Has anyone ever felt like the names of your personalities must remain a secret?
One of my personalities doesn't like anyone beside me and the others knowing or saying his name and feels that if just anyone uses it or worse yet if someone in my family uses it that he will have to change it to something else as if it had become tainted or something. I've also noticed that I feel this same way about all of my personalities and that's part of the reason that we don't let anyone know our names. It's as if if anyone in my family were to find out, my entire system would be destroyed and we would all cease to function or completely loose our mind.
Does any of this sound familiar to anyone else? I have been this way since I was a small child. It's the same way with other words that are important to me on a sexual level too like stuff that I'm into. It's weird and hard to explain. Could this be connected with sexual abuse maybe?
