If you're able to access memories from when someone else is in control of the body you share, do they tend to include a feeling of 'the general sensation of being person X'? If so, how does it influence your use of the memories?

(If the question is unclear, feel free to ask about it. This is one of those posts where English is fairly inadequate.)

It depends. We tend to front in groups the majority of the time, so most of the memories we have and share don't tend to get "personalized" by one person. We tend to get more of the perspective of whoever was at front than the feeling of being them when sharing memories, although it largely depends on the emotional side of things involved.

We've found that highly emotionally charged memories tend to carry more of the person's identifying energy, and emotions can easily bleed from one person to the next when sharing such memories, and cause a certain degree of blendiness. We've never experienced it to the point of being confused about identity, but we do know the feeling.

That alone doesn't stop us from sharing memories, though. Really it's up to the individual in question, and whether or not they want to share with anybody else.
