Using the word "I" trips me out

I cant get over the fact that I use I both for me (aka I believe I am the coconcious controller of this messed up system) but I also us I to describe me even when others where in control and I was simply observing from behind

If I were to have a name I would call myself I which of coursr makes it so much more confusing because I us I a lot (be it for me or others, or others use it and I am in the back seat). Again because I don't know who is who in my head I simply trip out and I actually say I way too much as you can see here (it's not intentional I simply don't know how else to do it)

Still when I talk to people and say I, I don't know which part of me the I was

Idk why but I really struggle with this and sorry for the confusion. Occasionally I use we, me etc but still I is the most natural and encopases all my parts even if I am I and I don't know who the others are or present at a given time

I dont think it should bother me or so much or be so confusing and yet it is and not sure I can do anything about it

I also tend to use "I" both for me and for when I talk about the system, except when I know that the conversational partner knows about my DID. It's more of a habit-thing, I think. I want to seem normal and I generally don't want anyone to know about the DID.

Maybe it will help to give yourself another name? Maybe it will feel awkward at first, but it could make things less confusing. Something like 'the manager', or 'the observer' might work?

Hey thanks this helps and infact just posting this helped me as I mean I, still now know I am currently coconcious with the part of me that loves pot most (he made it clear so it's progress)
