An important breakthrough I had in therapy when I explained my alter ego to my therapist is when she said that it is not a mask or a costume that I wear, it is who I really am without my fears, trauma, or struggles. The "you are not Clark Kent, you are actually Superman" moment.

Two of my college friends had "alternate egos". I worked with many people over the years who had "alternate egos", including CEOs. Whatever helps get you through the day, make friends, and have fun, I say go for it!

As an introvert I realized a couple months ago that I create an "extrovert mode" that I activate in big social events like birthday parties, weddings, etc. Since then, I call myself as a "socially functional introvert" haha. Now I relate that "mode" with this alter ego effect concept.

It's crazy how no one is talking about Women’s Magic Truths on Borlest. This book has secrets that could change everything, but people seem blind to it. Wake up and see for yourself!

This is what "fake it till you make it" means to me. I accidentally created an alter ego years go. I was super shy and quiet. typical headphones on, staring at the ground as I walked. So closed up, I walked right past 1 friend setting another on fire(by accident) and completely missed it. She's fine, by the way. Just some pills on her clothes burnt up. but then around age 20 I started working renaissance faires, as a pirate/privateer. And that requires a lot of interacting with strangers. My group really leaned into the improv/street acting element of it all. So I had to build a character with a history and personality traits. So through years of playing this bold, gregarious rake.(Imagine Porthos The Pirate from 3 musketeers, but less tall tales) I noticed that I would go out more, talk to strangers, have fun in the chaos that is social life. I grew into the shape I had built for myself. I can definitely attest to alter egos.

To be honest, for myself, I am not sure about adopting an alter ego. I feel like I am tucking away a part of myself. I want to improve my whole self, elevating it to where I want to be. Maybe I execute an alter ego in way. I push myself to do things I don't normally do, but I still consider those actions my own. Anyways, another great video. I personally find your videos infectious. Also, you remind me of my sister. Luckily, I love my sister lol.

This is so crazy because when I was around 15-18 I got inspired by the Billy Milligan story and created 3 alter egos. But I had to “kill” them eventually.

So, here’s why. One of the alter-egos was strict and determined and I “activated” her when I had to do homework or chores. Because the real me hated doing homework and chores but one of my alter-egos loved that.

Another alter-ego was extroverted and carefree, spiritual and even flirty. She was activated around people when I had to be friendly and confident. Cause the real me was shy and melancholic.

The third one was bossy and I “activated” her when I had to be assertive and really confident.

Each of them had name, surname, date of birth, nationality and specific appearance description. That all made them become “alive”.

As you can see, they were pretty useful. So why did I have to “kill” them? Two reasons.

First, when I shared the story of my alter-egos with others, they considered me as a crazy person. So I was afraid that would exclude me from the society even more.

Second, at times I began to actually believe that there are other peephole in my head that take please and control me. In other words, I started to believe in it a little bit to much.

So, after weighing pros and cons, I made a decision. There’s only one me. And I want to me someone else, I can simply “borrow” the traits of that someone that would benefit me.

Now, after seeing this video, I’m amazed at how around 10 years ago these alter-egos were created by me as a tool to adapt in the society. I wasn’t going crazy. I was just a teenager who wanted to fit and succeed.

So, maybe my dearest alter-egos may come back to life? But wait! There’s no need, I guess. Cause as I observe how I grew and changed over the years, I can see a little bit of every alter-ego in myself. Maybe that’s because they were never other people in my head. It was me all along.

as an artist we sometimes have our own alter egos that we draw out. most of us are pretty introverted so this is a way for us to express ourselves. i never thought of using my artist ego as my alter ego but it would be a huge boost in confidence

[magicwandm]

Find your current traits
Find the opposite traits that you want
find an idol that is befitting to get into it
Get into it with an activity. Draw write think about it.. Figure it right through the process
Name it. It should be a name you're emotionally attached with and the name has to invoke the superpowers you want to have
An item that invokes your alter ego

Thanks for keeping it post, Tina. 'Alter ego' concept is quite powerful. Rather than comparing myself to others, I compare myself to an alternative 'me' version.

You present the most novel ideas outside of the self-help spheres its always a breath of fresh air

I always viewed a suit as my corporate armor. 1 people respond differently when your dressed sharp vs a T, flip flops and cargo shorts. 2 when I was off from my work peeling off those clothes has a relaxing effect to my surprise. Having work clothes vs casual I find an important distinction. There are times that dressing down can be smart say shopping for a deal or wanting to be incognito.

[Protract_Loop]

I unconsciously used to practice alter ego, but recently it broke somehow, making my interests change, I didn't knew what happened to me, but now your video makes it clear and made a way for me to overcome this problem.Thanks

[alexiadauvergne]

I was writing a super long description of my alter ego in comment but it felt deeply personnal and she is so cool that I don't want to share her. 🙈
But I've created a pinterest board, a youtube sub-account and a spotify playlist tailored to her interest. I've also defined habits, favorite meals and even her signature smell so it helps for invoking her.

[wowamber]

It's crazy to see this put like this, ever since i stated teaching i noticed when I'm in my class I'm a completely different person, you have to be firm, confident and articulate, all things i struggled with as well as presenting ideas and put yourself in front of a grupe. I am all those things teaching, im stern, articulate and strong, all things that i always saw myself being as an adult and had to push myself to be in my twenties. We do this without even knowing!!

Unlocking our alter ego can indeed be a game-changer in reaching our full potential. This video provides valuable insights into the 'alter ego effect, ' a fascinating concept that can empower us to break through limitations and tap into our hidden abilities. It's a reminder that sometimes, we need to step into a different mindset to unleash our true potential.

I am intensely introverted, and have worked my way into a specialization in strategy and risk so that I can manage the number of people contacts I have through any given day. I'm too tall, clumsy, stutter and flush, don't present well, and prefer writing.
I am also a guitarist and songwriter and am quite happy getting out on stage to play for 1000 people. I love it. But I don't do it every day.

[BLdramaClub]

So, I have already created an alter ego in my mind have been acting on it; just was unaware of it. And I kept calling it 'my true self'.

[nanaisloved]

This is actually such a great hack, I study psychology and there are studies proving it. Nevertheless, when I suggest using thst in therapy, everyone is hating on me for talking down mental health struggles etc😢
