What do you think about development of alternative egos?
I think they're called alternate (alter) egos. If something alternates, it takes the place of something else. If it is an alternative, the two exist simultaneously. That's my understanding of it anyway.
I haven't thought much of alternate egos. I think it's a very real phenomenon. I've talked to people before that seemed to be under the impression that's it's a load of bullshit. Though, these same types of people don't believe in mental disorders and think people that deal with them are just weak pussies. From what I understand, a lot of people think that alter egos develop as a coping strategy. Maybe someone is bullied a lot and they break under the pressure caused by anxiety and PTSD. They may develop an alter ego that is mentally strong and can stand up to the bullies and other negative influences that affect their mental well being. I think an example of what I just mentioned is well illustrated by the character Butters in South Park. He is shit on by the kids at his school, so he develops an alter ego that can stand up to people and get back at those that have wronged him. I think it's very real to people that experience things like that.
