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 do do a few things co-consciously, but it takes effort and we don't like doing it around people. for example as children we'd play with dolls and everyone would pick a doll. or we'd play uno or monopoly through dolls. i think our kids still do that, but we don't like doing it around other people.

aside from stuff like that, there aren't many things that most of us are interested in doing all together.

it's kind of like when my friends say "it must be great being multiple! you get breaks!"

yeah, I get breaks from playing on the internet, playing with kitties, watching tv, watching a movie, playing cards, eating pizza... are we seeing a pattern here?

people are generally a lot less interested in giving whoever's out front a break from a migraine or bad period pains.

so if something is sufficiently fun and interesting, we'll have more people interested in taking part. but if it's a conversation, whoever's interested will talk, and we might switch when the topic changes, if whoever's been out got bored and someone else is interested.

Ha!

Three of us were having an argument the other night about whose turn it was to do the dishes. :P

one of the kids likes doing the dishes, but she mostly just splashes water and the dishes don't get all the clean. no one else /likes/ it. but it has to be done. bah. silly dishes.
