All it means is that certain aspects of your personality contradict each other. It's too broad of an adjective to explain in depth, but an example might be the fact that you're a quiet person but you can also be very loud (theoretically, of course. I have no idea what you're actually like).
Or, to make it more relevant to the forum, you could be an empathetic person, but seem very apathetic to certain topics/individuals.
by ShixPhaerI sort of switch between feeling no emotions and being over-empathetic, so I see how that could be thought of as "paradoxical".
The label seems like a misnomer though, since the only way for paradoxes to work in reality is for their individual parts to be accepted simultaneously. With empathy, it's more of an oscillation.
Is it possible to have multiple personalities that you clearly practice and define beforehand, but consciously switch between from the underlying perspective of a larger, third one?
Dunno about this, honestly. I have a schizophrenic friend who named a couple of her personalities, but she can't "practise" them in a conscious way; what is more, I don't think schizophrenia is one of you deseases, right?
