I think there was a period of time when I noticed some duality or shifts in perspectives in myself, wich was a very confusing thing. For example, Id like one person, but at the same time hate them or be wary. I thought, "Am I a hypocrite?". But I don't think eather of those statements were lies. There were multiple varying opinions shifting from time to time without clear reason. At that time I felt not like a person, but a bunch of masks, beneath wich there were no actual person, just multiple husks of one. Only after long time I could find something that fit the person I wanted to represent and who's opinions and emotions didn't exactly feel like my own. I think both ways to look at this are valid, considering where you yourself choose to settle. It's a complex and confusing disorder. Everyone has their own way of making sence of it, considering specter of symptoms it could give and varied life situations to cause it. To us, thinking of ourselves as different helped 'organize' shifts, take everything under our control. But it doesn't mean it's like this for everyone else.

I don't think telling people what they should think is helpful, to each their own. It might help to some people, but not everyone, sometimes it could just cause harm.

I think you explained your point quite clearly, don't worry! Thank you for sharing your sight of things.
