However, if you are conscience (believing in con-science) you can understand that thinking in the third person when dealing with someone else is psychology healthy.<br /><br />For instance, I'm going to a therapist. That therapist has to prescribe so many meds and wants to meet her quota as well as find as many sick people as she can in her neighborhood. I want to be relatively healthy and stay away from ECT and Lithium. I could use some meds, but I don't want to sound like Carie Fischer with obvious laps of time and reason while I talk.<br /><br />It is important for me to think in the third person to delegate my relationship with myself and my therapist to achieve a common ground and objective without becoming a guinea pig.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12355141386941685157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6497922338860035706.post-82982992855122007012008-08-09T15:45:00.000-07:002008-08-09T15:45:00.000-07:00Well, Grandy has a tendency to refer to herself in...Well, Grandy has a tendency to refer to herself in the 3rd person only on her blog.

If he does, you know you'd better get out of there because he's just about to lose it. Usually extreme anger or stress triggers his. Don't know why people would actually CHOOSE to do this.

You know his real name is John Johnson or something. He probably changed his name to just "Suede" like "Cher" or something.Kirstenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05648349804434938726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6497922338860035706.post-56797503773801745622008-08-06T09:10:00.000-07:002008-08-06T09:10:00.000-07:00Drives me nuts when people do this.

I suspect it's an attempt to distance themselves from responsibility for their own actions, or - more likely - an attempt to make sure that OTHERS remember their name by repeating it again and again. Or maybe it's a dissociative personality disorder in which the speaker serves only as the narrator for the other personality. Anyway, Christian annoyed the hell out of me last season, and Suede is doing the same for me this season.Goddesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01469154981286184462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6497922338860035706.post-82215570356168205862008-08-06T08:19:00.000-07:002008-08-06T08:19:00.000-07:00I might if my first name were something unique or ...I might if my first name were something unique or related to my career as Suede's is.
