    Default Acting like dual type under stress

    I remember reading that under extreme stress one can act like one's dual.

    Has anyone had this experience?

    I am not acting as myself lately as I am in a bit of a depression.

    I understand that this is how identical relationships are supposed to work... one or both take the role of the dual in certain situations.

    In a nightclub, my extroverted dual can appear as introverted to me when dancing as i can appear extroverted to them in the layman's sense of being outgoing.

    It's so blindingly obvious when someone's your dual that they fade into the background unless another spots what you fail to see 'cause you can't acknowledge your feelings.
    Remember to keep things simple and not any simpler like Einstein once said.

    I tend to behave like a mirror more than a dual when I come out of my shell, at least at this phase in my life.

    Could you go more in to this? I have a hard time identifying my dual of the opposite sex. If I may ask, what do you see when you see SLI females?

    The artifact which is the source of my power will not be kept on the Mountain of Despair beyond the River of Fire guarded by the Dragons of Eternity. It will be in my safe-deposit box. The same applies to the object which is my one weakness.
