Question

When someone else is fronting, does it feel like you're just watching from inside your body, but you have no control of what it's doing? It happened to me a few times yesterday, like my body went on "auto-pilot" and all I was doing was watching. I couldn't "sense" anyone else being in charge tho, so it's weird... I'm just trying to sort out what's happening!

probably about 95% of the time when I feel like I'm on auto-pilot & just watching it's someone else fronting. the other 5% of the time I'm really tired, have a fever, am bored, spacey, etc etc and it's all just me.

since i didn't know i was multiple for 25+ years, it took a long time before i realised that the auto-pilot feeling was because someone else was out, especially since i didn't lose time in the traditional way.

i *think* that the more i'm able to really be in the body when i'm out, the more that i can tell the difference. but it's a slippery thing. especially because even when i'm not out i get all sorts of physicaly sensations etc etc just with a slight time-delay -- and of course i thought until a few years ago that everyone spent a lot of the time time-delayed!
