I am two people.  it's hard to explain.  most of the time, I'm what people see.  However, there is someone else in me.  I think it's actually my older sibling, who died.

we even argue like siblings(except it doesn't have to be spoken, as we are in one body).  I mean I really feel him/her and he/she feels me.  but I admit, I'm the softer one, I don't like violence.  but he/she feels more the need to fight, to stand up and be counted.

I know there must be an explanation...should I turn myself in to specialists to examine this?  

I admit, I kept it to myself, but I'm sure I'm fine here on livewire, and no one will hurt me for being different.  this is actually the few occasions where normally my other self would intervene, but he/she isn't.  (maybe because he/she knows I'm making this annonymous, and knows the reaction this post will recieve).  

But if it truely is "oversoul"...as I heard someone else call it, what does it mean?  can we really have a reason that two souls exist in one body?

I am currently writing a paper on multiple personalities or now called dissociative Identity disorder. I believe that indeed what you have may be that and that you should seek medical treatment and psychological consultation if at all possible. It doesnt sound like this alter (what we call the other personality that isnt the host) is violent but irregardless to have ones consciousness splintered like this isnt a good thing, and you CAN regain full control of everything. IN most if not all cases of DID (dissociative identity disorder ) there is a trauma, your trauma could have been the loss of your older sibling. DID can manifest for anyone, as anyone, any age, any sex any race, anything. In most cases we create someone in our minds that we admire or respect, someone who we think can deal with a particular experience or situation that we cannot deal with. In this case you are shy or reserved and the alter is the side of you that isnt, he is more open and aggressive. Unless you are harmed by them, do not worry too much but do seek help where it is available, it isnt a disease, and you aren't crazy or anything. Good luck

hmm, I think it's more of balance with me.  I mean, I'm very passive, where he is the more aggressive one.  you'd think it'd be me(I know I've tried to rationalize it).  

but it's strange, I think he stopped intervening as often.  I think I should keep this to myself a bit longer until it's more accepted.  I don't want someone to tell me that I must ignore something thats a part of me, and even though we argue, we really are looking out for each other: I'm the diplomat, and he is the force(I stopped using "he/she", because I know it's a guy.  I used 'he/she' for neutrality reasons, but I figure it was me being stupidly equalist.  haha, he agrees, too.)

thanks for talking with me, I'm gonna look more of this multiple personality stuff.


Ok, that's cool. Hey, if you ever need anything or want to talk to me about it, feel free. You can trust that I will keep the confidentiality if you want me to. Good Luck!

I think I know what you're talking about....  
 It could be a possibility that you have multiple personality syndrom or something like it.... Or maybe you're just confused with yourself... That happens a lot to teenagers...

would both people be aware of each other with multiple personality syndrome?


In some cases, yes. It varies with different people, but there have been many cases where the person's body turned into a war zone because of the conflict between the different sides.

A specific case was when a girl had 2 other personalities besides her own. One was very shy and paranoid, one was evil and dangerous, and her normal personality was just that, very normal and balanced... She knew all along that there were "2 other people" there, but it never was a problem. The three personalities "got into an argument" and she couldn't control the situation. She told doctors that she was trying to get away from the evil one, because "she" was going to murder her.

what is funny, though, is my mother warned me against being honest about this.  but i say why not?  no one else seems to exhibit this type of thing.

he's really an okay person, as he would never do anything really rash.  if anything, he'd take over when things got tough, like a switchover that was too powerful to stop.
Anonymous Posted at 9:02 pm on Sep. 2, 2008
I know that I am me, as one whole, but I know the other part has a greater sense of control.  He can even take over sometimes, which I dislike.  He's too straightforward, and I sometimes wonder what is actually going through his head at times.(geez, I know I sound like a nutbag, but if there was an easier, more clearer way to say it, I'd do it).
