ID Your Ego I See
Short Story: ID, Ego, and Superego
After school ID, Ego, and Superego went to one of their houses to hang out and play video games to start off their weekend. Today Ego was having ID and Superego over, he had just bought the new FIFA game and was excited to beat his friends and finally show them that he was better. ID was acting strange again though he obviously needed or wanted something, probably food but Ego wasn’t sure so he tried to distract him. ID eventually spoke up and said that he really needed to have some food before he got upset. All three went into the kitchen and made mini pizzas and ID finally began to relax. Typically he gets really worked up and tense when he needs something but sometimes he struggles vocally asking for it and instead just images the food or thing he wants in order to resolve the tension he created. Ego is always best when ID acts like this, he always tells ID that he can have food and that it is something that is easily tangible. Often times Ego operates on a reality principle, which is when he finds a way to satisfy his desires in a realistic and socially appropriate way. Ego tells his two friends to come downstairs and they can play his new games before dinner. Ego acts Superego if he wants to play Call of Duty but he refuses because he doesn’t think that game is morally okay. He thinks that his mom would be really disappointed if he played Call of Duty and he would probably get punished for breaking her rules. Instead they all settle down and play FIFA 2013. Ego gets mad that Superego feels that he is playing inappropriate and he begins to say that Superego is just jealous and mad that he has the newest Call of Duty game and that he is afraid of losing. Ego is demonstrating a defense mechanism called projection where Ego may be feeling anxiety after Superego says his mom would be mad if they played it and instead he says rude and unpleasant things towards him.
