Greetings, all

I've been lurking here for a few days, now -- reading all the FAQ's and such that I could find.

I believe myself to be multiple, although I suppose I could be median or something of the sort. I'm almost always fronting -- Alex fronted one time and there were less than desirable results so we haven't tried that again yet. There's three inhabitants that are vocal, and quite a few (I never bothered getting a count -- it would take too long) that are less than vocal living out in the various towns that populate my head.

Anyways, I had a question for you lot. We're trying to get a better co-concious going so we can hear each other better. Right now everyone's a little fuzzy and we've had feelings hurt due to miscommunication. Advice would be appreciated.

Katters out.

Thank you for the advice. I used to meditate, but stopped for several reasons. Maybe that's why they've been getting fuzzier?

I'll give it a try. Thanks again!

The best bit of advice we received was to leave notebooks lying around with pens. Write a little something in each, encouraging everyone to open communication and go from there.

We didn't really *need* to do this though, but it helped with arguments/miscommunications, etc.

Good luck and welcome.

Ooh, I like that idea. I'll give it a try!

Thank you!

Or, if you live with family and they don't need to know/wouldn't understand, just keep them in your room. Give some sort of hint to turn to a certain page to leave messages and fill the rest of the notebooks with quotes, recipes.. etc. You get the idea, I'm sure.

Glad you're here. :) Hope we can all help y'all some.

That helped with us, too ^^

Also, something our 'host' would do for each of us is take us places and let us listen to whatever music was on (even if she didn't like it). Sometimes when we found things we liked that she didn't, when we'd come across those things again, it helped us to front more easily...if that makes sense? I guess just expose your system to a lot of things and pay attention to what the others like or dislike.

Completely agreed.

Figuring out likes/dislikes is very important. It can play into many arenas. Food, music, clothing, etc.

Some here LOVED a knit sweater a distant great-aunt sent the Core, but it wasn't a style/color that most of us would touch with a ten foot pole. It's just all about figuring out what everyone likes and what they're willing to tolerate in the name of survival, etc. Sigh. I ramble entirely too often.

Wow, how I *love* LJ's habit of "parameter missing" bollocks eating your comments. GG LJ!

To try and say again, only our newest member has problems, and that's mostly because he's a fucking dolt, and without thoughtsharing we're kind of scrabbling in the dark. We use LJ a lot, reading each other's entries. Occasional comments back and forth. You could use IM if it wasn't 'too fast', emails for slower. Letters, post it notes. A notebook for communication, use it like a message board everybody checks once a day. You could leave Word documents saved as "For XYZ" on the computer desktop.

As someone said above, music can be good for pulling people out of fuzziness/blendiness. We use it a lot. Various things that people enjoy. Like we discovered that I will come out almost no matter what at the prospect of sticking our head right under the shower (unlike Lu who would rather live with a washbasin if that was a requirement of showers). Or that I'll front almost instantly for my plants, where Lu will front almost instantly for anything 'shiny'.

We all write in our journals. sometimes it's like an exercise in fronting or trying to figure out who we are, or if we can front solo or with someone else. some of us front in pairs and can't seem to not do that, and it gets hard to know which name to sign off as. XD
