not Direct Inward Dialling but Dissociative Identity Disorder.
Thanks to a Hong Kong drama series that i'm currently watching, i'm now "in-touch with the pyschological world".
Many a times i'll wonder if i'm suffering the same pyschological problems like people in the drama.
Dissociative Identity Disorder described in simple terms refers to a person experiencing multiple personalities without knowing it.
Meaning, let's say you're called "Ms Tame". In the afternoon you might become "Ms Chatty" and at night you'll turn to "Ms Wild".
With "Ms Tame" being the main personality and "Ms Chatty" and "Ms Wild" being the sub-personalities, you'll find yourself not being able to remember your afternoons and nights, for example.
Why does such pyschological disorder occur?
It's usually due to the over-suppressing of emotions. (that's what the tv says)
Let's say u're usually a chatty person. Then you meet with a life-changing experience that made you quiet most of the time. But being chatty has always been a part of you. So, during times when you're unaware, Chatty comes up, often quite the extreme version.
That makes me think - since i'm having cold war inhouse, i'm suppressing my emotions quite a bit cos i'm the only outcast in the house. would i get DID too?
but more often than not, things happen due to the self-fulfilling prophecy too.
see. sometimes tv can be educational too.

Hey! TV's always educational! Just depends on how you look at it.
It's probably an uncompassionate way of looking at things, but I've always felt that people who are too quick to attributing their problems to disorders are really just being irresponsible about handling their lives. (I'm not referring to you, just, my opinion of it in general) It's a bit like, "Oh, I did this-and-that and I know it's not a good thing to do, but hey it's not my fault -- it's a disorder!". It's just like an easy way out, the easy way of shirking responsibility and blaming someone/something else... and I think you see that kind of behaviour in people alot in this day and age...
What a shame.
i know what u mean. the most famous example would have to be this, "I'm obese, but hey, it's an illness u know! Bloody fast food chain McDonald's is to blame for causing my illness!!"
or
"i cant help it! i'm born tactless!"
