Some of us get self-conscious when the family asks who they're talking to and they have to introduce themselves for the first time. Then at the other end of the scale, some of our more regular fronters get uncomfortable when the brother comments that they've been out a lot. It's almost as though they feel we should divide the time more evenly.

According to our therapist there are over 90 in our... well, not our system, but our "country", perhaps. There are more over the borders, and there is a group of "natives", neither of which count towards that total. We are all very distinct when we front, and something else that often makes us uncomfortable is when another system says they do not know who is fronting. None of us are quite sure how you can not be sure who you are.
