(Not the psychology of fangirling, the fangirling of psychology.)

I was reading Wikipedia's article about the Id, Ego, and Superego, when I came across this:

    "When the ego is personified, it is like a slave to three harsh masters: the id, the super-ego and the external world. It has to do its best to suit all three, thus is constantly feeling hemmed by the danger of causing discontent on two other sides. It is said however, that the ego seems to be more loyal to the id, preferring to gloss over the finer details of reality to minimize conflicts with the pretending to have a regard for reality. But the super-ego is constantly watching every one of the ego's moves and punishes it with feelings of guilt, anxiety, and inferiority."
Dude, the Ego is a freaking double agent.
