Sorry if this is a silly question. Not really sure how to phrase this, but I'll try my best.

I know I have 'more active' alts, who come out most often, who are the most vocal. I keep a journal that sometimes they write in... communication isn't great but I'm not in therapy for DID so it's the best I have right now.

But sometimes those alts, they refer to other ones I have never heard of... which really confuses me. The other ones have names and everything, but they don't write, I can never hear them or anything, but they're mentioned a lot.

I've tried writing in the journal myself who are they, and tried asking, but I don't get answers, and if I do, it's just a basic answer, repeating their name. I was thinking of trying to make a list or something

And the more active ones... they don't really listen to me that much and I'm not really sure how to get them to listen... I still often get referred to by my old name by them and just something as simple as that I can't seem to get them to change.

Opinions or anything would be appreciated, once again sorry if this is a silly question... may be diagnosed with DID but that doesn't mean I'm very clued in.
