(no subject)

Wow. I really hope that I don't offend anyone by being here, and please forgive my use of terms because they might not be completely correct.

I don't actually have multiple personalities (that I'm aware of), but the main reason that I joined the community is because the subject fascinates me, and I would love to learn more about it. Who better to ask than those that have first hand experience with it right?

One question I have in particular would be how did you (your core identity) figure out/discover there were more identities? I have lots of questions other than that but I don't like to bombard people I haven't gotten to know yet, with tons of questions. I think it's a bit rude. Thanks. :)

Edit: Here's another question for everyone. Where did the names of the identities in your systems come from? (Those that have names anyways) I don't really know how to word that, because I am aware that not all names are made up, but just are. If that makes sense.

Our experience is very close to pengke's as described above; that is, we were never unaware of one another and used to talk and play together freely. The problem was to pretend to be a singlet in a world that doesn't accept behaviour based on plurality.

"Where did the names of the identities in your systems come from?"

Wasn't sure when I read this if you mean where did the names of the people came from or the places. In our world it's traditional to have several names because you might have a spiritual name that is used only in religious situations, another name that only friends or family call you, an everyday name, various nicknames or pet names, and if you are a frontrunner, an earth name like Jay or Gabriel. A name can be chosen by you, given to you by someone else, or just come to you. As far as place names, those go way back and their origins are shrouded in antiquity.

I never thought of it that way. I actually meant who gave each identity their name, if they have one.

Well, like I said, some of us named ourselves, some of us got our names from friends or family in our own world.
