I come back to, when i notice people are taking notice...
I think it could be a slight disorder of torets... I'm very reclusive and secluded but, i have a alter ego when im on stage. Performing my music. the name of this charicter is Nyse. he is very loud brash and unpredictable... now that I think about it... those arguments in my head must be between me(michael) and that Nyse charicter... yea Im kuh-razy I know... but im just keeping it real  Are you just messing with me? 
If not, I actually find this interesting... particularly the full-on arguments. nah, im not messing with you... lol sometimes i feel like there is a charicter in my head taughting me or egging me on to get upset. and it works... i end up screaming at the voice in my head aloud. other times i just say random things to that charicter... I could be watching a movie with a friend... it would be quiet for 45min, and out of no where i would say something like... "Forget every one"... and my friend would say "what, are you talking to me". I say, "no, i just do that from time to time". over time the people in my life tend to understand its just something i do. the best way to describe it would be an involuntary muscle movement with in my subconscious mind | |

 Of course not. I think ALL human beings rely on escapism one way or another(whether its a result of trauma or not),,,this is just one form of it. But on the other hand, it has its degrees. | |

Brilliant thread. I love the concept of alter egos, looking at them as my own personal Camilles. I like myself okay but it's fun to put on figurative masks and say shocking things that would be just too out of character in real life. My Org identity as GottaLetitgo, which is closest to who I really am I guess, has no real strong distinguishing features. I would just define myself as a garden variety decent guy, far away from perfect, decent sense of humor, non-controversial, not overly memorable. I mean, I lift right out. If I left the Org tomorrow, there would be no threads going "Where's GottaLetitgo" but I've come to peace with that. I get a lot from this place regardless of whether I am an Org God or not.
I have had the most fun on the Org with alters. It was so much fun to be CaptainChaos (if anyone remembers who that was) for a year. I used to love writing CC threads because I could just talk about my genitals and all the ladies I was going out with and then I would get off the computer and pay my mortgage or something. And then I did what I thought was the most badass thing in the world. I created an alter of an alter in AdmiralDisorder and had a ball with their interplay. I once created an entire thread where CaptainChaos was just talking smack with AdmiralDisorder before the mods (very wisely) locked it. That junk was fun! And this is not an Org complaint but I hate that we can't pretend to be celebs any more. It was great to get a chance to "pretend" like I was Justin Timberlake or Andrew Ridgely. I've heard JT do a few interviews and he doesn't particularly say "Yo" a lot but I punctuated every thread with about 20 "Yos" just because I wanted to give him a verbal tic and make him sound baffoonish (even though I should have used actual quotes and that would have been funnier than what I could come up with). I once created an alter of Bono for like 4 threads but I had nowhere to go with it and once "South Park" did its parody of Bono, I think they pretty much set the bar. In high school, I was invisible for three years. Then in my senior year, I lost 70 pounds and created an alter-ego called the GarbageMan and wrote these funny columns in the high school newspaper where I insulted everybody and people absolutely were shocked that this voice was inside me. So I guess the Org has allowed me to continue that tradition, to be myself and then to be something else not quite myself but yet sharing my DNA. Not to get too Batmanish here but where all at least two people. And then some of us have a whole apartment complex up in there. All good things they say never last... | |

So for you these alters are a sort of vent to let sides of yourself out that would otherwise be pent up. Have you used alters in real-life since high school? Or is this only an online thing for you now? Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου

It's weird about "made-up" personalities.
I think I show different sides of myself---except there are a few people who know ALL of me. I'm very lucky to have at least one person in my life who knows ALL OF ME. But.. like I said in the "I'm lonely thread," I cannot be candid with everybody in real life because... I don't think they could handle it. On the other hand, I'm not exactly sure if I could handle it if people in real life were completely honest with me. It's just like with Cheney... This isn't really off-topic.. just give me a minute!
What I'd really like to say is that this guy has all the money in the world to have 5 heart attacks and still be alive.. I tell ya what.. I remember a long time ago.. I read that the daughter on the Good Times.. was her name Thelma?? Well anyway, her dad was assaulted... I think possibly killed? Anyway.. she said something like.."Those people who did his.. my dad.. he was important to somebody. He was important to me." Anyway.. I just wish people could understand we all are important to somebody. Maybe this wasn't on topic, after all..  | |

missfee, I'm having fun on your account -- and I appreciate you being a good sport.
For what it's worth, my own imagined personality is probably a lot more ridiculous than yours.  [Edited 2/24/10 7:22am] Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου
