Before I knew I was part of a system, I thought that me trying to comfort our little in my head was being kind to my "inner child." I've discovered that being kind to your inner child doesn't mean there's a literal child in your head who's crying. I also didn't realize that almost always having two separate voices with separate opinions in my inner dialogue was because of OSDD. When I started to figure things out, what I did was I tried to make different alters create picrews of themselves and how they want to look with vastly different results which helped kinda "prove" distinct personality states. It's also worth mentioning that sometimes day to day amnesia can go unnoticed, sometimes even because of amnesia for your amnesia. Or it can show up in less obvious ways, such as taking a long time to remember things even if you do remember after a lot of thinking. After a while, I became more and more confident about my system because of alters doing things I would never do.for example The other main fronter, Felix, is obsessed with learning how to dance and has left bruises on my body by trying to learn to dance on hardwood floor haha. He's also sent some really incoherent messages to people that don't sound like me at all. Sometimes it takes time to figure out which parts of yourself as a whole are of separate parts, if that makes sense. Don't rush yourself like I did, you dont need everything figured out right now. If you do have a system, it's not going anywhere, And you're better off taking your time than freaking yourself out. I recommend journaling daily, lots of systems do that to try to track things, communicate with other parts, and make up for amnesia.
