Alternating Between 2 Personalities

Post Reply New Topic

For about 80% -90% of the time my personality is introverted, cold, calm and serious and all the other time I tend to act like a 6 year old who has consumed a large amount of sugar and I feel 'high' and start cracking jokes left and right and doing weird things. So I keep changing back and forth between these two contrasting and conflicting personalities.


How weird is that?

My family of origin on my mom's side has a history of bipolar/manic-depression so it's not weird at all. I'm not saying you do, only that from my perspective it's within the realm of normal for someone to do so.

If these changes are in the matter of hours, it's probably NOT bipolar disorder. One key point about bipolar disorder is that the extreme moods are PROLONGED, on the order of days and weeks to months, and represent a major deviation from the patient's personality--people who know the person well will see their behavior as UNCHARACTERISTIC.

If you're concerned, speak to your provider.

I have two very distinct personalities, I call them: AWAKE, and TIRED...

It might be a coping strategy for when you feel you need to interact. A lot of introverted people learn to fake 'extroverted' for a brief period, and then crash in exhaustion shortly afterwards. My Dad dealt with that every school day when he was a teacher - he had to fake extroversion to teach.

Beneficii, people with bipolar can experience rapid cycling - as often as several times a day, several days in a week (ultradian cycling) although they usually have a larger cycle, too. My mom would rapid cycle until she went through menopause; now only the longer cycling remains. Same thing happened with her sisters. As early as the mid 1990's rapid cycling was identified in children*

I tend to cycle from Adult to Kid they are very conflicting, because they represent me and my plush piplup. I read on some random internet blog this is common among Auties and Aspies alike (More so Auties, but still Aspies). It isn't comparable to Bipolar, because (In My Humble Opinion) These happen virtually randomly. It could happen during great stress or while sleeping. Also They tend to represent Chaos and Order. Order being the Real one and Chaos being fake. (Example, Piplup is Chaos, while I'm Order.) So most likely if you analyzed autistics on this forum you could map out their (For all intensive purposes 'fake' personally, and their 'real' personality.
Which would also mean you could categorize them by topic, range, alphanumeric values, and much more. Which is very interesting for autistics (And may get them to snap out of their 'fake'/'real' personality thing). Therefore you could (Technically) Categorize the autistics Special interest, and rather or not the name obviously involves their name. (Example would be my Name Pieplup) This could also Possibly help them find the Ideal autistic friend with ^^^^
| | | | (Nearly Matching Special Interests. Therefore, you could technically speaking match the ones, who are emotionally Childishchildish with other emotionally 'b]Childish/Babyish[/b]' 'Auties/Aspies'. Now you might have noticed by now this is a pretty seemingly random rant, but meh who cares it is a interesting one none the less. Without further ado I'll continue. The emotionally 'Ten/Adolescent[u/][i/][b/]' '[b][i][u]Auties/Aspies'. The Emotional ' 'Adult'. Not to mention effectively remove the High/low functioning Labels and/or High/Medium/Low Support models. While nonetheless making a positive impact on the WP/Autistic Community, that Exist on this forum (Also, subreddits like r/Autism, r/Aspergirls, or r/Asperger's, but mostly here.). Also, no Matter if they're High, Medium, or Low they all get a friend!

This is a Pretty good Idea. That I'm pretty sure a member of this forum has already subtly implemented. Not saying who, Think of it as a Easter egg, such as the Mew truck strength 'glitch' (Which doesn't actually work). . So I can eventually end this post (And continue building on minecraft:lol:). I'm going to end this soon. So, where was I. Yeah, we could essentially 'connect' the autistic community to one 'autistic/aspie' kingdom. Lead by the Moderators and Alex (Since they founded the forum). I'm not sure where, but "google is your friend for this one, young jedi". This would be genius, because no matter if your special interest is film making or video games. No matter if you're emotionally maturity level is 1, 2, or 3 (The Highest Pretty much adult). We can all have a nice Autistic/Aspie 'friends' (whatever you prefer to call x). Therefore people, who like, Pokemon (Which are quite a-lot of people on WP). Can connect and trade Memorabilia, Cards, Movies, and etc. Just like the Star Trek/Star wars fans. Also, we could make a Give away program for old Special interest stuff, to. Which in essence would be useful, Mostly because merchandise in general is expensive. (I spent all my birthday money this year and the last on Piplup stuff) Especially, when it comes to Video games or movies. This would also be good, for educating Relatively 'Newbie' Wrong Planet inhabitants. So, they can learn the rules, while learning about their special interest. I'm going to stop, so I can get some sleep, I'll pick up on this tomorrow, before Core+ Mathematics class. :winky: So bye.
