Overriding

undefined:

Overriding is common within new systems (especially for hosts), and describes the situation and the feeling when a headmate's thoughts "override" the other's.

This often happens because the brain will try to guess what the other will say, since the host's own thoughts can be much louder than other headmate's at the start.

Overriding can cause intense fear from "controlling" the other headmates, and can be confusing and disorientating to experience. However as system communication improves over time overriding should become less and less common.

A way to help manage overriding is by trying to ask the headmate what they meant, and then not thinking anything at all. This way you can learn to identify which thoughts belong to who.
