Yeah, sort of. I think every person is really more than one person. It's like we have many different instincts and intelligencies inside us all acting independently of each other, and trying to push us in different directions, but we can't see it clearly because we take it for granted that there's only one 'I'. When one particular instinct 'takes over', the person can become obsessed with something while ignoring every other aspect of his life. In my experience, when one element seems to go missing, it's because some other element got stronger and pushed the first element in the background. So I would ask you, has there been any significant change in your life lately?

Pr0bably lost a parasite op

Funny you brought this up. I've been feeling a similar way lately. I used to shitpost like crazy on some other image boards and had a well established character as far as humor goes. I can't even remember how to post like I used to post. I can barely bring myself to joke around online anymore. It's not like I've grown real serious either. Maybe I'm just burned out of it all but it still brings this strange feeling over me to look back at myself, as though I've lost part of my personality.

Well, I recently left home with no plan and drove like 3000 miles to another state. Found a place to stay. Looking for a job now. The people that I ended up renting with are pretty dangerous IMO, I won't go into the details but I'll probably have to leave here as soon as I have an income - I'm thinking about 2 months from now. There's a bunch of other stuff too but that's probably the most relevant information.

That sounds very much like a situation that would require a person to momentarily forget about any potentially destructive personality quirk in order to focus on survival. In other words, you're experiencing a sudden radical shift in priorities that doesn't allow this part of your personality to take a leading role in your mind. Whatever is coordinating the different forces that exist inside you, has decided that for now, 'he' can't come out to play - not until your life has gone back to a more stable state of things.

So you're saying that our conscious persona is essentially a group of tulpas working together?

Now the desire to kill oneself and to assassinate, poison, obliterate or rape others is generally considered in the psychiatric profession as "unhealthy" Bad. Evil. More accurately, sin. When you have the desire to kill yourself, you are supposed to see and `accept it,' but not, for Christ's sake, to kill yourself. If you desire to have carnal knowledge of a helpless teenybopper, you are supposed to accept your lust, and not lay a finger on even her big toe. If you hate your father, fine but don't slug the bastard with a bat. Understand yourself, accept yourself, but do not be yourself.
