What would you do or how would you conduct yourself if the many worlds theory was actually true and you knew for a fact that it was true, and let's say you were in one of the character's position?

If I were Professor Buzzard I think I would have probably would not have told all the students about the many-worlds theory knowing how impactful it could be. Maybe just one or two students.

Literally everything as this is the assumption of the theory So I would conduct myself in every possible way (in this worldline this way, in another one, another way), creating even more different outcomes, and then adjusting to the consequences, and so on, and creating more new outcomes and so on.
Let's not forget that the multiverse theory says EVERY possible situation must occur. And what we read in the book are also just a few chosen worldlines, but there are countless other possibilities.

If it was me I will feel terrible about what has happened but I’d get over it eventually because it truly wasn’t my fault however it will remain a secret and I’ll make an active effort to prevent it from happening again in future.

I would have told someone close to me and seen their reaction. If they had believed me, i would have moved on to tell others. Otherwise of no one believed me, i would never talk about it for fear of being called crazy and put in a psych ward.

That would be kind of scary, knowing that another version of yourself can take control over you and do whatever they want. I don't really know what would be my reaction if such a thing existed in real life, but I know life would be much more complicated.

Wow, that's kinda hard to answer. Gary comes to mind and all I can think of is I don't want to be him in any way. Michelle's and Sinead's fates are kinda different in some of the worldlines. Mostly if they were with Gary or just friends with him or have animosity with each other. If I knew this theory what would I do? I think I will be experimenting as innocently and as safely as I can without doing actions that will impact drastically any version of me. The real difference lies if your intent is good or bad. You have this freedom to choose so what will you do with that freedom.

I would not tell anyone about it directly. But, I would leave little hints for people around me and guide them to discover it for themselves. In this way, I think they will have a better understanding of the fact and also it won't cause them to disbelieve me.

If I was in the position of Gary, then that would really blow me off since I know the truth but none of the people around me is gonna believe me. I would be seen as a criminal as well as a psych. I really cant imagine how helpless I would be.

To be honest I can't imagine myself being in Gray's position. People would think that you are a serial killer psycho. If I were to be Gray I would also date Michelle in the other world

I actually didn't think of it that way. Lol. But you know your conscious would only be aware of a select few of those possibilities. The rest would be happening concurrently but you'd have no control over them. I suppose one would have to accept that they are happening even though they can't control all of the outcomes.

I honestly have no idea what I would do. My life is already only barely controlled chaos. Adding the many worlds theory to it is almost too much for me to wrap my head around.

If I knew this to be true I would worry about one of my other selves taking over my actions, but other than that I would try to live my life normally and be a good person. There is not much I could do about the actions of my other-selves.

Honestly, it's a boring answer, but I'd probably do nothing about it. Trying to do something about it or change the way I was living based on the parallel universes would stress me out way too much. It'd be best to just keep trying to live life to the fullest and pretend I didn't know, because ignorance is bliss (even if it's pretend ignorance!)

I want to be like Prof. Buzzard. Since I know not of people will believe me, I'll just pick one or two trustworthy people just like what Prof. Buzzard did. And since I'm afraid of people's critiques, this character will suit me better.
