Thinking the words "you" and "we"

[yes]

I know I'm weird but I'm not crazy. I daily think the words "you" and "we", like "you should" da da da da, or "we should" blah blah blah blah I say in my head. I know it's not a split personality thing but I was doing this alot today so I wonder what your take on it is or even if you do it too or maybe if it's just an intrapersonal thing.

 

[Mello]

Hey, we do it too.

How interesting.... no I don’t do this although I have always through of myself as being two people... but yeah can you tell me more about this?

Openly laughing at internal jokes, check.
Talking to myself when alone, check.
Mentally telling the other me to shut up when he/I/we get condescending, check.
Making/setting verbal agreements/contracts/truces, check.
Trying to outthink myself, when I'm trying to outthink him too, double check.
Disturbing others with my seemingly random expression changes, check.
Ganging up on myself when I'm being unreasonable, check.
Being kept awake by my apparent inability to stop talking with myself, check.

I say "you", but never "we". There is no we, there is only us.

You? Yes, all the time.

We? That's just downright crazy. You should be pumped full of every anti-psychotic known to medicine while wrapped in a straightjacket and chained to a tree deep within the compound of some top secret government test site.

We?! You are clearly a danger to yourself and everyone around you. The way we I see it, you have two courses your life could take: In service to the nefarious aims of some criminal/government (redundant) agency OR you must be "disappeared" (read killed) with all records of you ever having existed purged.

We cannot allow your deviancy to go unhindered to possibly spread among the unsuspecting masses.

Hmmm I actually refer to myself in 3rd person quite a bit or by name (I use several different names I've collected over the years Kari, Kaedri, Ariel, and yes even Adaire, although each name all references the collective 'me' not individual parts of my psyche.)

I also tend to make little bets with myself to purposefully elicit a defiant response from myself in the future to keep me from or force me to do or believe certain things. You'd think this was voluntary, but once the particular thought/bet appears in my mind I can't banish it and always act with it in mind when the situation is relevant, that is until I find a loophole in my own thinking. Even then I'll sometimes feel guilty about it, thinking I cheated myself out of my own autocontract.

The inner self is also composed of it's divided population, such as in a city where there are traders and rulers. The city is the larger collective manifestation of an individual's being. So it makes sense to have "people" in your heads.

I have more people in me than you though. My city is more developed, more populated, more pronouns.

Yeah, well mine has better infrastructure.

See? It's like a treaty! We made it so we wouldn't argue. *twitch cackle*

The more I read this forum the more we feel I am being stalked and someone is just making all this up as a joke, well, we are not falling for it, we have discussed it many times, and they seem to think that it is not a joke, they said they haven't seen anyone following us, atleast not following us enough to be considered stalking. I've come to learn there is no point in arguing with them, they always win, they think it's funny. So do I. We find ourselves in trouble, then one more of us shows up, showing us the way out. We are becoming many, and many into one.

Cool, it's nice to know I'm not alone.

I know what you mean.

I'm more interested in why and how a tree got to be deep within a top secret government test site.

My voice or voices in my head aren't named because it is all me in my head. I'm not saying I'm any more or less weird than you but yeah, it's all me.

Sorry, I dont know you so believe me, I'm just talking about me but all are welcome to share their experiences.

Are you saying I'm possessed?

 

[Farion]

I think I tend to do something like this in a more roundabout manner, such as through daydreams with other characters.

...

However, for some reason I cannot think of an example either way right now. It's actually sort of strange, it's like a blanket has been put over my memories. You know, I think I actually do that to some extent, though I also suspect I'm blocking the memories of it from myself right now. Not very nice, I know. I'll be right back



Hmm... interesting. Yes I do this on occasion. (Still not sure about the "we" though. I think. I should go run now).

Edit: With the exception of the lightsaber fight, that was more or less serious. WHAT? Lightsaber is not a real word according to spell check!

 

[shadowdrums4]

Yeah I do. There are different versions of "me" that answer me. It's all me though. Like I could make the others disappear if I wanted, but I doubt I'd want to. I would get lonely. XP Sad but true. Hey imaginary friends when you are a kid are considered a good thing, why should that change when you get older? The only real difference is I know each one is actually me and they stay in my head. Actually I just finished playing a video game and throughout it I was saying "We got this, we got this, you got this" *other me* "You don't F***ing got this, you just died" *another other me* "Dang we're idiots" I think I was told once that it had something to do with Ne/Fe? I don't know.

I really want this. Bad.

I REALLY want this. I mean REALLY. I don't think you understand the meaning of REALLY, really. REALLY.

Spoiler

Really, when you think about it, really is a really weird word. Sort of like little, really.

I'm probably having a psychotic break right now. Not really sure though. I could just be tired.
