Does the letter 'Y' have a complex from only being a part time vowel?

It seems more likely to me if the letter "Y" has any type of complex it stems from an existential angst brought on by an innate, interminable compulsion to ask the unanswerable question, "Y?" But, I believe there are other letters of the alphabet with much more serious issues. Take, for example, the ego-centric, self-absorbed letter, " I ". Even though the " I " is all-seeing, it takes little notice of "U" or anything else but itself. The letter "B" is stung because it is the only one named for an insect. The letter "C" is nothing more than a spineless doormat in all of the Spanish-speaking world; it is frazzled and overworked because it says "yes" to everything and everyone. The letter "G" must be blonde - naive and gullible, it responds with surprised incredulity to whatever it is told. Every story, however implausible, is simply accepted by the innocent "G". The most annoying letter is "R" - ever since Pirates of the Caribbean, it has not stopped pretending to be a pirate. But, the most shame and injustice has been reserved for the poorest, most abused alpha-numeric character next to the number 2 and that would be the letter P. I mean, c'mon, wouldn't your life be a mess if your name was a common euphemism for urine?!
