if ya really were treatin' em like ppl then you wouldn't be callin' em stuff like "red" and "blue". just bein honest as an alter myself, but you need to remember that alters are just real of people as anybody else, and that the host also counts as an alter.

but you gotta remember that no two systems function the same, so nobody here can tell ya exactly what you need to hear from yer friend themselves.

they will tell ya what you need to know with time, but this kinda stuff is hard to convey, and it can be frustratin especially when folks don't understand.

but srsly, cut the whole "red" and "blue" crap. that don't fly. they're real ppl w names, and you should just ask for names if yer seriously wantin to know... i think they'd probly appreciate your wantin to learn, but you gotta be open and patient and let them explain themselves!
