  Try living for fifty years without the natural ability to maintain an identity that others enjoy and then tell me its overrated.

    This magical ability to “maintain an identity” you speak of, is not a real thing that exist.

      Actually, identity is a real thing that people depend on to exist as social creatures in a social universe. It can be disrupted by personality disorders. Be grateful you don’t even know what the fuck I am talking about.
