My thread was a more or less serious question about those who suffer from such disorder. The movies that I quoted were extreme examples, but I think overall that's an interesting issue if one person develops two or more totally different personalities.... - not only on a message board, but also in real life.
Perhaps some GFY'ers who seem totally normal have also different personalities which show up in different scenarios (or would having such a disorder mean that a persons' different personalities would show up evidently in each situation where the person spends a lot of time on, so in other words on GFY as well?). I'm far from being an expert but IMO this disorder doesnt reffer to bipolar disorders, its rather connected with having really multiple personalities and often (or always?) not being aware of it. That can be "funny" to watch but also quite dangerous probably, especially if these personalities are totally different.
Perhaps someone will share more insight into this.
