#personality

Before you ask whether we live in a #simulation, you should first check whether you can be sure of your own #existence?

"I Think, Therefore I Am" - can it really be that simple?

Why can I think? Because I have been taught a #language and this language determines my #thinking and my #personality. Changing your language can change your personality. According to this, one is programmed by society by learning the language. However, by using language, I use learned thought patterns and am no longer really free in my thinking. But without language I couldn't think these thoughts at all.

So am I just a prisoner within the walls of my own thoughts or are they those of #society? Have I built my prison myself or do I have to break out of society's prison? Can I even break out within the simulation?

I suspect that everyone creates their own simulation that could be called truth. We are conditioned to take over the truth from society in order to become a useful member of it.

We can now try to become the hero or queen of our own story (simulation). I suppose that's all we can achieve in life.

But since I'm not even sure if I'm really real, I'm afraid I have to deny your existence. It is much more likely that you are just part of my simulation.

“One respondent, for example, saw an ad’s main character as a risk-taking, independent woman in the Spanish version of the ad, but as a hopeless, lonely, confused woman in the English version,” said the researchers.

I have been falling into the rabbit hole of Dissociative Personality Disorder. Someone I know told me they have it, which prompted me to start doing a lot of research on the topic. It turns out the DSM-5 doesn't recognize it as a condition on its own (meaning, it can be explained by other existing pathologies) but from what I've been reading, it clearly is a phenomenon with very unique characteristics, as well as a lot of co-morbid symptoms shared with other dissociative disorders.

I was just curious if anyone here has had any experience, personal, vicarious or through scientific research, with #DID or dissociation in general. I am curious and would love to hear your stories about this.
