Is it normal or common or whatever to be able to feel that a certain alter needs to front? We got really uncomfortable yesterday, still not sure why, but I could feel really clearly that another alter needed to be in front? I'm not sure how I could tell, it was just this really strong kinda instinctive feeling that he needed to be in front and then I got distressed that he wasn't fronting because we felt like he needed to.
I would have said that this was just him wanting to front and me being able to feel it, apart from the fact that I don't think he was anywhere near front. I couldn't sense him near front or hear him, he wasn't communicating with me, I genuinely don't think he was even close to front. But yet it still felt like he needed to front. I can't explain how it felt in much detail because I honestly don't remember how it felt, I just know that I felt it. We were also kind of dissociating a little bit? Like, losing time in blocks of a few minutes and just generally feeling a bit off.
I guess what I'm asking is has anybody else experienced this? Was it him wanting to front, or was it me wanting him to front for some reason? I'm pretty sure we couldn't get him to front, in the end. We tried some positive triggers that we thought might work, but I don't think they did. For context, he's a fictive and we were engaging with his source at the time, and the feeling went away shortly after we stopped engaging with his source, I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it.
