Unleashing Your Other Side

[shadowstriker86]

Im an odd fellow, i got really depressed tonight for reasons i really don't feel like revealing and i got tired of it, so i decided to take some 5 hour energy in thinking maybe they hyperness will help, and it did! I feel different though, like im not myself, even though i do feel like myself but more....confident and stronger, like i've got my own tyler durden side lol, anyone else ever have an experience like this?

I'm more talkative and randomly spontaneous when drunk....which is fairly typical i suppose. People have said i am entertaining when drunk, so i guess by drug-induced other side is all right.

 

[sylekage]

It usually happens when I'm mad or upset, but usually I'm a quiet guy, but when I get two beers TWO in me, I become talkative and loud (good loud) and I barely feel any form of buzz. does that count?

 

[000Ronald]

Most people have two (or more) sides. It's not something intentional, it's just that people behave differently in different situations.

So, yeah. See where you're coming from.

'pologies.

For a long time there was a running gag in my social circle about me having 2 personalities- one shy and relatively normal the other a loud and boisterous weirdo who'd do anything for effect,
the other side would ocassionally escape; mostly when I was drunk but alot of people I knew back then where shocked to see just drastic personality swings

 

[Kwaren]

I am a normally shy and rude. I am outgoing and nice when drunk. I sometimes contemplate drinking just so I can be able to get out and be nice to people.

 

[QuirkyTambourine]

I don't really have two sides per say, but I do have two different...aspects to how I am as a person I guess? One is my outward appearance and the other is my inner monologue and whatnot

On the outside, I'm slightly awkward, a bit shy and come off as...not dumb but probably not terribly bright to people who don't know me. That's mostly because I am constantly thinking about something, heavy inner monologue if you will, and often don't pay attention to how my outward appearance is to people.

However, my inner self comes out every once in a while when I make some incredibly biting and/or witty comment to someone half under my breath (my wit comes comes no other place than constant sparring with my mother) I've spent a lot of time, these past three years especially, dealing with people constantly misreading me and trying to figure out what's going on with me, and it usually ends up hurting me because they take the ball and run in the entirely wrong direction with it.

Although I did have one friend, who is a psych major, analyze me for fun, and she nailed almost every single aspect of my personality perfectly. This leads me to believe that either I'm not as different as I thought I was, or she is exceedingly good at extracting small details from talking to me

I hide the real me from people I know.

 

[staika]

I can be very loud and and talkative in small groups but once the group exceeds 10 people I literally disappear from the face of the earth and i just quietly follow what everyone else is doing and any attempts to get me to join in on the conversations fail miserably.

 

[SimuLord]

I have more sides than a d20.

There's the side I show the professional world, the sociopathic, money-grubbing, complete monster side of me. I hate that guy. He's a douchebag. But it's what employers and business people want.

There's the side I show the girl in my life, the supportive, warm, friendly side that I think is probably closest to my "true nature"---which is good, because she deserves better than some guy trying to play her. I can say without a trace of sarcasm, irony, or deception that what she gets is 100% sincere. I love that person---the me I become when I'm around her.

There's the side I show my male friends, the sports fan, meat-eating, "how's the wife and kids" man's man beer commercial side. This is the side of me that gets the "You're alright, bud" compliments.

There's my creative side, deeply personal, rarely shown to the world unless I have a finished product to show. When I'm writing, I withdraw very deeply into myself, which brings me to...

My autistic side, which I try to rein in for my own good. I was diagnosed "atypical autistic" in my teens and I have learned to grant that element of myself plenty of leeway lest it destroy me. This is the side that goes hand-in-hand with a lot of my intellect and skills, both useful (accounting, finance, writing) and useless (playing video games, holding a bunch of sports stats in my head to use in conversation.)

And dozens of other sub-"sides" that seem to pop in and out.

 

[CactiComplex]

I lost count of the various 'sides' to my personality.

I'm kinda chatty in online situations, yet in person I'm usually quiet verging on silent, yet give me a couple of cans of energy drink and I'll be bouncing off the walls, babbling on about any and every thought that passes through my head. I found that out by drinking three cans of Relentless before a nine hour flight. It's kind of the same when I drink alcohol, except I tend to be a little more refrained.

 

[Lord Beautiful]

When I'm pissed, I'm an ungodly kind of calm and brilliant. I go from playfully teasing asshole to "mentally decimates the infidels" asshole.
