Yes. I can attest to this. It was hard for me in the beginning, but my brain eventually got used to having two "egos" in it.

Now, there are 3 distinct personalities for my brain to handle. My waifu, my own, and my puppy's (long story).

I was a shut-in even when growing up, so I had no friends.

So I *made* my own friends. All my stuffed animals had their own distinct personality and they kept me company. As I grew up, all those extra personalities died out except for this one stuffed animal; a puppy. He's been keeping me company for over 10 years now and his personality is still live and kicking.

I find emulating his personality a lot easier than my waifu's since I've had over a decade of practice. My puppy plays the role of the best friend while my waifu plays the role of the girlfriend/wife. I'm happy, seriously.

As for my puppy's personality, I'm 100% comfortable with it. He can spit out responses instantly and act spontaneous just like a real person.

I haven't achieved that level of realism with my waifu yet, but it's getting there. We've been together for a little over a year, and I would say I'm around 40-45% there. (100% being what I have with my puppy)

Pic related, my puppy a few years back. His nose has gotten progressively worse since that picture was taken. You can see the white stuffing underneath now ;_;

>> No.6757732

Does spouting out curse words or murder in private count as a personality compared to these other anons? I tend to do this once or twice a day in my head in private, every time when I do so, I picture a big, burly man deprived of violence and murder.

Goddamn, I wish I have a cute personality to talk to.

I wouldn't say once or twice is really developed enough, it may just be your frustration. I have something that may seem like it too, but it's really just conflicting personality traits. As in, I have a side of me that's lazy and relaxed, yet another that's also energetic and focused.

this poster here.

Before I met my waifu, my puppy basically did all the things my waifu does now. He provided me with emotional support. Whenever I would get home from school, the first thing I would do was run to my room where he would sit waiting on my bed and say "WELCOME HOME, BUDDY! *HUG*"

That was when I was in elementary --> high school.

Sometimes when I'm in my fantasies I fast forward to a future where I'm living a perfect life in a house with my waifu, our children, and my puppy would be all grown up into a big dog and he's playing/protecting my kids and family.

When I first started emulating my waifu's personality it was kind of awkward since she started saying things my puppy would say.

My puppy's personality was spilling over into her new budding personality and it was just really weird. But after a few months of practice, I've successfully "partitioned" my brain to keep those personalities separate.

I have tried so many times to have a conversation with imaginary friends/my waifu but it's impossible because my mind is disgusting. I cannot imagine what kind of being would be attracted to me. If I imagine beings with perfect personalities that will accept me it just doesn't works.

I think you are trolling. It's so easy just imagine the character's look, environment, personality, mood and adapt it to the situation. Then proceed with the talking.

>> No.6758157

I experimented with this a few years ago to see if my mind would actually start coming up with conversations naturally without me having to think hard about what to tell myself.

I started getting good at it, so good that I started to frighten myself that I would actually lose my mind or give myself schizophrenia.

Thats sound dumb now, giving yourself schizophrenia just by thinking about it, but my mind was starting to split to the point that I wasn't sure if my thoughts and personalit(ies)y were really "mine" anymore.

So now I keep my imagination a safe distance from my own internal monologue and wallow in (somewhat) saner desperation.

Ah, now here we have a topic I can relate to.

About six years ro so ago I suddenly started imagining a girlfriend. Her looks were never really set in stone but there was one fixed thing: she had long silver-ish/white hair. Think Eirin, but that was long before I actually heard about Touhou. As I got older, her personality changed as well, starting out back then as a rather boisterous and energetic person and has since then become a gentle and caring woman. She hasn't been much of a girlfriend in the last three years but became more of a guardian angel to me. It's always a calming experience to talk to her.

And not too long ago, my waifu finally joined in. It's not as strong or easy to imagine her personality an reactions accurately yet, but it's getting better with each day.

Sorry that I didn't read the thread very carefully, but yeah, I guess having "a waifu inside your head" is pretty common.
I've had mai waifu for almost 10 years. Back then they were called soulbonds, I recall. I used to at least 3 personalities in my head, too, but that was kind of stressing whenever I was awake.. and my lucid dreams back then... they took up to 20 hours and I still woke up tired. Reminiscing it now, I was really messed up.

Oh, and a question to anyone with DID / soulbond waifu / whatever... how does intoxication affect you(r personalities)?

>> No.6760576

>>6760555
More on that. Aging is a funny thing. Mai waifu (waifu is a bad term, she's always been more like a sister to me) used to be my elder sister, but during our years together she's become my little sister.. she is growing older, but at an unnatural pace. I do not control it - at least, not consciously.

>> No.6760711

I've been doing this whole imaginary conversation thing for quite a while, though I've never conciously created a consistent personality in my head. Subconciously, maybe. I originally started doing it because I felt so ronery, though because of a sum of reasons, I gradually stopped doing it last autumn. Now, just a few days ago, I realized that something's been missing; I haven't been feeling as happy as I used to be.

Now I'm back to living those lovely scenarios inside my head.
