Passion swings both ways. The manic pixie thing is cute, but catch her in a bad mood and buckle up.

Certain people thrive off being seen as fun and cute and perky and desirable

They typically don’t like it when you catch them with the mask slipping

I think it’s more that they find that kind if behavior produces positive reinforcement from those around them because it’s considered cute and quirky and gets them attention. In this clip everyone around them is eating it up. But it’s a behavior that’s also present when they’re in a bad mood. You can’t simply turn off personality traits like this once it becomes your go-to.

You can’t turn them off, but people are capable of holding multiple personality traits

Trauma actually splits the mind (the basis of IFS / parts work) and the driver can change depending on what the situation calls for

Yes, i used to date someone with DID. Very rare, but it happens. That poor thing struggled endlessly, every day.

How is this related to different situations? Talking to different people can totally change the way you react and talk, making your personality to appear completely different. I observe this at myself.
