What if you don’t like being Multiple?

Don't Like Being Multiple

This week, the readers here have posted a wide variety of reactions to the idea that being multiple could have benefits.  If you haven’t yet read all the comments on that blog, please do so.  They are very interesting.

When people have DID/MPD, they have experienced life as a multiple since their childhood.  It is their norm – basically the only way of life they know.  Multiples typically have not experienced life any other way other than being multiple, even if they didn’t realize they were as split as they are.  Sure, one or two of the host personalities may not have a strong personal connection to what it’s like to be multiple, and many of them can deny the existence of the internal others to some degree, but the internal system as a whole would have been there for nearly your whole life.

And frankly, many DID’ers that…

    • Oh yes i didn’t specify. I only know the English language. I learnt a little French and a little Japanese at school. Along with maori. But not fluent in any of those.

      • Ah, yes Maori. I notice Maori had made it onto Google Translate the other day.

        NZ’s quite a long way from other countries anyway, so foreign languages are probably less important.

        Your username reminds me of how someone from the West Country (in England) would say “lovely”. A greeting in that region goes “Alright, me luverrr?” If you don’t know that accent, it’s basically how most of the hobbits in the Shire talk in the Peter Jackson films. So in my mind, you are “Luverrrrrleee”

      • So you are or you’re not?

        Today, I was so bored I went back on Yahoo Answers. Normally, there’s fun to be had prowling the mental health and psychology sections and ripping the shit out of all the retards, but today they just ignored me for the most part.

        You know about one third of the questions are suicide related, and there’s always lots of answerers going “wait! don’t do it. life is precious bla bla bla”. I buck the trend by telling the questioner how they can kill themselves without it hurting (that’s what they usually ask) or if they’re on the edge I decide on a whim which way I’m going to push them.

        But like I said, today no-one was really playing ball.

I think people get angry at the matter-of-fact way I write it (or maybe think it’s irresponsible giving ‘crazy’ people ideas), but it’s just giving them instructions they asked for.

      • Did you want to talk about murder, then?

        I was going to put rat poison in my housemate’s cooking one day, but there were too many people living in that house and there’d be no way to get away with it.

        I scouted out some dark places (in woods, under bridges, like a troll lol) to ambush passers by but that was even more ridiculous in terms of the likelihood of getting caught. Plus I never got round to buying the baseball bat.

        If it’s food shopping, that’s not boring. Though to be fair I don’t go very often myself, so it’s always a novelty, buying exciting foods I don’t really need 🙂 Normally find someone interesting to talk to in the aisles too.

Not a complete asshole because I know about manners, charm and morality even when I don’t use them, but an asshole nonetheless. I would step over your body while you were dying if there was something I wanted. I can’t be relied on to continue to be nice to you, I certainly can’t be relied on not to manipulate you. Whether that’s to help or harm you, only I will know for sure. But since you are my possession, I can be relied on to look out for you. You only have to ask if you have a problem, and I will deliver (except by giving you money or smuggling goods or people across international borders).
