There really is no such thing as 'Multipual Personality Disorder," as when a person exhibits different "personalities" unknown to each other. (See "Deconstructing Sybil," by ? for details.) "Sybil," was a concocted fraud by the doctor who wrote the book by the same title. Many criminals have attempted employ the fraudalent M.P.D. excuse, like one of the "Hillside Strangelers" from the 1970's, Kenneth B? We do have MANY fragments to our personalities. This is known as the "acquired self," or ego. The ego is not real, but we believe it is. We believe that our survival depends on it. Until we dispense with the ego, the "world" will remain exactly as it us. The problem-with the exception of our physical survival-is NOT "out there," it is "in here."
If one fakes pretending, surely some "effort" is being put into that act to be credible? And if one fakes bicycle-riding by just moving legs round & round in a sofa, is just doing it in the mind a lesser faking act? Surely its just different types of faking? Either one fakes or ones does not, on/off? Case closed, for sure..
Yeah actual effort is being put into the pretending, you can just do it for real and then you dont have to pretend its easier that way isnt that what the quote is saying? not sure.
“Ok. You fuck me, then snub me. You love me, you hate me. You show me a sensitive side, then you turn into a total asshole. Is this a pretty accurate description of our relationship."
Narrator: If you could fight any celebrity, who would you fight? Tyler: Alive or dead? Narrator: Doesn't matter, who'd be tough? Tyler: Hemingway. You? Narrator: Shatner. I'd fight William Shatner.
What does 'Just saying' at the end of a sentence mean? Does it mean anything? Is it an apology for making an observation? Is it an American thing? Just asking...
But what about those of us who can slip on the feelings and thoughts of Love, or Anger or Concern or Coldness with an easy congruence and experience some pleasured interest from a distance? These are tools for us. Perhaps we are kin. Or perhaps 'researchers' understand so little of the possibilities of behaviour and the brain.
There's an episode of Judge Judy where these kids make up a fake story to get on TV and a free trip to LA. They get put up in hotels and end up winning $1000. It is the best episode ever. Here is a link:

ReplyDeleteA socio cannot skip faking by being real: he does not know much about the condition he mimics? So he has to pretend by not doing the thing.
DeleteI donno how I do it but i do.... just trusting myself... sticking to what works.. its different with every person.
