Interesting post on identity:
When we speak about our identity I believe that we are referring to four different things: 1.) how we see ourselves as we relate to society around us, 2.) how we want others to see us, 3.) how others see us as we relate to society, and 4.) how we perceive others’ perceptions of who we are.

And there could be a fifth: What society thinks we *ought* to be. In other words, expectations.
