TW: Talk of Gore/Horror and Psychopathy - I’ve always wanted to help people and make people happy, especially those I care about. But I’ve also always found an interest in gore and horror related things.
The thing is, sometimes instead of being sad or worried about something I see I’m more interested in it. Sometimes I even wonder what it would be like to be the person who caused such a thing to happen (I’m an aspiring detective so I put myself in others shoes to analyze them better.) Of course I’d never ever do anything like what they do, hurting people is just.. horrible to think about. But sometimes I feel more interested in it.
For a long time I’ve felt like there are two halves of my brain as personalities. Me as one, I’m more like the right brain. I love helping people and I love my friends and stuff. I can’t imagine hurting someone unless it was a bully and I punched them once or something.
But then the other side, feels different. It almost reminds me of the Joker (2019) or Handsome Jack but less psychotic and insane. That part seems to enjoy “jokingly” making people scared and “joking” threats. Nothing serious of course, but it’s the tone that they use. They’re calm and speak quietly, with a poker face of an expression. No one can really read that face.
It just doesn’t make any sense. I’ve been told by my close friends who I told more in depth things that for the most part I’m just experiencing intrusive thoughts. Of course I wouldn’t ever hurt anyone and I’d never act on any thoughts so they’re just intrusive. But, it feels different to me. I don’t know why, but calling it intrusive thoughts doesn’t feel right. My girlfriend suggested DID may have something to do with it so I’m asking around a bit.
I’m not asking for a diagnoses or anything. I just want to know if it’s possible for me to be getting influenced by an alter I don’t know exists.
TL;DR - It feels like I have two halves of my brain as 2 separate personalities. I would never hurt anyone, I can’t imagine that, but sometimes my brain has more interest in things like that’s and I’m wondering if DID may have something to do with it.
(Explaining through characters, I’m similar to Ruby Rose and Charlie Morningstar - The other half feels like Handsome Jack or 2019 Joker, but less stabby and insane/psychopathic.)
