I gotta tell you about someone named V. I have been friends with V for years. K. Many have warned me against it, but I just took her for who she was, I like different people. V is really insecure, she has no self-esteem and is very emotional. You know one of those people that cries all the fucking time. She's also very selfish and materialstic sometimes. I was always pretty good at coping with her insecurities, but shit I can only take so much!! There is this stage in Erik Erikson's psychosocial theory of development called Identity v. Mis-Identy. This stage is plastic (just because you will always add and discard some things), but the basic identity you've chosen is mostly concrete. She is the second, she missed that vital stage during puberty and on, where you explore different social roles and regs till you pretty much find out who you are and what you stand for. So instead she attempts to take from other peoples identity. It's really fucking annoying. V has trouble trusting because she can't trust herself. She has trouble dealing with her own insecurities and infidelities, so she takes it out on the people around her. V is also one of those people that puts everybody else down to make herself feel better, but never realizes how insecure and rediculous she looks doing it. V has some very good points too, don't get me wrong, but their is a time when you have to weigh the good to the bad. The bad in her has fucking beat the shit out of the good. It's sad really.
