all participants were able to identify multiple voices and influences and in the end made the decision - if possible - taking into account all of them for the given moment.
Fascinating study! Being aware of all possible viewpoints and giving credence to them - allowing them all a voice and a space to breathe before ultimately taking a consciously informed decision oneself. I think this is what actually plays out beneath the surface of most decisions when people take the time to consider them properly.
As for my story - it was written from the viewpoint of Emily, who is presumed to be the original persona. I purposefully threw in digressive viewpoints (not necessarily aligned with my own)... and there was no intention to equate homosexuality with schizophrenia at all. There is no medical, scientific, or another basis for this. I simply gave one persona certain character traits and the other persona ones that may differ from the original and cause an additional ideological divide. As Nickydee commented (and I am still catching up with replies !LOLZ) ... Max seems like she could be a lot of fun under certain circumstances.
But yes, it must be gut-wrenching to struggle with D.I.D. (aka split personality disorder). Trying to control the narrative at all times and not being in a position to do so must make one feel rather helpless.
