None of us have a tendency to try to force ourselves to conform to fit in with anyone. Some of us did that in high school and it never worked. It only made us more lonely, though psych meds have a lot to do with that loneliness.
We're pretty sure there are others, besides those who we know of, just because there are times when someone will use the body that has no idea who they are and who is not like any of the ones we know of. We don't have black-outs or anything when we do switch, we just remember everything we didn't do in a dream-like state. Kind of like trying to remember a dream, only it's what someone did yesterday while using the body. We also base knowing on which voice is being used mentally. It sounds weird, but to us it makes sense. We all have different voices and presences, and we can't always verbalize to know. However, the key is that sometimes we have to kind of ask ourselves who we are, especially when we're switching a lot.
We don't think it's good for anyone, systems or singlets, to force themselves to be what they're not. We have to pretend enough to be "normal" when dealing with "normal people", but that's usually not fun. We would probably mentally smack each other if one of us even suggested the concept of making ourselves "like other multiples", just because we're individuals and we each have tried to force ourselves to be something we're not, especially in high school when only one of us was allowed to front at a time.
Yeah. This was long-winded again. I hope it answered your questions though.
