So it's like when we have to talk about ourselves as what an Other did....it comes across as we.

I've become to notice that this is starting to materialize in our manner of speech...but so what.

But when there are times for appearance sake that we claim an Others deed like where it matters i.e. Work....I still feel guilt.

Yes?

I hope this isn't triggering or ridiculous to you all....but this makes us feel more honest and truer to ourselves in our system.

We are so switchy...it's never "I" for any negligible amount of time. I would hate to come across as anti-therapeutic and "fakey" beyond belief...and if so....sorry and I don't know why we are still here.

I can't help but to acknowledge the fragmentation to miniscule amounts that we have been forced to be. Sometimes it feels like every 3-5 words an other steps in. Talking about stepping...jut a few steps while walking an Other tries taking over- so we miss step and fight for body control. We are a weird site to see....if one knew. We just come across as weird.
with my system there was not talking in plurals (we, us, them, they...) my system was built to protect and follow the abusers code of do not tell. if any talk of we, us, them , they..... happened it would cause those around to ask things like who are you talking about, who is we,....and others things...

example in school if I had said we are going to go play (meaning my alters wanted to play on the playground) or we know the answer... the teacher would ask who is we, what do you mean by we you are only one person standing here.... the same on the home front it would have brought questions and noticing that the others were there if talking in the third person happened. so for my system none of that happened.
