Feel like there are 2 different people in me

I have a very very mild version of what you have. Part of me wants to be a successful business person who is good and generous and another part of me wants to be a cyber terrorist who gets laid all the time.

Tanx 4 all ur comments...just 2 make some few things clear. I don't have schizophrenia, I don't pretend to be some else, I don't have a alternate personality, I don't have 2 names for myself and I don't pretend to have false problems so I can solve them....

This feeling has gotten worse in the past 2 or 3 years and at this point I have lost my will to live. I’m not suicidal I just don't care if I die right now...to have no motivation, ambitions or a will 2 live feels like being dead.

I literally don't feel any emotion except for anger and maybe a little hate...when something happens to me I know how that was suppose to make me feel and I’ll rearrange my face to make that emotion...I pretend to feel. I’m just going through the motions of life. BlueWolf may be Wright and JDoe.

My world has turned grey...cause of this fight in my head. I'm losing myself and turn into someone I'm not...the 2 people in my head met and I'm turn into a third person that a combination of the other 2...I'm lost

Hope this makes sense, because it doesn't to me

These are just different parts of your personality as a whole. We are never completely one personality with a single set of morals and goals.

Hi guys I know this is an old thread. I respect everyone's opinion but with me. It's different. If you took a pic of me or saw me in my bday suit.. you can tell my right half is sick and my left half is healthy. So I mean I'm literally two different people

Children talk to themselves because of this dualist ic component. It is normal to have conversations with ourselves, we can observe our feelings and thoughts and we process the information into words. To be comfortable inside we need to take good care of this loved one. If you do not your conversations will not be pleasant. We need to live with ourself always and with others some times. Uncovering the self from under the load of fear, resentment,loss,uncertainty is the journey we all on. The consuming nature of business communicates we need new more or different. I yearn to be my best friend , I will look feel and be my best.

I know exactly how you feel because I feel the same way. I don't have any solid answers why this happens, but I have a personal theory. I think it might relate somehow to being ambidextrous. I've read that ambidextrous people like me often have the same faculties on both sides of their brain (math, logic, creative, speech), whereas those faculties are separated into different hemispheres of the brain in left and right-handed people. Add that together with a reduced number of connections between the two hemispheres and I think the result is probably what you and I go through- the feeling of being two different people in one, having two inner monologs that can think independent of the other, and even have different desires or be in conflict with each other.

Aside from the frequent discomfort of having occasionally conflicting minds, I actually think it's a gift. Unlike most people, I can do things like talk to a coworker while continuing to type out an email. I can listen keenly to a person on either side of me saying different things and follow along with both conversations, and even if I don't do it often (freaks people out) I can write different things at the same time using both hands on different notepads. In the end, I consider it a gift because it makes me rock at multitasking!

That said, when I brought this up to my very first psychiatrist many years ago, he half-jokingly suggested my brain should go through "couples counseling". Lol! Actually, that helped. I was hypnotized many times in the course of my therapy to disable one side of my brain or the other so the therapist could examine only one of myselves at a time. Eventually, I learned meditation in order to do the same. If you feel like two people, make sure you try making them get along.

i have th esame problem almost like im evil and ruthless in one personality and happy carring and vulnerab;le on the other. but i cant ever tell when im swiched unless im int he cal vulnerable normal mode when i notice my other half and its almost as if theres a third that watches both of those and thnats a whole nother entity itself

We find a great contradiction in every person. Within the self-same individual are two opposing inclinations: the original mind that desires goodness and the evil mind that desires wickedness. They are engaged in a fierce battle, striving to accomplish two conflicting purposes. Any being possessing such a contradiction within itself is doomed to perish. Human beings, having acquired this contradiction, live on the brink of destruction...

Study Divine Principle and you will have solution

you might not need to. establish a middle ground between these two people, try talking this out with someone before jumping to a psyciatrist.

same. i sometimes pretend that im a different person, because my life is so sucky sometimes. but the thing is.. the problems that i dont have i try to make my alternate person have so i can pretend to deal with them
i know it sounds insane, but if u had my brain for like 10 mins. you'd think it was perfectly normal
LOVE YOU GUYS because you ask amazing questions! <3
-XOXO <3 Alex

I know how you feel!

Feel the same way here.

lol mines a little different, when i am alone, sometimes i feel like i am hanging out with a friend, cause urself feels like to, cause u no each other very wel :D

schizophrenia
i just learned bout it in health class today

i also feel like so.believe me this is a very agonizing situation.two quite opposite personalities and each of them tells different things and you don't know what to do.i don't think it is normal but unfortunately it's a fair reality!

I would see a psych

In the lives of religious people one can see an intense struggle to realize goodness by single-mindedly following the desires of the original mind. Yet since the beginning of time, not even one person has abided strictly by his original mind. As St. Paul noted, "None is righteous, no, not one; no one understands, no one seeks for God."1(Rom. 3:10-11)CEV|KJ|NI Confronted with the human condition, he lamented, "For I delight in the law of God, in my inmost self, but I see in my members another law at war with the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin which dwells in my members. Wretched man that I am!"

I have this same thing, It's caused me to feel split in half, It's troubling and I still havent found a way to cure myself of it

I feel like that aswell. I learned my mum had a miscarage before she had me and a part of me thinks I also took on the personalitiy of who that person was ment to be. I know it's a weird way of thinking but I can't help but wonder.
