Others Around Us
The fact of us being multiple definitely has an impact on the people around us. Our partner has been a tower of strength through some very difficult days. There are so many times when they have taken so much crap from us and really calmed us down. Their support has been truly wonderful. Especially so when we went through a challenging time with a relatve.
People around us who are not quite as close and don't know that we are multiple find us confusing. They wonder why what they perceive to be one person can have such bizarre inconsistencies when it comes to opinions, interests and such like. They might wonder, for example why we follow several football teams (Glasgow Celtic, Partick Thistle and Dunfermline), why we are a born again Christian who celebrates pagan feasts or why we are socialist, but vote conservative in elections!
