Alter using my mouth to speak?

Hello.

I'm hoping somebody might be able t clear something up for me. I'm perpetually on the fence about the possibility of me actually having anything relatable to this forum, but it's kind of hard to ignore with a child alter coming out at work and other goings on. I learned somebody's name the other day too!

Anyway trying to stay focused here. Sometimes when I'm having a conversation with one or two of my head mates I'll get a response from one of them (or perhaps someone else entirely) using my actual physical mouth. It's always a short response, generally a short sentence or maybe just the word "yes." When this happens it seems like it's not even me saying it. It happens unconsciously or even against my will, and I usually feel scared and panicky, confused, ashamed embarrassed foolish and even angry immediately afterward. And then I start repeating over and over again in my head now it's all fake and it's just me talking to myself being stupid or trying to get attention (which makes so much sense considering that this is when I'm alone and I never tell anyone a damn thing about any of this).

Anyway I just don't know for sure. Does this seem like I would just do this out of boredom or maybe just I'm just absent minded and paranoid? I mean people do talk to themselves and do things absent mindedly, so I'm thinking maybe it's not as abnormal as I seemed to think...

It's not common for us, but it has definitely happened a couple times.

Not embarassnig when we're alone, we've had two parts taking turns using the mouth and talking with each other.

Embarassing when we were on the phone with a friend, and another part suddenly blurted out something unexpected.

this happens to me.

my voice is so different I can't find anyway to deny it. it's what sent host tumbling down the rabbit hole.

We talk to ourselves so often it is no real surprise when an Alter (most often a little) expresses things through our mouth, like saying, "crayons!" while we are in Toys 'r' Us. Translated, that means we had better purchase some crayons or some littles are going to be upset. Emotionally they break through far more often, with tears, pouty feeling, childish anger...

Not a lot but it's definitely happened.

Yup, normal a system that mult tasks there isn't going to be a way to do everything from hear. Yep talking out both sides of the neck squabbling and knowing it, yes it all is very normal

This has happened. On fact one of my friends knew I was DID before I told her because of change of voice.
I’ve also just shut up a couple times when I could tell another’s voice was about to come out in situation where it wasn’t ok. Weird feeling for sure

how is this stopped...?

thanks everyone for commenting

Sometimes (not often) I will have earphones in and phone in my hand walking home or whever and engage in a full on conversation where one part of me speaks using my mouth while another (or more than 1) will reply internally. If someone where just listening to the voice they would actually assume I am talking to a friend as I give pause in between to listen to the internal replies and then reply verbally
