Rapid Switching

[redrainstorm.livejournal.com]

When in a chatroom with alleged multiples, they seem to switch very quickly between their mates. In one comment they're a little, and two seconds later they're a big, and three seconds after that they're an "angry alter", etc. For many reasons other then this though, I believe they're faking. But just wondered if this is possible for others.
I've tried to have my group better at rapid switching where we can switch out quickly and be completely separate while fronting because I think it would benefit certain situations, and I can't do it that fast.
Cofronting is even difficult... Our thoughts are kind of meshed... Or come out as one thought between the two of us. But they don't come out "I want to go!" "Me too!" All in one blurb.
I was wondering if people can truly switch as fast as these people in the chatroom do, because we can't do it even when trying!

We only do revolving-door switching when we're really stressed and upset. However, in writing, we all speak. Whoever's fronting writes/types, but anyone who wants to can chime in. So it's not switching, but in a chatroom setting it would enable lots of us to talk. Maybe that's what you're seeing.

That's pretty much how it works in here. What actually led to my conceptualising the system as plural was a sudden switch.

Most of our life is conducted as a fluid semi-integrated state; at most given moments there will be two and four sharing front and contributing nuances, but the low-impact ones drift in and out without affecting much, and the active ones drift down to low-impact fairly readily.

I don't like the fast switches. They tend to leave me feeling discontinuous.

Same here.
