Ask. Learn to listen for their voice I guess. I did it by automatic handwriting technique, it was painstakingly slow at first when I was 13, after awhile though, it got faster till I realized or made a connection that I was hearing the word being written after it was written....then I said hello and Suzy said hi back. OMG!

It was a matter of separating my thoughts from their thoughts which were my thoughts but weren’t. I also begun noticing that they had different, timbre, pitch, tone, and a manner of speaking. I often describe it as a form of telepathy....communicating with a voice in normal conversation...mostly as acquaintances. Since then, blah blah blah is all I inner hear. Our thoughts over ride each other thoughts like people trying to over talk each other at all hours of the day. Even when we are asleep parts that are awake going blah blah often waking me up.

We aren’t exactly close, more like separate people with a common cause, this life. I’m sure we got some empathic parts in here, but they tend to get their feelings hurt easily and refuse to front up. Quite a few of them came out here 3 years ago, but they quit presenting due to inner persecutors, mean people, embarrassment...like an exposed nerve they ran and hid.

This is why I usually compare my system to a captain and crew... it takes all of us to survive a day in life.

It’s interesting to note what Amanda said about different kinds of system....for even on these forums we still feel different...not quite as clinically correct, for we don’t have the classic DID symptoms made famous, I guess....just a hodgepodge of goobely gook, lol...so I don’t know if you are able to achieve all this....it’s just natural for us.

I don’t know, I wish I had the peace and quiet of a non-co-hosting, non-co-conscious mind....I think.
