2. What is Identity? Largely about answering the question “Who am I?”
Identity may be defined as:
the distinguishing character or personality of an individual
who someone is : the name of a person
the qualities, beliefs, etc., that make a particular person or group different from others

3. What forms Our Identity?
Our identity is first formed by
Internalizing our parents’ values
Dominant culture
But it can be influenced/molded by our own
Beliefs and values
Choices in life (relationships, career, etc.)

4. Can I Change My Identity?
Although there is evidence that aspects of our identity are rooted in genetics, yes, it is possible to change who you are.
You DO have some control over how you are perceived by others.
Your actions DO play a large role in determining who you are.

5. Identity Crisis?
We all have multiple identities – son, daughter, sister, brother, student, athlete, friend, boyfriend, girlfriend…and each role demands something different from us.
An identity crisis can occur when the values imposed on us (e.g., from our families) or our chosen/forced roles in life (e.g., college student) don’t match our authentic selves. This can lead to feelings of being unfulfilled, anxious, depressed, or angry.

6. So How Do I Figure Out Who I Am?
Psychologists believe that we are able to find (and live) our true identities when we:
Discover and develop our potential (what do you do best?)
We accomplish this through trial and error!
Choose an authentic purpose in life
This has to match our true talents and skills!
Be ourselves! Don’t misrepresent ourselves to others.
It’s unnatural, exhausting, and creates self-doubt!
