What do you do if you suspect someone is multiple?
i think it depends on who the other person is. if it’s someone you’re not close to, for instance, i would just ignore it or maybe kind of watch them and wonder. but not like tell them or change how i act or anything.
but if it’s someone you’re close to, like you live with them, then it makes a difference. i still don’t know exactly what to do with it, but the information does kind of change how i think about that person. not in a bad way exactly, except that person doesn’t think she is multiple and gets mad if she thinks i’m thinking about that!
but it changes how i feel when she is not consistent, or when she insists she thinks one way all the time when i know she has said the opposite before. or when she doesn’t remember doing things, or when she changes in all of those ways we know about. those things make more sense and don’t make me feel as upset with her, except that i wish she would just at least consider the idea of being multiple, because i think it would help to get things in more control and feel better for both of us.
