What is Identity?

“the fact of being who or what a person or thing is”

A persons identity reviles around the question “Who am I?”. Every person goes through the difficult challenge at some point in their lives of answering this vital and important question of which has no correct answer and no two answers the same. Our identity is shaped and crafted throughout our life’s by the people we surround ourselves with and the experiences we have. An identity never stops changing and growing at any point in a persons life, new experiences change who a person is at all points in throughout their life.

People can overly concern themselves with the impression they make can have a much harder time figuring out who they are whereas people who don’t care usually have a much easier time discovering who they are.

The largest part of a persons identity in modern society is sexuality and gender. Many people have a hard time discovering who they are as they are yet to discover their sexuality and once they figure it out nowadays even though much more acceptable than in the 20th century society still makes it every difficult for a person to reveal them true selves.
