Living with Monominds

[Cammy]

Being around people seems to stabilize my personality system. Left alone, I start to 'bounce' a bit. I don't know why this is the case, possibly because being around others somewhat forces me to hold onto the host personality more strongly in order to present a more stable front. If it is people I am comfortable around, it is not a strain on me. It is when I am forced to socialize outside of my home, such as in a work environment, that the stress of presenting a static personality begins to wear on me. All in all, however, I do find monominds a little bit exasperating outside of the people who know what I am. It partly has to do with the fact that we seem to share nothing in common either intellectually or in our backgrounds. Can't explain it any further than that. Fact is, I live with only one monomind, my mom. My husband is a multi-mind as well, but he is new to this realization so requires a lot of support and guidance. This I do not seem to mind.
