    Do you have a split personality?

    Do any of you have a split personality? I am actually a really calm and nice person to everyone around me in real life but when it comes to games especially MOBAs like Dota, LoL I rage a lot at other people, something that I would never do in real life.

    So what is yours?

    Yes. No. Don't listen to him, he's nuts.
    It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the beans of Java that thoughts acquire speed, the hands acquire shakes, the shakes become a warning.

    I can be shy and quiet if I'm not comfortable with the people around me. When I'm with friends and family or at work I'm very outgoing. I also get very competitive when it comes to games, just PvP though. I don't care what the meters say in a raid. I'm definitely a good natured/sweet person. But if you end up on my bad side it's really hard, if not impossible to get off it.

    Kind of, how I act at work is nothing like I am at home.

    Of course we don't have split personalities

    Maybe, maybe not. I'm usually calm and friendly, to my knowledge.

    But if someone annoys me, I just turn really dickish toward them. Unfortunately, I also become more "neutral" around other people; so rather than being as positive as possible, I'll usually become pretty 'don't care' about everything. This mainly happened with my last boss. I have no idea what was up with him; but some days he was super friendly/nice, then he became a total ass to EVERYONE. For no apparent reason. Thankfully I managed to keep my bad moods for him and kept positive when away from him.

    Part of the reason is that Battlegrounds are like ducks.

    That's not a split personality.

    Unless diagnosed, you would likely be unaware of any split personalities you have.
    Human progress isn't measured by industry. It's measured by the value you place on a life.

    Just, be kind.

    Sounds like a standard outlet, really. Do note, that while you may be anonymous in a video game, you're still raging in real life. There's no such thing as "not real life".

    Nah, they never diagnosed me with that, it's a real thing and not just raging on the web but being a sweetheart IRL. Aspergers, they did diagnose me with, and I'm pretty much the same in any situation only that I can feel less shy on the internet. What I say online, I would say IRL face to face with someone, and I have. The only time I rage in-game is if someone is treating another player badly, such as being abusive over performance or whatever.

    I do however wish my real life self was as strong as my in-game selves, it would certainly help with this hauling of furniture and moving boxes and cleaning...wouldn't help with the romance if I looked like my tauren toon though <.<.

    Back to the hauling...

    None of that is split personality. A split personality is really two completely separate people in one head. That can include changes in accent, gender, voice & pitch, likes & dislikes, and even memories.

    You don't have a split personality, but there is help for what you have.

    no, you have one personality, you are hiding it IRL behind a socially acceptable screen.

    Its only when we are anonymous that we show our true selves.

    Does the digagnosis in this acapacity even exist? I vaguely remember a teacher who used to work in a mental ward (he taught ethics instead of religion) telling us that the split personally disorder thing people generally refer to does not exist. I might confuse a few things here though.

    @Topic: No, but I still talk to i*people.

    No, but everybody has different faces they put up for different situations.
