I struggle to identify with it myself - there is only one "blob" in my conscious, and that blob is me as I am here, today. That "blob" was childlike when I was a child, and as i became more mature, so too did the blob. There are no remnants of my childlike blob - they disappeared when I matured. There is no scared blob, or defender-type blob or anything like that. There is one blob. One and only one.

It makes me wonder if maybe some people are just really good at compartmentalization, for whatever reason. That would explain why I can't really empathize with them - because I am just one cohesive entity. But maybe other people use compartmentalization to make life more manageable, and perhaps only have to deal with one manageable thing at a time (instead of loads of conflicting emotions at once in a big chaotic heap). This would be a handy skill to have. I will look into this.
But do you hear different voices in your head telling you what you should be doing at different times? I don't think I mean an altered sense of perception (or do I lack insight) but just my own voice I guess telling me how awful I am, telling me to harm myself or conversely calming me and telling me it is Ok I can do x,y,z, don't listen to that other stuff, etc... - where do these come from? Is this what everyone experiences? How can 1 solid "me" have such different opinions about things.
