Do you have an alter ego...and if you do, when does it come out?

I believe I do. It comes out mostly when I'm intoxicated though, which isn't exactly good. Apparently, alcohol brings the BOLD out of me..the girl that I kept hidden inside. I wouldn't be afraid to do anything or say anything. My confidence would be so high that if I'm interested in someone at a club or party, I would just go straight up to them and talk to them. Something that I wouldn't do if I was sober.
When does your alter ego comes out? How much did you change from your normal self?

I also believe that I have an alter ego, and it comes out when I'm mad. And it's really really not good. When I'm mad, I tend to say things that I've never thought would ever come out of my mouth. I tend to do bad things that I really regret later on. It's really different from the usual "anger" that most of us experience. Mine is way worse, and really far from who I really am. I can't think straight and I don't realize what I'm doing and the damage I've done until I become calm again. For example, when I get mad, I tend to say bad things to my lover that I don't really mean. Then later on when I'm already calm I'll be like "Did I really say or do that?". I really hate my alter ego, but it's a part of me that I'd have to live with.

I think the most of us hates our alter-ego, that's why we leave it hidden most of the time. I can't exactly relate to you when it comes to anger because I'm a person that rarely gets angry...I get irritated, annoyed, and sometimes frustrated, but I haven't reach the anger part yet. Not yet, I know it's probably boiled up in there somewhere, waiting for me to explode one day.
It's okay, there are many ways of calming yourself down..it has been done before. My boyfriend has the same problem but he's doing a lot better now controlling his anger. Some people suggest meditating. Others suggest buying a punching bag. =)
I wish you the best in conquering that anger.

I think everyone have alter ego,but I don't think it appear when people drunk.
My consciousness is clear-headed even if I have drink. so someone can feel alter ego being difference. this is only myself opinion.
That picture about people evolvement is very interesting, as if there is a few country compare.
I don't know if I speak clear, god help me
