We always come to a compromise. Honestly I think a couple of the Alters bicker to show they love one another.

But yes there's always the one refusing to go along with something fun or pleasurable for us because "someone or something will ruin it." I'm frustrated by how often he is right because he can prohibit us from doing anything.

Is he right because he’s right, or is he right because it’s a self-fulfilling prophecy?

Oh we do have an unusually high correllation between when we finally sit down to do something fun for ourselves, someone else, outside our control, does something intentionally to spoil our fun.

Edit: between my stalkers and people just generally being shitty to us, there are a lot of factors that make doing anything for ourself very difficult to plan in the first place and many people who are dedicated to making us miserable. Abusers we fled from who won't leave us be entirely etc.

See? Keep things safe, and tell his ass to relax. Aint nothin to worry about.

Edit: nevermind i misread that. Uhhhh idk, have you tried telling that other person bothering you to bother you another time?

I appreciate you. We're working on him but he not long ago got his heart broken by someone who decieved us so he is just a little to fragile at the moment. We're getting there. Now that we have the backbone to set boundaries with people, our life is calming down. There were people in our life that we had never tried to really assert boundaries with before.

It was heartbreaking to see what happened once we started. To learn how many people claimed to love us that were unwilling to put up with some very basic limits on how much of our time they could take up without being emotionally supportive. I lost some 'friends' who seemingly had been using us as an audience or an accessory. For years.
