I have a question. When one of you takes control over the body for awhile, how is it for the other ones? Is it like watching and seeing what happens but not being able to influence it like a movie or like sleeping? (Also I’m sorry that I keep asking you such questions, plurality is just fascinating to me and I’m a very curious person :’) )
We don’t mind the questions at all, its fun to talk about ourselves. 🤣
There are a few different states system members can be in when not directly fronting.
Co-fronting: the person is in equal or semi equal control of the body as the main fronter.
Co-present: the person is not in control of the body, but is fully conscious and aware of the outside world; possibly maintaining a dialogue with the fronter.
Near back (peanut gallery): the person is not actively aware or fully conscious of what the body is doing, but may be alerted to what’s going on or comment on thoughts or feelings. The person or persons in front are probably aware of what the people in this status are doing.
Far back (inner world): this person is completely disengaged from the body and interacting internally with other members in our internal world. The people in the front are probably unaware of what they’re up to. Hard for them to get to the front at a moment’s notice.
Dormant: basically asleep lol
