Is it normal that i have different personalities?

Ever since sixth grade, I've talked to different people in my head. They do have names, but I'll call them A and B for the sake of my privacy right now. I don't know what happened or why, but all I remember is that suddenly (well not very suddenly) I had thoughts that were not my own. Later I discovered it was A, and she has been a distinct person I have recognized ever since. B came a little bit later on. I really cannot control them, but I do doubt myself sometimes and think I'm faking it. I'm pretty sure I'm not though because A always convinces me. They think it's rude actually, that I would think that. Anyways, I did some research much later on and discovered OSDD, some kind of personality disorder similar to what I am experiencing, although A, B, and I really don't like to self diagnose. I just wanted to know if this is normal and I should see someone?? I've only told one person what I experience but honestly it's really scary talking about it because I feel like everyone will just shrug it off and tell me I'm faking it. Please help!

    Not normal to have voices in your head. I’d def see a psychiatrist about that.

    I experience this too. It's like I'm talking to completely different people in own head. It doesn't impact my life harshly so I don't make a big deal out of it. If it bothers you then see a therapist if not then carry on. It's probably not normal but that doesn't matter if it doesn't hurt anyone. Although it could be a symptom of mental health issues like trauma which you might want to get checked out either way.

    Hey, your story is not "normal" but not in a bad way.
    First things first, does it bother you?
    Because if it doesn't bother you and you just don't understand what the fuck is going on then I'd say it's fine-ish, you can still visit a therapist if you want tho. BUT if it bothers you and you have a problem with it, I would really! suggest therapy. It's not weird to be in therapy. I used to work at a psychiatry and I can tell you. It's not insane to be in therapy, rather not to be in therapy is. There are so many ways of therapy and most of them are in a really comfy environment and it's worth a try. Also I don't think you're faking it. Why would you?
    Hope I could help :)

      Hello, thanks for your input! I have been to therapy because I also have depression and anxiety. As for bothering me, I'm perplexed. Sometimes it does cause problems for me because we might get in an argument (and things can get really heated) and sometimes it just seems like the worst thing in the world. But other times it's fine and dandy. So the system does cause problems but that's just how normal relationships go.

        Does the other personality’s take control sometimes? It sounds like multiple personality disorder to my but I’m no expert.

    Voices in your head are normal, just dont lett them badger you into things that will affect you in a negative way. they can't really hurt you physically. scream at them to shut the fuck up if necessary, or else self medication helps. Don't give voices and illusions a decision in your actions.

    I would see a therapist. Especially if the voices are saying mean things to you.
