I have a question... do people, the general non-therapy people, talk about themselves in we and us? Someone asked me once if I thought my personality was fragmented (not DID). I understand that we are all slightly different in different situations with different people, for example, I am one way with my grandson and a different with my department director. I am not sure about fragmented personalities - starting to wonder though.

Anyway, I sometimes refer to myself as a we or us when talking about myself or more specifically to myself. Such as... "it's ok, we're going to be ok". I don't always talk like that; however, it is frequent enough for me to notice. Also, I do find myself associating significantly different personality traits to different ages, genders.

Is it maybe for comfort? Like, it's a way to make you feel like it's not just you vs. whatever?
