It’s us the plural anon (anons?)How do you…get to that point, even? How do you start talking? For us, it’s a feeling, it’s a fleeting “Huh?” and then, occasionally, the “Huh?” turns suddenly and sometimes upsettingly into what feels like a switch. That “second half” headmate especially tends to front like this – not intentionally, but he seems to have the easiest time “fitting” into Front, so if something happens…y’know.Lately we find our attempts at communication to be…hard. If the original tries to talk to him, it either feels hollow (like standing in an empty room) or it feels blurry and co-fronty (like behind held onto, if that makes sense), which makes it hard to tell who’s saying what, or even if there IS a second person in the discussion.How do we even get to that middle ground of talking? Do we just need to keep trying and have faith? Is there something we’re doing wrong?
We actually have some advice for this! Talking ‘mind to mind’ internally often can get muddled and mixed up– that blurry or co-fronty feeling that you describe.
The biggest way we get around that is to write your communication externally instead of talking internally!
Some ways to do that are:
- use pluralkit in discord to type back and forth to one another chat style.
- leave notes for each other or write back and forth on paper
- write a conversation between you as if you were writing characters in a novel.
In our system we use all three of these. We have a diary/journal where we leave notes for one another. We talk back and forth in private discord, and we do a lot of conversations as a form of ‘fanfiction’.
