WARNING: Get ready for the most snowflakey unicorn-like post you will ever see in your life, ironically brought to you by your local INTP.
I want to discuss alter egos because I genuinely believe that I have one. I know it doesn't make much sense, but it's just kind of... there.
This alter ego has ISFP traits, which I think is my shadow type? The opposite of Ti-Ne-Si-Fe would be Fi-Se-Ni-Te, wouldn't it?
I've nicknamed her Karissa, and she is everything that I am not: feminine, submissive, affectionate, appearance-focused, witty, and deceitful at times. I'll just be browsing the internet when I see/hear a trigger, and suddenly I'm overwhelmed with the desire to soak in a bath of rose petals, put on an airy sundress, bake some little tarts, and invite my nonexistent group of girlfriends over to take silly magazine quizzes and do our nails.
When I'm in this state of mind, I also tend to be more sensual and submissive. This is what caused me to go into several of my worst relationships, all with dominant men who ended up purposely hurting me. I can't stand them normally, but when my ISFP alter takes over, I become strangely attracted to them.
This feeling goes away after prolonged affection or just intimacy in general. I then return to my normal, careless, motivation-lacking self. This has made for some pretty awkward situations.
So, is this a thing? I'm thinking it could be some sort of weird spikes in my estrogen levels, but during one of my online relationships it lasted for months. It could also be a shadow function thing.
Also, do any of you guys have (or think you might have) an alter ego that just sort of came out of nowhere?
