Why do we talk about identity so much? How do you relate to people the most? Is there a certain technique that you use to get to know others?

We talk about identity because everyone knows they haven't found theirs. I know people assume they do, but I believe no one has really found who they really are. It's like the purpose of life, no one really knows, we all assume we do but we don't. We like to find comfort in assuming we do.
A technique I use to get know others is humor. A lot of people can't take it either which is sad. That's how I know if they will be able to handle me and my outspoken personality.

We talk about identity so much because its constanntly around us.I'm not one of those people who believe in identity crisis.I really don't no why thats just me.I think that for the most part people just need to accept who they are and stop thinking so much about the next person.
For the most part when I meet people and they think that I'm a spoiled stuck up kid.You have to remember that your only sdeeing one side of a person.So when I meet new people I look for honesty and consistency.You can't be one way today and then tomorrow your someone completely new,thats fake.It's sad but thats how you can wings out the negative people in your surroundings.This technique works really well for me I use it in life daily.I must say that it hasn't proved me wrong yet.
You will be tested daily with people who want you to be like them,or talk like them .Whatever the case may be you just have to stand srong in who you are.

I think our "identity" is the only thing we really have to live by.
I relate to people a lot through music and common interests. I'm not really that good at relating with people because I'm really bad at socializing with others I think.

We talk about identity because most people want to find or be a certain way and their not comfortable with theirselves. I relate to people that's some what like me but could also get along well and honest. I try to get to know people that's willing to get to know that other person. This is a technique I use to see who I could relate to and notice the ones that would stab me in the back later.
