Split personalities
I was reading an interesting article on split personalities and wondered why is it people are like that on chat boards as well ... why can't they have one 'personality' and stick with it? Or is it perhaps in fact a true medical condition and the sufferer is not aware of their disorder.
Delving further I learnt it is closely linked to schizophrenia. In schizophrenia, however, the splitting is within one single personality as the individual's thoughts, feelings and emotions are seriously and confusingly disconnected from each other in a chaotic and random fashion. Schizophrenic individuals, far from having split or multiple personalities, actually have a great struggle maintaining the coherence and integrity of even a single self.
Psycology ... don't you just love it.

Re: Split personalities
Well i have studied to degree level: sociology, Psychology, Social Psychology, Child Psychology and Neural linguistic programming.
It gives 2 benefits
a) I can monkey around with peoples feelings and twist them to my own will
b) I can self assess myself and realise i need specialist care and constant supervision
