Okay, we are a multiple, I get it. But why can't everyone see that I mean well for us? All they see is me being me, so I don't smile or laugh much, am serious, motivated, strategic, focused, restless, always feel like my time can be better spent elsewhere, and yet not all that liked.

True, I also view myself as the greatest thing that ever happened to us and that I have all the answers, but that's no reason to get upset, you think?

Now that I know what it feels like trying to be outed- the pressure hasn't let up yet. I'm going to take us out for a run.

The adjectives you wrote are your alters, if I understood you correctly. Let them know they have to wait and the constraints of what you might be dealing with to get them experience isn't always possible. Tell them to get to your memories and let that serve as them doing it watch those memories inside. I know it is painful to be pulled in all different directions. Hang in there!

Aaah, there's a jealous/envious aspect to all this. I've always got to be out in life because I serve a crucial system service. I can't see where hanging out on a couch doing nails and make up and gabbing online all the time is very productive. I'll give them credit for reintroducing our system back into reality, but we got to get real because real life is paying bills, making money, future planning.

Some are just clueless.

It's just that your coldness comes across as meanness. It scares the littles. I'm sorry that you can't feel empathy, but that's what we are here for. It's not all about you and that only you are going to save the day, it takes all of us. We just wish you would realize this and not fight everyone thinking that you are absolutely right and that its your way or no way. We need a family counselor. Thanks for sharing though, you ARE warming up!

I'm sorry to drag our inner drama across the www. Like privy was really a big concern for us! Lol

Getting it out there has always been therapeutic, it feels more real than keeping it privately unreal.
