Under The Whip

A place where a humble blind service submissive can calm her mind and clear out the corners with her thoughts, opinions, stories, experiences, and tribulations.

“What parts of yourself do you hide from most people, and why?”



I don't necessarily hide things about myself, but I also don't always offer everything up freely. If you ask me a specific question, I'll be open and answer honestly because, to me, there's really no reason to hide anything. But there are some things I don't typically bring up unless asked.

 

For example, I have Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), and I also was diagnosed as a sociopath. These are parts of who I am, but I don't always feel the need to share them with everyone. I lack empathy and compassion, and sometimes I struggle to understand societal norms. These traits can make it difficult for me to relate to people the way they might expect. I also have alters within my system. While I only really know of one alter, Lexi, I’ve been told there are others, though we don't communicate with each other. You might notice I sometimes refer to "we" in my writing, and that's because of my experience living with DID.

 

The reason I don't just offer this up is that people often judge me or simply don't seem to care to understand what it is really like. Hollywood tends to portray DID in a way that sensationalizes it, making it seem as though people like me are violent or monstrous, which couldn’t be further from the truth. It is a complicated and often messy experience, and I think there's a lot of misunderstanding out there.

 

Despite all of this, I do my best to thrive. I make it a mission of mine to learn about empathy and compassion, even though it is something that doesn't come naturally to me. I try to understand what those things mean and how to connect with others in a way that feels genuine, even if I don't always succeed. Ultimately, I just want to be understood for who I really am, without all the labels or misconceptions.
