I'm not sure if you already have a post about this (if so, can you please link me to it?) but can you please explain exactly what passive influence is and how it works, how it might feel to a host, etc? I have a very vague understanding of what it is, and I'm curious to know more!

I don’t believe that we already have a post about passive influence on this blog, no. However, I do have information about it on my website!

Passive influence can be described as intrusions from alters that are not currently prominent in the mind or using the body. This may manifest as ego-alien thoughts, feelings, emotions, opinions, preferences, urges, or actions. These intrusions may vary in strength and influence and may result in the fronting alter taking actions or voicing opinions that they can’t explain or account for. These intrusions may also cause the fronting alter to gain skills and abilities that they do not usually have (such as public speaking despite normally suffering from social phobia) or losing skills and abilities that they would expect to always be there (such as reading or recognizing loved ones). Memories that are transmitted through passive influence may not remain once the influence is over, leaving the fronting alter unable to recall what the memory contained. On the other hand, passive influence may also lead to certain memories, emotions, sensations, or views becoming inaccessible to the fronting alter until the influence ends.

I hope that this helps!
