I've never known what it is. You tell me:
Call me Z.
There's 2, maybe 3 parts to Z.
I've (I've being one part? I don't understand that one) named part two "the analyst".
The analyst thinks its omniscient. The analyst is smart, thinks without bias or emotion mostly, a good part to have but is still within a human, so its susceptible to human feelings, I guess.
Part 3, i've named "the human"
The human is stupid, driven by instinct, emotions and such, as humans are. The analyst lets the human control the thoughts mostly, but whispers from a corner, to influence it.
Could go more in depth, don't want to.
Who the ###$ is 'i' or 'me'?
Feels like a narrator.

The way you describe these parts reminds me of the id, ego and superego. If these parts feel like separate entities then go with your instincts and explore them from this angle, if you feel comfortable with this approach. Do these states cause you any distress? There are multiples with alters who are happy living with more than one personality state as they cause no issues or even enhance their lives in some way, who do not consider themselves living with a disorder.
I struggle with understanding who I am exactly as there is a void-like super-sentience altogether not made up of others, and yet made up of all of them, which sometimes feels like me and yet no-one, and when I'm capable of self-examining it's usually from this viewpoint, which has no relative point from which to identify or name it. Your narrator comment reminds me of this.

The id, ego and superego seems like it fits maybe. But maybe not. I don't understand myself either. I've opened up to my wife before, but she cant understand me either. Sometimes the only way to describe it is "I don't know". I need to analyze myself more. They feel like seperate entities when I think about it. Throughout the day I don't break "me" down enough. There's that again, "i". Gotta figure that dude out. I think there's multiple alters I haven't positively identified. There's a very very angry side. The world could burn it couldn't care less. The angry alter is very prevalent. There's others I think, but i'd have to watch.
Its possible i'm all #######4 and create these things within myself to cope with something, for what? I don't know.
