Studies showed that individuals who had been isolated from their familiar social and cultural environment, became neurotic. This shows that when those individuals had no object to identify their darker emotions with, they began to see these things in themselves that which they refused to recognize before, and were unaware of why they appeared and how to cope. Lilli, 1956; Grunebaum, 1960; Heran, 1953

What/Who do you identify with? Your job? Your family? Your country? Your car, friends, pets?

Who would you be on a deserted island? What would happen to your identity if you were in jail?

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.

Dr. Seuss
