Identity Crisis

[DearReader]

Deep inside, if that exists, I think we all have an idea of who we are. On the outside, we are interpreted differently. We are judged by the images people create of us. But if no one recognises who we are, can we claim to be that person? And if we can, then surely we'll suffer the loneliness of that opinion. So what truly defines us? Can we define ourselves?
I'm hoping the answer is yes, but I don't want to suffer the loneliness of that idea.

So I just looked up the definition of identity, and interestingly I find it quite ambiguous: 'the condition or character as to who a person or what a thing is.' But who exactly are we? I think it is so incredibly complicated to define ourselves because there's so much That makes up our identity. If nobody recognised who were I think we could definitely still claim ourselves to be the same person. Our identity remains the same because it's who we see ourselves as. I think identity is a lot about self reflection, it's about who we define ourselves as and why. When we are young we're still growing and developing, learning about our backgrounds and ancestors and cultures, gaining personality traits so we slowly discover our identity. But there are some people who are lost and in identity crisis, it's not easy shaping an idea of who we are and what made us the people we become. I think by the time we die we have at least a pretty satisfying grasp of who we are.

It is possible for numerous identifications to exist simultaneously.

However the only one that is important is the one being maintained as 'true' by the groups we interact with. Otherwise, unless an idea holds hegemony, it is meaningless.

Do you mean impersonations? And personality disorders?

I meant that a number of l(sometimes contradictory) abels can exist for a person at the same time.
