Identity Crisis

When a human,

(socially-constructed to think of themselves as a separate individual from the rest of Life on Earth, and Reality),

questions their relation/position to other Humans, the rest of Life on Earth, and the Reality they perceive.

I used to think of myself as an individual, then had an identity crisis, and realised I am part of collectives... Many collectives... infinite collectives...!? Collectives across time...!?
Who am I!?

identity crisis

1. A psychological condition in which one is attempting to unify a subjective sense of self.
2. A sexual orientation conflict within one's self that has not been resolved.
3. A stage of psycho-neurological development, as in adolescence, where hormonal imbalances influence sociological and sexual choices (phase).

I really don't know if Kodie is gay, metro sexual, or just going through an identity crisis.

Identity crisis

When someone has been pressured to identify themselves, but is not yet self aware, by someone claiming to be an authority.

This often comes up with police trying to get your ID, school wanting to know about family and what you eat for breakfast, politics whating you to side with a party instead of refusing to get involved in party politics and be an issue based voter.

Not to be confused with sexualy orientation by way of identity, social identity in that how you look is not your identity but how other people precieve you and in turn treat you.

skank identity crisis

The crisis every skank eventually goes through in their life. Usually happens between the ages of 15 and 20. Said skank will abruptly up and leave their hometown to live with a distant relative (i.e. twice-removed aunt, sister's ex-boyfriend, etc) and "find themselves". The location is usually an obscure small town in a southern state, such as Oklahoma, Kansas, or Georgia. Usually happens following some semi-dramatic event which a normal person would deal with and move on. Skanks, however, can not just "deal" with situations, and must "escape" to cause even more drama. These crises are usually short-lived, and the skank will almost ALWAYS return within a few weeks.

"I'm so sick of this drama and bullshit! I'm moving in with my stepdad's sister in Oklahoma to figure some shit out."

Instagram Identity Crisis (I.I.C)

When you don't post on Instagram for long periods of time or constantly post and delete pictures because they don't go with your feed. Or you don't know what your next Instagram theme is gonna be.

Jack: I went with a black and white theme for insta because I'm going through an Instagram Identity Crisis (I.I.C) and can't think of a new aesthetic
