haha it's all good. so like, first off, we're not "alters" in the usual way media portrays it, or like people with DID experience. ours is a different kind of plurality; we're what's called a median system. we're quite similar to one another, and are more or less "variants" of one another, sometimes called "facets". we're all very aware of each other's presence and who is active when can vary. the distinction between us can even be very blurry, with us not always able to distinctly say we're a specific one of us. we are aware of each other's thoughts and more or less share a lot of the internal brain processes, so communication involves a lot of intentional effort to listen for when others want to convey something. sometimes it's with words, sometimes just the thought/vibe is sufficient. we also have a discord server just for us where we take turns using the linguistic brain parts for more in depth conversations.
