The Many Faces of You

I have often times wondered this and many of those that I was lucky enough to question would say that multi-personalities are not possible and would require medical attention for those who display them. Since I am not an expert in this field, or too many others to be honest, I do not know but I surmise that all of us have different faces that we show at different times and depending on the situation we are in. These different faces may just be those different personalities of which we speak of today.

It is my opinion that many of our different faces/personalities are driven by emotions. Another essential element of these differences is surroundings. I say that purely based on my observations of people in different surroundings and within different emotions as well as myself on several occasions. I watched this show where this young lady was to have about 16 different personalities within one body, each with a different name and neither really connected to each other. It would take a particular stimulus to activate the different personalities and the majority of the time this stimulus was of the outside variety. The difference between that and of which I speak is that all of our personalities have the same name in the same body and are constantly connected one to another. There may be some personalities that require an outside stimulus but mostly I think that stimulus comes from within. In the movie it appeared that sometimes this lady would not be able to control the switch from one to another as well as not be able to recall the actions of them when they emerged. I think that we are different in that way as well.

The reason that I think emotions are the primary driver behind the switch is when we are in a bad mood, we tend to growl at any and all who we perceive may be impeaching us from proceeding where we wish to go. Sometimes rightly but most often wrongly. Yet as quickly as we bark at them, we can turn right around and make a soulful and honest apology for our actions (remorse). Each emotion could be a different personality which lives inside of all of us and may only be displayed while that emotion is paramount. The reason I say surroundings is that one may have shown others a fun-loving personality for many years but bring them around or into a situation where they may have experienced pain, rejection or discomfort in any way and that fun-loving person may turn into someone that you may not have seen before.

Again this is all speculation and I do not have any concrete proof at all. It is strictly based on watching people and monitoring my own actions over these years. I am not an expert nor do I play one on television. It is just my humble opinion and I could be wrong but what if I am right?
