with some difficulty today, realized that as a system, we find it hard to relate to people who are singletons. while they may sincerely want to know your "mental" status, the rudeness of these people sometimes will threaten to overwhelm those of us who have many presences within. Questions like "how many personalities do you have?" are a serious breach of "political correctness". Not only is it not their business, there is a macabre sense of stupidity. Would I ask a complete stranger "how many heads do you have?" if I see they have more than one? You may think that a stupid question, but it is the same kind of question those who are living with themselves ask to those living with many others. When will they learn that their questions do more harm than good? How much would it take for one of our angry alters to lash out at them and reduce them to a pile of sniffling rubble, wondering where they went wrong? Not much for us, and we are tired of the questions. If you have questions, go look up what the disorder is, and you can find out anything you might ever want to know. DON'T ask something that you are neither prepared for intellectually or emotionally. DON'T expect to get something for nothing. And don't be so crass as to make fun of those who have many. It was to their advantage that they survived in that way. And they are alive today, not wanting to have to answer a bunch of stupid questions that shouldn't be asked in the first place. Don't believe me, but ask everyone else around you. Would you find it intrusive if you were asked something personal about yourself that you would not even tell a friend, only this is an online person? We would, we do, and we do not ask unless first it is offered. Why can't they get a life and leave us alone? All they have to do is let the here and now be the here and now, not the past becoming the present. Can you tell I am peeved?
