Is it unhealthy to make an alter-ego with all the characteristics

>>41560261
Sounds pretty autistic but it just might work

I think of myself as Selene from Underworld as I try to get that perfect trap body. When I go to the gym I listen to all gothic rock

The only thing you're really missing is a rite of initiation. Some sort of ceremony to kick in the new psychology.

Use hypnosis

>>41560261
The alibi is a little autistic but you can do all that other shit starting right now. Fake it till you make it, brah

might be a bad idea

Although we all have a 'persona' to some effect, I wouldn't recommend creating an entirely new 'you'. Sounds like a good way to fuck your self perception. Just improve you. Focus on problems you can fix and do it.

>>41560261
So kind of like Edward Norton did in Fight Club? No need to be schizophrenic dudeson just improve upon yourself. You don't need a hypothetical vessel to fill. I get the idea - this way you don't have to deal with emotional baggage but you cannot truly improve and become better unless you authentically acknowledge the things which make you suck.

OP here, I just don't really like myself and want a big change in my life.

>>41561367

Whats the worst that could happen? I'm not gonna go start a project mayhem-like terrorist group or something. I know I had a rubber-band around here somewhere.

When you actually throw your child support mail in the rubbish IRL

I'm a meme

>>41560261
Skip the name change, and do the other things to literally change your life for the better.

>come up with new rules for living your life.
and values that justify/validate those rules

>change the way you see yourself and forget about past experiences that seem to hold you back
this is important, a lot of people really do let past experiences hold them back from new experiences.
look to the past for lessons and good memories rather than things that validate negative beliefs about yourself

>hold your new self to a higher standard
the standard being your values, the things that matter to you

>>41562569

I mean, I get the name thing is kinda weird and pretty autistic.

But it would only be for me to stop associating myself with the way I currently feel. It's not like I would be like "Hey mom, I'm Billy now, okay? Bye."

>>41562675

I might watch it now too.

sounds good if you ask me.

don't let anyone tell you who you are.
from being assigned a name, to a place in society, its all bullshit to make us conform.
break free of that shit, cus it aint really you

choose your future, respect your past. be yourself.

>>41560261

what are these higher standards?

>>41560261
I literally do this since last year, have to keep it in mind all the time though.

My alter-ego is just older, wiser me
>longer hair and beard, generic hot spaniard look
>dresses better, mostly comfy ivy-league-core
>/fit/ without being too jacked
>lives from investing/trading and having his own bookstore
>smokes pipe, enjoys the fine things in life
>bachelor and proud
>lives the philosophical life and lives with purpose
Sometimes I let him speak in my mind, he sounds like a bit like Gendo from NGE (his dub va, ofc).

>no drugs or alcohol (maybe just cbd cause it does seem to help chronic pain issues)
>not being lazy

>nofap and noporn and just sex in a monogamous and healthy relationship
>physically strong and always perusing more

>not shy and more confident in myself

What? I´m half german half spanish, and I hate to kiss peoples asses for money. And I like all fine things, be it food or art.

And that´s what I project in my Ideal Me.

Dude that's very valid. Slowly merge those two identities
Read psycho cybernetics it's very similar to this.

I think of myself as Alyth, a cock slut Elf.
A large portion of my time is spent perfecting my etiquette, honing my skills of persuasion and seduction with men, refining my appearance, and window/browse shopping for cute outfits for roleplay purposes, jewelry, and fashionable clothing. I also exercise and watch my nutrition. My leisure time is spent reading manga and listening to music, mostly classic rock.

So far everything has gone great. Met a man I'll be exclusive with rather recently, but sucked his cock on the second day. I will most definitely have sex with him with the intention of bottoming and losing my anal virginity on my birthday. After having a fun date beforehand, consisting of getting high, enjoying a nice meal, a good movie, and a hotel room preferably with a spa or jacuuzie for that fanciful day.

Everything I've said is true.

>>41560261
It's called narrative construction. Jordan Peterson would call it self-authoring. It's fine. You can't induce DID if that's what you're worried about.

>>41561823
He's not schizophrenic. He has DID. It can't be induced in the way OP is talking about. It's induced by severe trauma.

So...a tinkerer, eh? Fiddling at the fringes of unknown realms. Tell me, Kenneth, will you be ready when the flames of those evil places consume everything you hold dear?!

>>41561879
In the end in all boils down to: There will be people who like you and there will be people who dislike yo. Do what makes you happy, acknowledge who you are. everybody is hurting, everybody has shortcomings, noone is perfect. be open about yourself, be proud about what you do good and be open to learn about things you do not know a lot
strife to become the best version of yourself, not a good version of someone else. it would never make you truly happy

>>41560261
Why not just make that your actual self and skip the autistic LARPing?

maybe a lack of self-respect to actually commit

>>41563384
Would the alter ego have the same lack of self-respect? If not then what difference does it make? If so, what's the point if having an alter ego if it's still just shitty old you?

>>41563390
yeah, the point is to create a better version of himself so he can have enough self-respect to actually better his life. it's goofy but i get it.

>>41560306
Fucking this, OP, read a book called Modern Primitives by V. Vale and Andrea Juno

>>41563410
No shit, I get it too. Doesn't mean its not stupid and also doesn't answer any of my questions.

AUTIST TIP:

When I was 14-16 I played a game called World of Warcraft. It changed my life. In that game I had hundreds of friends; while in real life I had a handful. I was social, I was cocky. The global trade channels knew my name.

When I'm faced with a situation my normal self doesn't feel ready for, I envision that I'm my old WoW-self. The cocky rogue that didn't take shit from anyone and knew his worth.

It helped me break into personal training, socializing at bars, meeting new people, etc.

>>41560261

I tried this with some friends a few weeks ago.

>go out drinking
>dress like chads with chinos and shirts
>refer to each other as brad chad and Thad respectively
>end up getting drunk and no pussy like always

Pretty chill monker
