I've been uncomfortable dealing with my identity since I was 16 years old.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Everyone has an identity crisis when they are 16 or 17 years old.
I have struggled with identity all my life. It's not like something that just happened last week.
Throughout my life, I have grappled with my own identity, who I am. As a young child, I often felt ambivalent about myself, in fact, confused.
I changed my name when I was 13. I don't know why but it made sense at the time. I wanted another identity. I wanted to reinvent myself.
Identity has been such an explosive territory for me... so hard, so painful at times.
When I was 13 I had a fake Id that said that I was 19. I was getting in all the clubs.
I become very territorial about my identity because it's been hijacked by so many people with their own projections.
I have no issues with my identity.
I don't need to worry about identity theft because no one wants to be me.
I can't give up my own identity.
