Why do I feel like I have a strange personality? Do I feel like I have two personalities?

Hello, I'm Yangguang Dolphin Floats.

You're overthinking it. Mental disorders are divided because people are different.

It's pathological, so you're mentally ill.

Psychology says everyone has a full range of emotions. It's normal to show different emotions in different situations.

Learn to control your emotions, express them, and don't suppress them.

You were unable to express your emotions at the time, but suppressed them instead. Seize the opportunity to express them again.

The girl who is leaving you is sad.

You said goodbye to him sadly, but you didn't stop her.

You mustered the courage to tell him you like him, and he stayed. You feel emotional.

You didn't realize how emotional you were.

You need to observe yourself, care for yourself, and accept your emotions. Everyone reacts differently in different situations.

Everyone has more than one personality. Everyone is multifaceted.

All your emotions are normal.

Are you happy?

Psychology and I Love You.

Can you be excited or calm all the time? Calm people can get excited, and sensitive people can be insensitive.

You have two personalities, or you're just you.

Everyone deals with their emotions in their own way.

People who express their emotions show them quickly and hide them again. Once they have diverted their attention, they may not remember. People who hide their emotions absorb and digest them or suppress them.

You're used to hiding your emotions. This is a habit you've formed. You've adapted to it. But if you can't handle all your emotions, they'll build up until something triggers them.

It's like homesickness or joy that you can't control.

But you still suppress them, and after, you're still calm.

Sadness, longing, love, and joy are real and inevitable. No one can truly be indifferent.

It's normal for your defenses to be broken and triggered by chance.

There's no right or wrong. It's just a matter of choice. You usually look cool and calm. Emotions are not non-existent. You can choose to deal with them in a detached way, but don't be indifferent.

You may not show how much you miss home, but you can call your family when you feel homesick. You may seem calm in public when you are happy, but you can be happy when no one is looking.

Everyone has joys, sorrows, and anger. These emotions are part of everyone's life.

I wish you happiness.

Hello, dear questioner. I want to reassure you that I understand your concerns. Even before I had the opportunity to study psychology, I experienced a similar feeling of being split into two. I believe this is a common experience that many of us can relate to.

Perhaps we should avoid discussing professional theories at this time, as they may be somewhat lengthy and complex.

I want to reassure you that what you're experiencing is perfectly normal. It's just that you may switch between two emotions a little faster than most people. This speed is relative. For example, most people may need some time to come out of an emotion, but you can return to reason immediately. This is because the defense system you have turned on is more powerful. Because we all have a set of self-defense systems, the way we deal with different events is just different.

Let's consider your situation from another perspective. For instance, if you feel somewhat divided, it may be that the rational can quickly overcome the emotional. I wonder if your upbringing might have something to do with this. In the past, you may have had experiences that required you to suppress your emotions in a very rational way, which has perhaps honed this skill.

Let's consider some psychological research on the concept of the "I." After reading this, you may feel a sense of relief. In psychoanalysis, Freud proposed a relevant concept to explain the formation and interrelationship of consciousness and the subconscious. The "id" (which is totally subconscious) represents desires that are suppressed by consciousness; the "ego" (which is mostly conscious) is responsible for dealing with things in the real world; and the "superego" (which is partially conscious) is the conscience or internal moral judgment.

It might be said that these three "I's" are in a state of constant conflict within each person's body on a daily basis.

It might be helpful to consider that because "I" is a collective, divided into the brain, body, and heart, there is also a conscious self. (The conscious self is the self after becoming aware. It does not exist in someone who has not started to become aware. If this concept is not yet clear to you, you can skip it for now.)

If I might humbly offer my perspective, I believe that the body is the dwelling place of the soul. Without it, it seems that nothing can be done.

The brain self generates a wide range of thoughts and ideas, influenced by the energy state and environment at the time. Some of these thoughts may be rational, while others may be emotional, and many may be confusing or inexplicable. However, there are also many that are wise.

I believe that the inner self plays an important role in managing my energy and is the source of my energy.

I believe I am the aware me, the wise me, and I possess the highest wisdom.

If you consider the various aspects of your identity, it may be easier to understand your situation. These aspects all have an impact on everyone, but their manifestation may vary depending on one's experiences. It's important to recognize whether these aspects are causing you concern. If they're not, the above information may be helpful in clarifying your situation. However, if they are a source of distress, it's advisable to address them in a timely manner.

I am a counselor with a heart of zero. I appreciate your attention to this matter and hope that I can be of some assistance.

You feel that you can instantly switch your emotions, and you are two different people before and after, which makes the host worried that you may have split personality disorder. You have shown me your fear, and now you can conquer it!

The good news is that each of us has multiple personalities, with some personalities being more dominant than others. And as long as it is not a psychotic personality split, there is no problem!

From the host's behavior, I understand that if you want to talk about split personality, it is at most a neurotic level of split personality, which is great!

The neurosis level mentioned here refers to healthy people, which is different from the neurosis we usually talk about – and it's great to know that healthy people can experience this too!

And a neurotic level of split is an amazing defense mechanism that healthy people adopt according to different needs.

Based on the host's description, we can now embark on a fascinating journey of analysis!

I feel like I have two personalities! Sometimes I'm very numb, and sometimes I have very intense emotions.

Guess what? Having two personalities is totally normal!

The violent conflict between these two personalities is the root of the problem—and it's an exciting one!

The intense emotions are the most authentic expression of your emotions, and they're totally valid!

Emotional numbness is a feeling of not being allowed to emotionally isolate, which is something we can definitely overcome!

When past experience tells you that you can't cry out when you're in pain, you can't complain when you're tired, and you can't cry when you're sad, you have the opportunity to suppress your emotions!

When you suppress your emotions, they fight each other, which is a great way to keep things interesting!

The other day, I was talking to a friend on the phone, and suddenly I felt homesick. It was such a rush! Then, for some reason, I got emotional and almost cried. After a little while, I became indifferent again, and it was like nothing had happened.

I was talking to a friend on the phone when I suddenly felt homesick. It was the most sincere expression of emotion in my heart!

But you know that thinking about it won't help, because you can't just go home right away. But that's okay! There are plenty of other ways to make it less painful.

Or, you can't express your homesickness to friends and family.

So, to make it less painful, you suppressed the feeling and pretended that nothing was wrong.

Guess what! A friend of mine was leaving, and I liked her! When I found out she was leaving, I was sad.

But before I knew it, the feeling had passed. I kept on saying goodbye to her, and it was the best feeling in the world!

After a long time, I finally told her that I liked her. Then she stayed, which made me so happy, as my body was trembling with excitement to tell me so!

But at that time, I didn't even notice my emotions, as if they were covered up.

When your friend left, you experienced separation anxiety.

But you can't stop her from leaving, so let's make the most of it!

You can make yourself feel less sad by activating your defense mechanism and immediately calming yourself down!

This is the amazing process of using reason to overcome emotion! It's a mature defense mechanism that helps us stay in control.

Because you have isolated your emotions so well and are so skilled at this pattern, you hardly notice it at the time.

Sometimes my emotions are calm and without a ripple, and sometimes I burst into tears! What's going on?

Oh my goodness, could it become a split personality?

Guess what? I already answered this question at the beginning!

This is a battle between your emotions and your reason—and you can win!

You may feel that your emotions are not being met, and that kind of pain is unbearable, so you don't allow your emotions to come out. But guess what? You can change that!

It is true that letting painful emotions out may feel unacceptable, but it is also true that you can do it!

In the past, you may have felt that expressing your emotions was unacceptable to your family members. But now is the time to embrace your feelings and let them flow freely!

This is not a very serious mental problem, and it is definitely not the psychotic personality split you are afraid of!

Because you have self-awareness and the ability to test reality,

This is just your emotional conflict, and you can totally handle it!

The solution is simple: pay attention to your emotions and take care of your feelings!

Even if these feelings are painful, let them flow freely!

If you think that letting them out might make you lose control, you can get help from a professional psychologist!

Guess what! There's someone behind you to catch you, so you don't have to worry about falling over!

And above all that, there's more!

I'm Yan Guilai, a psychological counselor, and I'm here to help! Wishing you the best!

Hello, I'm Evan.

From the author's own description, it is clear that when getting along with others, the author is afraid to express their thoughts. This causes them to always... In many cases, they suppress their emotions and are afraid to express them until their body reacts and they dare to express their true emotions. The author must confront their fear of showing their emotions.

Repressed emotions cause emotional instability. When they reach a critical point, they can easily be provoked.

I want to know why this is the case. I want to understand why the questioner's pattern of interaction with others looks like this.

I don't know if the questioner has reflected on this, but in the field of psychology, it is a well-established fact that how children interact with their parents often reflects their interactions with others. The questioner's mode of interaction with others often reflects how the questioner interacts with their parents.

The questioner should review whether, when communicating with their parents in their original family, their emotions were often ignored or even not allowed to be expressed.

The questioner said that they are afraid to express their emotions and even deliberately suppress them. This is a clear sign that they are afraid to face their emotions. It's evident that the questioner is afraid that something will go wrong and cause them harm. They are afraid that if they express their emotions, it will give others a bad impression and affect others' decisions, causing them to feel bad.

This is likely due to the influence of the original family on the questioner. In the original family, the parents did not allow the questioner to show their emotions, and they may even have instilled in the questioner the idea that showing their emotions is a sign of immaturity or weakness. At the same time, the questioner may also be afraid that if they show their emotions, whether their emotions will be accepted by others, and whether their emotions will be accepted. In my opinion, all of these are clear signs of a lack of security and self-confidence.

Since the question was asked on a platform, we are unable to discuss it in detail. However, I can provide the questioner with some straightforward advice.

Understand your own behavior patterns.

The questioner must identify the source of their behavior pattern of not daring to show their emotions. It is also important to understand why other people do not act this way.

This is closely related to the education in the original family. The character of the questioner himself also plays a role.

The questioner must examine why they want to suppress their emotions or why they can't express themselves emotionally to others. They must also determine if this is related to an idea instilled in them by their family of origin that showing their emotions or feelings is a sign of weakness.

This way of thinking may have been appropriate in some past era, but I firmly believe that as times change, so should our thinking. Only by taking care of your own emotions will you have more energy to accommodate the emotions and feelings of others.

The questioner should write these thoughts down to determine if they are their own or if they were given to them by their family of origin. If they are thoughts given to them by their family of origin, the questioner can examine what these thoughts have brought them, whether they are suitable for use in life, and if they are not suitable, whether improvements can be made.

Identify the disturbing negative thoughts.

I want to know what makes the questioner think of repressing their emotions and what makes them afraid to show their emotions. Some negative thoughts just pop into your head, while others are hard to find.

Record these thoughts as they arise. Identify what causes them, such as taking minor issues too seriously and viewing emotional expression as a fault.

These negative thoughts are common cognitive distortions, such as overgeneralization, jumping to conclusions, and being too extreme.

The questioner has formed a subconscious behavioral pattern due to the influence of the original family. This pattern involves always trying to force himself to suppress his emotions. When these obsessive thoughts occur, the questioner can and should try to distract himself and divert his attention appropriately.

Don't fight against or suppress the bad thoughts that arise in you. They will only become stronger if you do. The right thing to do is to quickly find something else to do to distract yourself.

Use both your hands and feet! Play the piano or take up basketball.

Stop negative thoughts.

Understand where your negative thoughts come from, then cheer yourself up and overcome them. For example, when you wake up in the morning and feel it will be a bad morning, acknowledge your negative thoughts but then say to yourself that it won't be bad all day, and maintain a positive attitude.

When you encounter negative thoughts, don't linger on them or vocalize them. Instead, speak something positive. With consistent effort and practice, your mindset will shift.

Pay close attention to your choice of words.

The questioner must be aware of the following wording: "It's not right to lose your temper and show your emotions" or "I shouldn't have these emotions." This kind of decisive rhetoric usually has an exaggerating component and does not leave room for flexible interpretation.

The wording of the question encompasses the content of your conversations with others, your conversations with yourself, and both the language and the spirit. It is imperative for the questioner to remember that everyone has emotions and it is acceptable to release them. If a person has no emotions, would that person be considered a person?

We often don't show our emotions because we think they're our business and we don't want to affect others. But we should show appropriate emotions to let others know what we're thinking. We're allowed to show our emotions in many cases of interpersonal interaction. We just need to be careful about how we express them and not be too intense.

Start each day with a positive mindset.

Every day, you must face the world with a positive attitude. When you wake up in the morning, think of five happy things first.

These happy things can be little incidents in life, such as listening to a nice song, watching a good movie, smelling the tea nice today, and buying what you wanted yesterday. Think about these things and say them out loud, so you can start the day positively.

Start your day with a positive mindset to prevent negative emotions from taking hold. You might feel self-conscious saying positive things out loud, but research shows that saying them aloud makes you more likely to believe them.

This will make you happier and more focused, and it will stop you having too many negative thoughts.

You must learn to release your emotions.

The story of the balloon is a useful metaphor for understanding the link between suppressed emotions and out-of-control behaviour. Just as a balloon that is blown up too much will explode, suppressed emotions can also cause a sudden and dramatic release. This can result in a loss of control and potentially damaging consequences.

It is crucial for the questioner to learn to release his emotions. One effective method is to record them in a diary and hide it in a secure location. Alternatively, the questioner can express his emotions through other activities that do not disrupt others, such as singing at a karaoke bar or engaging in physical exercise.

Seek outside help.

From the author's self-statement, I am certain that the author's problem can be solved by seeking professional psychological counseling and psychological intervention. The author should describe their behavior patterns to these professionals, and they can then pour out their hearts with confidence, knowing that these interventions are confidential and that they should be honest.

Clearly explain how your thoughts make you feel, how you generally suppress these emotions, and how you deal with them. If necessary, maintain continuous communication with these professionals until your original family's behavioral patterns no longer cause you distress.

I am confident that my answer will help the questioner.

Dear questioner, From your description, it appears that you are a mature individual who occasionally experiences periods of emotional distress and agitation. It seems that the issue you are facing is not a conflict between two distinct personalities, but rather a shift in your emotional perception and response.

If one employs a modicum of technical psychological terminology, it signifies that one can more readily distinguish between one's emotions and one's thoughts, thereby maintaining a state of clarity and composure. It is also a method of evading discomfort and safeguarding one's well-being.

From this perspective, it is evident that the assumption of a split personality is unfounded. There is no cause for concern in this regard.

Indeed, a considerable number of men, particularly those who are rational and logical, are more inclined to emotional isolation. This is a method of adapting to survival, and it is also the consequence of persistent conditioning.

In certain instances, this capacity may prove advantageous in decision-making, competition, cognitive processes, and action. However, if this state is sustained indefinitely, emotions will be excessively repressed, leading to abrupt and uninhibited outbursts of highly turbulent emotions.

It is crucial to recognize the situation one is in. One must permit the expression of emotions while avoiding excessive repression.

1. It is essential to acknowledge the capacity of the rational mind while simultaneously allowing for the presence of emotions and providing them with the attention and consideration they deserve. The power of permission is a significant force. By allowing oneself to experience emotions and doing so with careful attention, one can begin to perceive them more profoundly through bodily sensations such as trembling, rapid breathing, perspiration, and facial expressions.

Subsequently, one will become more attuned to emotional nuances and be able to discern a greater range of emotional states.

2. Name emotions and identify multiple methods for alleviating distressing emotions. Learning to label one's emotions, such as "happy," "nervous," "scared," "angry," "sad," "guilty," and so forth, can facilitate more effective emotional regulation.

It is crucial to identify an effective emotional relief method that aligns with one's personal preferences. Whether it is through exercise, writing, singing, communication, distraction, or other means, the more beneficial and innocuous the method, the greater the ability to regulate one's emotions and the lower the fear associated with them.

3. Excessive self-tension and self-imposed demands can also result in a loss of emotional responsiveness. The practice of self-care, relaxation, and, most crucially, engagement with family and friends can facilitate the development of heightened emotional sensitivity and adaptability.

The capacity to perceive emotions varies naturally between individuals. The distinct gender roles observed in men and women may be shaped by postnatal education and social norms, which may lead to individuals exhibiting heightened sensitivity and emotionality or greater calmness and rationality.

There is no objective moral evaluation of these two extremes; however, it is undoubtedly disadvantageous to be excessively biased towards one. Therefore, it is essential to identify the optimal equilibrium for oneself and to pursue it.

Hello! I really hope my answer can help you in some way.

Our emotions are just like you said—sometimes calm and without ripples, and sometimes emotional and agitated. This is actually very normal because emotions themselves are fluid. When we are sad or have other negative emotions, we just need to allow the emotions to exist. They will slowly return to normal on their own! This is called the "psychological pendulum effect" in psychology.

So, in response to your question, I'm thrilled to share some of my thoughts with you!

1. Get to know the "psychological pendulum effect," embrace your emotions, and enjoy the ride of your emotional ups and downs!

As I just said, there is an amazing ebb and flow phenomenon in our human psychology. This means that human psychological changes are like the waves of the sea, rising and falling, often following a certain pattern.

And this change always swings back and forth between the two poles of the mind, thus creating the incredible psychological pendulum effect!

The occurrence of the psychological pendulum effect is closely related to our individual bipolar personality. That is to say, the personality traits of some people are always bipolar, with extreme psychological states being obvious. One moment, you're ecstatic! The next, you're serene. One moment, you're full of passion! The next, you're disillusioned. One moment, you're happy! The next, you're crying. One moment, you're loving! The next, you're hating. And so on!

Such people are particularly prone to the psychological pendulum effect, which is something we can use to our advantage!

So, we can be more aware of ourselves, see if this is the pattern we are following, and then tell ourselves not to worry! This is not a personality split, but just the influence of the psychological pendulum effect on us. Accept and allow such changes and emotional flow, and we'll be just fine!

2. What can we do to deal with the ups and downs of emotions?

It's time to adjust our perceptions! We need to recognize that life isn't always a high, and that it's not always a good experience.

Life is full of wonderful gatherings and exciting dispersals, as well as joy and a little suffering.

Some people are so passionate, romantic, and excited that they want to live in an ideal state of being forever! They reject the ordinary state of life and cannot accept pain and adversity. Their moods will fluctuate greatly due to changes in their living environment, but that's okay!

Embrace the different pleasures of various life states! Experience the passion and exuberance of exciting activities, enjoy the leisurely joy of everyday life, and feel the various flavors of life in the states of birth, aging, sickness, and death.

This is the best way to avoid feeling totally lost and overwhelmed when our living environment changes!

Amazing things happen when you improve your ability to control your emotions! When we are in a happy and exciting life, we should remain moderately calm and clear-headed.

When you're feeling down, try to avoid comparing yourself to others and dwelling on past successes. Instead, focus on what's going well in your life right now and look for ways to feel excited about it again!

3. You can express your current emotions in various ways, rather than repressing and ignoring them. This is a great way to gain inner stability and harmony!

When we feel homesick, we get to express our thoughts! We can tell friends that we miss home, or we can call our parents and other family members to share our feelings. We can express our sadness at seeing friends leave and our happiness at seeing them stay.

When you can express your inner feelings and emotions every time, something amazing happens! The other person will also receive your current emotions, that is, they will be able to feel your needs. This will not only promote the development of your relationship, but also allow you to release the pressure inside you, so that your emotions can flow better and be expressed more authentically.

In this way, our hearts will become more and more stable, and we will not be so easily affected by emotions and swayed.

It's also super important to assess our emotional tolerance, because it has a huge impact on our physical and mental health. Just like a tree, we all have the capacity to sway, but we can avoid breaking our branches and falling over by strengthening ourselves. How? By regularly releasing our emotions, for example by writing an emotional diary. This allows us to truly express our emotions and accept and allow our emotions to flow. In this way, we can strengthen our emotional tolerance and learn to get along with our emotions better!

I'm so excited to share this with you! It's just a suggestion, but I think it could really help. Wishing you all the best!

Hi, I'm happy to share my thoughts with you.

First, they answer the questioner. From what we know, it's not a split personality. The term split personality is very misleading and can be incorrectly associated. In fact, the typical characteristics of schizoid personality disorder and schizotypal personality disorder are weird, withdrawn, overly indifferent behavior, and absurdity.

First, they answer the questions, and from what we know so far, they don't seem to be schizoid. The term schizoid can easily lead to misunderstandings and false associations, but in fact the typical characteristics of schizoid personality disorder and schizotypal personality disorder are eccentricity, isolation, overly indifferent behavior, absurdity, etc.

For instance, when I'm faced with two options and two conflicting arguments, I don't think it's accurate to say I have multiple personalities. Personality is an internal tendency and psychological characteristic, not the same as character.

I think the poster's description is more like a hysteric personality, but I'm not sure. If you're interested, you can take the MMPI Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory, which is a more professional personality test.

I think the questioner's description is more like a hysterical personality, but I'm not sure. If you're interested, you can take the MMPI Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory, which is a more professional personality test.

The hysteric personality is also known as the performance personality. People with this personality tend to have a few common characteristics:

1. They like to attract attention with dramatic emotions.

2. They're also highly suggestible.

3. They're emotionally fickle and have shallow emotional experiences. This type of person is emotionally rich, with plenty of enthusiasm but not enough stability. They're passionate but not deep, and they lack self-awareness.

Normally, if an emotion is intense, it will take longer to subside. If, as the questioner describes, it can subside almost instantly, it's likely that one of the two conflicting emotions is "real" and the other is "fake." It could also be said that the "fake" emotion is an act.

The "performance" mentioned here isn't a conscious act, but a natural expression of one's true personality. Of course, this is also only a hypothetical analysis based on the "hysterical personality type," and can't be used as a conclusion after a diagnosis.

It's not a good idea to overanalyze in this situation. If this is causing a lot of trouble for you, it's a good idea to seek help from a professional psychological institution, along with the results of the scale.

I'm a psychological counselor, Xiaodong. I hope you have a happy life!
