Co-consciousness and masking

[Chimera]

It was strange because when I have that feeling, I don't stay with it because staying with it, being unable to escape it is one of the reasons I switch. Switching is the only way I can manage that. This time, I was there and felt the one who would normally come out to calm and shut down emotions, but instead of coming out and switching, it was an internal reassurance.

Acceptance is a very...new thing for us? Meaning that given how flawlessly we've masked all these years, how we've never really gone by different names (because that might eventually get caught), it's strange to start to recognize those distinctions more. Thank you for offering your experience. It helps to see someone else's sometimes.
