Multiple Personalities Support Group
Dissociative identity disorder is a diagnosis described as the existence in an individual of two or more distinct identities or personalities, each with its own pattern of perceiving and interacting with the environment. At least two of these personalities are considered to routinely take control of the individual's behavior, and there is also some associated memory loss,...
Does anyone else get that where other people either feel closer to you than you do to them (which sends up creepy red flags) or you feel closer to them than they do to you (which feels very sad and isolating)?
I have a friend that we've been small talk friends for years and years. We're just now getting to deepening the relationship and he said he thinks he likes me more than I like him (which I find hard to believe).
And I feel like we're closer than he feels we are.
But I find myself feeling really sad tonight. I feel like I work hard at relationships but people tell me that they feel they like me more than I like them. I value my relationships SO SO much but it doesn't seem to come through.
Am I alone here?

I have times where I feel so energized and healthy - I get out and do a lot of stuff and have a "normal" life.
Then I have times like this where I just want to crawl under the covers and feel like I could sob for a few years.
Then I have times like this where I just want to crawl under the covers and feel like I could sob for a few years. " .. and sometimes that can happen suddenly in the middle of something.. a switch. Like Pollyanna gets out there and all of a sudden Janis yanks her back. Or Alice goes on an adventure and gets herself in trouble and the Protector shuts her up and sends her to her room.
And for this - " i get that way too, i dnt know if people mean good or not, its hard for me to process any type of attention.." .. it's hard for me to read social cues too. The signals in my family were not normal and I did't learn the ones for our society, and I get paranoid-like, and I don't know how to act in social situations, really.. well, Polly does but that doesn't count, cuz she just acts stooped. (who said that? .. well, it's true.. no, people like her smile... you mean silly grin)
well, that happens.. I'm like the Three Stooges all by myself sometimes.
.
and that post.. three or four parts arguing.. I feel more comfortable here now so we can just be. Before, when it was hostile I had to keep them quiet and only Researcher, Protector, and Alice could come.. sometimes maybe Janis, or sometimes Polly, but that was different. This time we are all, almost all, here. it's kinda like umm a committee meeting.. lol I don't agree with myself, but am not so much warring with each part like used to. I think my parts have come to respect each other more, and not try to dominate and squash each other.
Well, I'm on a tangent again. Most people, see, in a social situation, would just start looking at me funny, like I'm not making sense. oh, well.
