If you are asking how someone might know it was an alter and not just themselves feeling different emotions for me it is easy: They were not me and I did not feel their emotions at all. They were very, very separate. When my alters were out they had their own thoughts, memories, emotions and sense of self, and also perceived thmeselves to be completely different entities from both me and all the others.
*I* did not feel completed different when I switched. *I* did not feel or know anything at all. When I switched into an alter, the alter that was out felt whatever feelings belonged to them.
Much later into my therapy (after years and years of it) there was much more blurring of the lines between us and I was able to feel emotions that my alts shared with me, but we still had a very distinct awareness of what belonged to our own self and what belonged to the other.
