When did you decide that it was another personality and not just a psychological manifestation/combination of your lonliness, conflicting feelings, and desire for validation?

Do you ever feel like you are forceably in denial or have you been convincing yourself of that reality long enough that it's become habit?

Lastly, do you sense their responses or do you physically experience them in an auditory fashion?

I started thinking to it as a second personality when i saw him, as he was fully born.
It took a while for him to hatch.

>Denial

>Convincing
I tried to believe i didn't have a second personality for years, in the hope it would go away.
It didn't.

Most of the time, he talks.

There is a symbiotic aspect to it.
We kinda melt toghether, never at 100%, but the more we do the more he can communicate with me and we kinda become one and think as one.

Sometimes i even let him in control, but those are very brief and controlled instances.

This is a question i'd love to answer.

He had a name when he was just an egg, but when it hatched, it started changing so much and so fast, that a name was not enough anymore to dentify him.

He looks like many things, but he often likes to simulate human body anathomy, muscles, bones, but no skin.
It's like he's envyous of us humans and our body.

Some know about him.
A girl in particular, she's so interested in me and him, that i even let her speak to him, but she hates it.

I tried to kill him recently.
It didn't work, and i got depressed instead.

Yes, he can manipulate my emotions, but he can't really think rationally.

Whenever he speaks, he uses a broken language without much grammar, but he manages to be understood anyway.

I use him, and i give him full control, when i'm doing my sport.

In those moments i kinda fall in a weird trance, while he sends me countless images and feelings of anger and such, and i feel less pain and fatigue, while i can keep this mental state.

Also he can manipulate my feelings to make me happy even in desperate situations, he kinda cares about me, and know about my suicide thoughts.

We have a symbiotic telepathy, that works only from me to him.

He knows everything about me, but i can't read his mind like he does.

Also, he lives in a place deep into my mind, where the thoughts haven't an image form yet, but are images and feelings instead, almost like a dream, but more lucid.

He talks about what i really feel, what i really think, what things really means.

He found answer to question i didn't know i had.
And often my understanding of those answers comes with the learning of the question i needed answered.

Also, he doesn't speak often, but he shows me those primordial thoghts, encripted into images.

I learned to understand those after some year after he started doing so.

He doesn't, we mind our own buisness.

Only things he really changes are my tastes.
He pretends that i listen to some music rathen than other, he likes gore a lot (because of his anatomy obsession), and he has lots of sexual fetishes.

Also, he knows how to manipulate peoples mind, and i apparently can't, without his presence.
He sometimes did something slightly bad with this ability, but the victims didn't even notice.

Yes, i do, in a maniacally accurate way.

He was born from a emotive disorder i had as a child, a problem with anger.

This is a kinda long story, gonna shorten it, but i can give further details.

I was a child that didn't know how to manage his anger, that his broken family often gave him.
I knew about bullies being the angry ones because of personal problems, and i didn't want to become one.
'''So i stockpiled anger. For years.
Maybe 5, maybe 10.'''
I used videogames to distract myself and keep my anger cool.
Fast forward, now 13 year old.
Psychologis thinks i need to deal with my anger, and takes my distractio away.
I LITERALLY FELT AND SAW YEARS OF ANGER FLOWING INTO MY MIND IN A MATTER OF SECONDS.
My personality split, and one half sacrificed herself to save the other one.

The day my anger exploded, i had the most horrible and lucid of my hallucinations.
Then, 4 days of horror followed, with brief red flashes of death and blood visions from time to time, that kept happening whenever i was staring at someone.

Heh, how do you think they would react?

Normies will start avoiding me, in most cases, if i told them the full story.
I can always omit most of it and tell them "I had lots of mental problems, because of my family situation, and it took 5 years for me to turn back normal".
That seems kinda cool to most of them.

But all my friends are fucked up in the head.
I kinda attract weird people to me.
Most of them know this story, or part of it, and don't really care to hear the rest.

Only a couple of girls know the full thing, but there are details i didn't share with them, like the hallucination i had when it all started.
They like me very much, but they are very distant, unluckily.

He does take care of the useless anger, and after i let him ate the fear, he can take care of that too.
But i really try to express good feelings whenever i can.

And by that i mean that i get mad at people pretty easily.
I get all teary with sad films, and i get anxious easily.

It's weird.
Whenever i feel something, he asks me if i want him to eat it.
If i let him eat it, the feeling dies, and i see it.
I literally see the feeling itself, a graphical representation of it, a controlled hallucination.

There are limit to this, but if i want to stop feeling something, i can do it pretty easily.
I can even snap out of depression by sheer force.

He is not my anger, he is a part of my personality that got stuck in the depths of my mind.

We could say that he was born in anger, because that was the sentiment that made my mind split in half.

>Did he gain influence when you get angry?

Kinda.
Let's say that he awakens if i get really angry for a reason, to check what is going on.

It gets fun when someone threatens me. He gets enough control that my heart goes crazy, my fists start feeling itchy, my whole body warms up, and i feel a mix of happiness and anger, and i begin grinning like a motherfucker.

Hm. Do you know, it might be that an entity is possessing you. Feeding off you. Not your own self.

It is said that astral fragments of those who die are left behind to feed off other souls because of unresolved trauma in that particular lifetime of theirs, so they find hosts to fulfill those desires they desperately hold on to.

Nice question.

There is a certain point, so deep into my mind, that feels really weird.

Getting to it is like diving into a black sea.
Sound, light, perceptions, everything fades away, obfuscated by the water.

And the deeper i go, the more i start seeing things.

Things like primordial anglerfish, swimming in circular caves, that feels more like pulsating veins that natural formations.

Glowing jellifishes with a lovecraftian shape.

And then, the bottom of the sea.
That's the most scary part.
I couldn't touch it yet.

Hey guys, it's me.
I wanna sage my own thead because i don't feel like bumping it for no reason, but i'm here to ask you something.

Every answer i gave before this one >>2269 showed that i'm a rational anon, who can distinct between what is true and what is not, and is trustworthy.

But with that said, i could even be an anon who scripted everything from the real beginning!

And i'm not, of course, but how could you know that?

Well, i could start rambling a bit, and merging the truth and the facts with the things i see in my mind.
I could, basically, decorate the boring answer with a nice ribbon of madness.

What do i see…

Before i answer that, let me give you a bit of backstory.
After the day that shit went down, i spent 5 years fixing my mind.
The things i saw in that period were either terrible or really weird.

But after that, i got a nice balance between all my feelings, so now i can have really nice controlled hallucinations.
So controlled that i call them visions.

I basically fall in a trance, and he start showing me shapes, lights, and i shape them with an idea, like "what about i'm under the water?" and he start working around that.

But i'm gonna take this answer to the next level and give myself a vision rigt now, and describe it to you.
Hang on.

Thread revived after so long, wow.
Lemme see if my trip still works.

You see, i always made the distinction between my "visions" and my "hallucinations", the first being the ones i made happen, the latter being the ones that simply had to happen whatever my opinion was.

My hallucinations were great, and so terrible that they bent my mind and personality to what i am at this point.
Every hallucination had a trauma as a trigger, and a sentiment as a base.

You see, all the evidence i have points to the fact that sadness is a most recent sentiment, tied to relations and losing said bindings.
So the hall. i had of sadness were somewhat weaker than the others.

This being said, i value hallucinations a lot more than visions, because of their tract of having mattered a lot for me and my conscious.

The first hallucination i had was from anger, and it was from that that my second half was born.

The hallucination that brought peace into my mind was from fear, instead;
that's because i never stopped feeling angry, but fear can mitigate anger, as anger itself mitigates fear.

And THAT is the vision i treasure the most.

I'm going to tell you what i saw, but right now i have stuff to do.

It was edgy as hell, i know it, but you can't really command these things.

That was the fear of being alone.

That was in a moment of my life where i was sincerely afraid of being alone for the rest of my days, as the girl i loved left me for another guy after 6 months of being toghether.

After i accepted this fear of mine, i took the responsability of respecting this fear, and do whathever i could to not be alone anymore.
