The Family/Questions on Alter Personalities

Mars here, though Sam isn't far. So we might jump back and forth. I'm seriously digging this song I'm listening to, and its triggering as ###$ I'm pissed off right now but it feels good...man I wanna go to the gym. Or punch something. Either way. Floating in the...void...the memory chasm I guess? I dunno what it is---but I feel it. I serve and protect, that's my job. I love, live, dance. The question is, is anyone complex? Aren't we supposed to be just sorta---flat? Like we can only do so much/react a certain way? Or are we stupid/have been misguided?

Example: I can be one goofy, shy, sensitive dude and I LOVE to dance (my bad for the ear-bleeding Sam XD, but a man's gotta dance and there's nothing like house music or dubstep....or OK, *looks away* sometimes a boy likes his girly $#%^ too guilty as charged), I also like cooking and classical music. At the same time, like I said, I'm the protector, the invulnerable, the calm, the defensive one. I'm also pretty metrosexual and fabulous. I don't eat much except when I'm in a downward spiral, then hey---bring on the junk food.

Firebird and Leopard and little one are the same, they're like their own people. We kinda do all the emotional range. All full of contradictions and $#%^.

Everything's different and varies from person to person, system to system, but yes! Alters can be complex within themselves! They don't have to be stuck to just one mood, or one behaviour, or certain behaviours, or anything like that!

Take Kat for example. Kat's a very independent alter, usually angry, very blunt, untrusting, rather anti-social, and have very little patience. But I've seen her be kind, gentle, loving, etc., with ones like Cassie, or even my boyfriend Mike back when she was dating him as well. So, yes, alters can definitely be complex in and of themselves.

Almost all of us in our system have nearly full emotional ranges, or at least, we have the ability to have nearly full emotional ranges (whether we do or not yet, that varies from alter to alter).

Like Luna's usually very quiet, rather depressed, very dark, very anti-social, etc. But I've seen her laughing it up with others inside, and even peeking out a bit to socialize with others outside, so she's definitely not the "dark depressive girl" all the time!

Some alters, though, are indeed rather limited. Like I said, it varies from person to person, system to system.

An alter can definitely be complex

I've found more or less every single of us to be very complex people.

all of us are very complex! for example lyndsey is very resrved and she likes it that way or at least thats what she says, but i know it isnt true and so does she sometimes. for example once she was really really nice to sarahs boyfriend they had a really interesting conversations. lyndsey liked it.

also i am very happy sarah says but i also get really scared and i get bad images in my head. sarah says im just afraid of being alone though. also i can get sad too but that is okay because it will go away.

so yes we can be really complex! but sometimes not. it depends.

Being complex is very possible, but being very simple is too. We can be just/nearly as complex as other humans. Some humans are more complex than others, and some alters are more complex than others.
