Does my friend have a split personality?

Question

My friend sais he has a split personality. I listened to him and he claimed that his "personalities" where not fighting and he could change them at will...he named one Jasper and the other Alice (one is a boy one is a girl). His girl side likes one of my friends..."Alice" told him that she liked him and then "Jasper" said that she wanted to die when my friend got creeped out. Does he realy have a split personality?

Answer 1

One never knows.  It's not unusual for a person with multiple personalities to be self-aware of the several personalities within him or her.  However, it is unusual for a person like that to admit that to a friend, to go into so much detail unless he knows you very, very well.

I had a friend for many, many years who never told me he had the condition until he was well into his forties.  And only then (after 15 years of so of friendship) did he go into the detail you describe.

Be very careful what you confide in to this person, by the way.  If he is a multiple, the personality you are friends with may tell another personality about you.  That other personality may not like you and may even be jealous of you and will do anything to break up the friendship.

Wow.. that's a trip.. sounds like it.. but I would be hesitant to believe him.. I'd ask more then one person that knows him to confirm that.
