I think it may be a difference in the inner workings, what you are referring to...
For us, we are all our own persons. I am me and the others are themselves. But there have been times when our sense of self has become really muddied, where we sort of all drift in and out of self-awareness. This doesn't happen often, but is extremely frightening and disconcerting (for us) when it does happen. It's like you're losing yourself...
Outside of those limited times when there is a sort of system-wide issue happening, we're all our own people.
I think it may be prevailent that members of multiple systems, especially systems with hosts that are also co-conscious, may question who they are. When I first came around to the rest of my family, I did that a lot.
I don't recommend it for people, because I spent a lot of time being very depressed and uncertain about myself at first.
