But I know they are not full alters... mostly they just hold a particular trauma or type of trauma.
But I don't feel the need to 'cope' with it. It just is.
Do you drink alcohol?

Your description of finding new ones and them not being "full alters" sounds much like the parts of me that I find. They hold moments, images and emotions that explode in a undercurrent. It takes time for me to realize what's going on and connect with it. That's the hard part! I think that usually, after a connection and understanding has happened, then things calm down and we can work together.
My counselor told me week before last to "play the game as it comes to me. Don't pressure it. Just let it come." That may not be exactly how he worded it, but that's how I remember it.
Anyway.
Do I drink alcohol?
I drink beer and I like it. [emoji4]. I really like trying the different craft beers. There is actually a pizza place here that has a large selection of craft beers on tap and they will let you sample them all if you like, and pick your favorite. That's fun!! [emoji7]. I don't drink hard alcohol. It doesn't do nice things for me. Wine gives me a horrible headache.
How do you connect with the parts of you? Does connecting with other parts mess with your time perception? Sorry I know that was 2 questions. I'm just really struggling with the time thing right now.
ETA: added the second question. Forgive me!
