I've only had a few times where my alters front, but I remember everything they did, and I'm also entirely sure it wasn't me.
Like when my youngest fronted (8 years old) and my mom got mad at her for not doing something, she got so scared she literally shrank into a ball, she was also not used to having my body at all. Then, when another alter fronted and had a conversation with my best friend online.
I can remember every thought she had and every move she made. Also, when they front, I can still see everything they're doing, and I'm still present.
I'm confused, is this a thing?

Hey everyone
So, I have got about 13 alters in my system, but the thing is, they’re not always (all) around.
There are definitely times when I'm completely alone in my head, especially when I get into hyperfocus.
There are also times when I'm only with one or two of them in my system, like when I'm out to do something or at work.
I haven’t been diagnosed yet—I’m still waiting for that—so I’m not sure if I can really call them "alters."
They’re not just random thoughts, though; each one has a name and a distinct personality from my own.
(I think it's important to mention here that they don't front)
Most of them are characters from a game/series I watched, so their voices are super clear to me, and I can tell when they’re talking or doing their own thing.
But as I said, they're not always in my system.
So, do you guys think they're still considered alters?
