Is it normal to have personas?
Hey all, I'm going to try to keep this as short as possible because my mind is racing at about 1,000 mph. Is it normal to have personas? I haven't broken them out yet (as in, use them in public), but I've always had a few kind of making their way in my imagination and sketchpad. I dress up a lot, with wigs, makeup, and outfits, and the reason I want to use my personas is...to kind of help me.
For example, I have a speech problem. I stutter a lot. But if I have a persona, where I am constantly acting as this woman who is serious and mature that DOESN'T stutter, it keeps me under control. Now obviously it's lying, but it's all in good fun. I don't plan on hurting anybody.
So, yeah. Is it normal? What do you think of it? By the way they do NOT dominate my life. So it's not something that takes me over, he'll no I could not be somebody else for too long.
