Hello. I (we?) have been watching this community for a while and find it interesting.

I (we?) am (are? Going to type in singular for the purpose of being clear) not sure whether or not I am a multiple. I do have various times where someone else seems to 'front', as I've heard it called. There are arguments. There are several in here.

But I am not sure.

Regardless, multiplicity is very facinating, and I'm always open to talk to multiples!

Nice to meet you... There are some very helpful links in the community info page that can help answer any questions you might have.. :)

[atrypical.livejournal.com]

Yes... but it's still a matter of sorting out whether it is really an "I" or a "we".

[kasiawhisper.livejournal.com]

*nods* that's something that only you can really discover for yourself.... :)

[atrypical.livejournal.com]

Exactly. Which is why Iwe isare having trouble.

It's hard to type without pronouns. :D

well, I don't think there's any rush to discover it. you pretty much suspect that something different might be going on. that's a big step for yourself. let that sink in for awhile before you come up with an ultimate decision. :)

Real is...

That which works. That which doesn't work, is not real. Or at least, not useful.

Hihi. I'm the resident non-multiple, not that that necessarily means I talk less weirdly than any of my co-members. Welcome; I hope the folks here can help you in some way.

Welcome to the community. It's a generally friendly and helpful place to learn more about everything. :)

IMO, that's one of those issues where only time can really make clear whether or not it's "real" or "just a phase." We were never quite sure in the beginning either-- we kept thinking "is this just something I think I am? Will it last?"

Also, it helped us to learn that things like switching and fronting aren't always as cut-and-dried as TV and sensationalistic 'true stories' make them sound. You can share the front, you can "blur" with someone else, you can be co-present in a lot of ways. I've actually stopped using the word "co-consciousness," for the most part, because my consensus was that a wide variety of different phenomena were being lumped together under one label. "There are many ways to be many"-- bearing that in mind was helpful for us.
