mightyflyingtacos.... you asked me where you had wrote in the third person.... if you reread your first post you will find this paragraph....
But 2 of my entries are weird. The tone is kinda cold and disconnected. The entries read kinda like... Apathetic? But then it says things such as "I need to do this and that. My room is a mess. We should organize." And then later in the entry it says something like: "I am watching MSNBC because it is what she would normally do. I am watching it because that is what she likes to watch. I am attempting to enjoy myself like her. I am bored and change the channel"
writing in third person means you used the term we, she instead of using the wording I...
She likes to watch tv, what she would normally do, we should organize it,....
this is called talking in third person because no one else can see the alters inside, they see the body, not the alters, so when someone talks about their self in plurals its called talking in third person.
its nothing strange because even normal people sometimes refer to their self as we, they , she , he and so on, but in me I rarely did this because it would have pointed people to ask me who is she, who is we, why are you calling yourself she, we, they all those third person plurals.
let me give you an example of what i had meant...
if I had wrote in my therapy journal... she likes to watch tv... my therapist would have asked me who is she, who likes to watch tv, the result would be my alter has been exposed which would cause my alter that follows the do not tell rule to self injure the body, try and commit suicide and other harmful things to punish for telling.
thats what I meant in saying I did not write in third person. if I had wrote what you posted you wrote in your journal, I would have been harmed because of the abuser rule of do not tell. it was about me not you.
