I do apologize if this is an odd and/or rude question, but I am genuinely curious about this

...Do your tastes change depending on who is fronting? (the question is mostly regarding food)

GUYS! THIS GUY WAS ABUSED AS A CHILD! AND NOW HE CAN NEVER REMEMBER ANYTHING! HIS PERSONALITY AND SENSE OF SELF CAN SHIFT RAPIDLY! HE WALKS THROUGH LIFE FEELING LIKE A SPECTATOR AND HATES REMEMBERING HIS ANY ACTION BECAUSE THEY DONT FEEL LIKE HIS OWN! THATS SO COOL! CAN HIS ALTERS DO TRICKS?

#sorry. i know you dont mean to be offensive. but please understand that this is a really dehumanising thing to ask #people who dissociate are not spectacles and we are not unique beings with our own sets of rules #we are just. people. who are mentally ill. and experiencing the psychological effects of trauma. you get me? is that crazy to suggest?#for the record the answer is no. not any more than how a normal persons appetite and preferences might shift day to day anyway #the same way how an odd day might make your favourite food seem unappetising - sure. a switch may do the same. but its nothing to gawk at #you can find future answers more easily by asking yourself: “when i am very 'out of it' does this happen?”#“would this happen to someone having a flashback?”#because. hey. its crazy but. switching between alters is just 'being out of it' or having a flashback with extra steps #im trying not to audibly eye twitch here. i might be failing. oh well #ask #i hope this answers your question. you dont have to apologise. but please internalise this haha
