Skitzu

With written words, I am mouthful. I talk a lot. I never get the dead air silence. I get to work and rework my sentences.

In verbal communication, I stummer. I mumble a lot. I use gestures and facial expression instead of words - and I'm terribly funny (yeah right)

So the question is whether I really am the same person, or I might be suffering from dual personality.

So I made a thought experiment.

If my capacity to write is to be removed, will I still be who I am now. Thinking of the extreme, what if I got blind, deaf and mute; would I still be the same person now.

For sure, I still am. What's different is the interpretation of the person reading or talking to me.

So I guess the question I should be asking regarding identity is whether you are still who you are (as a reader and listener), no matter who I am (as a write and a speaker).

Talking about egocentrism.
