For us a lot of the problem was jealousy and insecurity. He worried she would somehow take me away from him. Possibley not useful in your situation, but it's our experience.
Mollie had a friend who has a big thing about honesty. So she decided to introduce me to him. Big mistake. He decided that I was out to hurt her, and that I should just go away. Which mostly led to me encouraging her to avoid the jackass. Because I don't feel comfortable around someone who has threatened me from the start, the one time he's ever talked to me. Luckilly, he's moved out of state, so I don't have to deal with him anymore.
yep. a lot of people dislike/hate/fear us because for so long, the only had the face. it's a natural reaction for people to fear or even hate what they dont understand.
but others hate us because they dont believe were here.
We have that problem, a few people have been fearful of Toby when he comes through, saying that he is going to hurt them, when in fact hes just as curious as anyone would be when meeting a new person. My sister for instance was very uncomfortable when he first fronted in her presence. Alo, my ex often tells me that Victor and Alex are evil and want to destroy me, while I know they are just there to support me. Definatly seems to be a fear of the unknown :/
Some of us did not like others in us. Our partner accepted and was loving to all of us and helped us to like each other. ...Though sometimes Veronica gets on her nerves.
I used to know this woman whom seemed to have been able to sense that I had more than one part to me, before I was fully aware of it myself. She was always trying to perform an exorcism on me. She'd say "In Jesus' name I cast you out". I'd respond, "In Jesus' name, I demand you leave me alone." It was pretty funny, although, I was a bit scared that her belief would force me to leave my body, and it would be dead, or in a coma. Yeesh!
It's not so funny when religious types threaten to force you out of town or to burn your house. That happened to me. I think i would be tempted to reply with a curse rather than "In Jesus' name, I demand you leave me alone.".
Well, our system doesn't work on a basis where there's one host and everyone else is an alter. People in our real life who think they're seeing (bodyname) are actually seeing several of us pretending to be the same person. Therefore, if somebody were to claim to be that they "hated everyone else," I would have to laugh because they've been seeing lots of people over all this time.
Anyway, why did they decide they "hated you" anyway? If they simply decided to *hate,* not just dislike, everyone who isn't "the person they know," that's rather childish of them and you don't need such people as friends.
I agree. Our system works much the same way from what I have gathered so far... (I am "new" to this system). However we have had a few incidents where people would not accept us. These people have fallen out of our lives and are not trusted with information or really our friendship at all. The "host" or "original" as she calls herself although there is no true hierarchy is good at pretending...I think you all should care less about being "hated" by these "friends". If they truly hate you when they've known you all along then they are not and never were your friends, in my strict opinion.
