multiplicity_archivesDisclaimer: Opinions and confusion points of separate splits in here do not reflect on the opinions held by all. - W***
We have been wondering about these for a while, but did not have anyone we could ask. Any input or opinions are welcome. I understand how multiples work; I just get confused when it doesn’t follow standard definitions. It makes me wonder if I am just being delusional. - L**
Do all multiples hear voices in their heads? We were wondering about this. We almost never ‘hear’ anything. We tend to just switch and often know what everyone else is thinking, but not because we had a conversation, but because we just know. Do you have to hear voices in your head if you are a multiple? What does it mean if you do or don’t? - L**
Does anyone have somebody in their head that is in denial about them being a multiple? For example explaining shifts and alters as attention getting devices caused by sleep deprivation. We have never been abused in a ‘conventional’ manner when we where little, so she says we have no reason to be a multiple. This person in my head is very logical. What are logical reasons to prove that theory wrong? - W***
Does anyone else have splits that do not front and will hide if looked for? Why does this happen? What does this mean? Does it mean that we have hidden parts that are likely to do something evil at the worst possible time? - L**
Is there such a thing as a multiple that will not randomly lash out and hurt people that are close to them? - A****

Date: 2004-02-16 05:16 pm (UTC)I don't hear the others thinking, or talking among themselves, but we can and do talk with each other often (though not all of them will speak to me), and so I really only hear them when they want to be heard.
Does anyone have somebody in their head that is in denial about them being a multiple?
Just me, ha. No anymore though.
Does anyone else have splits that do not front and will hide if looked for?
I also don't like the term "splits" - my others didn't split off from me, they're just "there". But yes, there are others who don't front, or don't front often, and stay hidden. Mostly the hidden ones are just shy.
Is there such a thing as a multiple that will not randomly lash out and hurt people that are close to them?
Of course! There are many people who Shi would like to "deal with", but never anyone close to us, and she never acts out anyway. Just because she's a Goddess of Death doesn't mean she can just do away with whomever she pleases ^_~
