cares. I do understand it's frustrating when more often than not, people seem to just want to fit in or seem interesting. especially if it's with a subject that's personal to you. I know that's one of the reasons a lot of people reject soulbonding.

the drawback of the Internet is it's impossible to tell if someone is being sincere or making things up for attention. but it's really not much different from "real life" in that sense. I've been lead around by a pathological liar before without ever touching the Internet. it ultimately comes down to how cynical and trusting you want to be. myself, I tend to think the better of someone before I think the worst. benefit of the doubt, I guess. I know how it feels to be treated like I'm just a nutjob looking for attention, and it's a crappy feeling when you're trying to be sincere and look for help.
