I've been doing research on mental illnesses lately, mainly the following;

Psychopathy

Sociopathy

Bipolarism

DID/MPD

Schizophrenia

And...

Something ain't right. I can relate to too much of this. And I do have a moderate chance of being both Schizotypal (Partial Schizophrenia), and Antisocial... Heh, maybe I'm just being paranoid, but hear me out.


"Dissociative identity disorder (DID), also known as multiple personality disorder (MPD),[1] is a mental disorder characterized by at least two distinct and relatively enduring identities or dissociated personality states. These states alternately show in a person's behavior, accompanied by memory impairment for important information not explained by ordinary forgetfulness."

Forgetting names and faces when they remember me... Even voices. I never forget a face, as far as I know.
