 self-identity?
I’d define the term as more as a combination of somebody’s personality and how
they act and think when not consciously trying to act differently. For
example, at work you might inhibit some of your normal characteristics and be
more serious, or act nice to people you don’t really like when you might not
do that normally.

I think people can do that to such an extent that’s it’s possible that they
could be deluded as to the nature of their “true” self, thinking themselves,
say, kinder, or more competent in certain areas, or less racist than they
actually are when their guard is down. Sometimes you need someone else or some
experience to realise you didn’t really know yourself!

I think current state is part of it - for example, people might become more
cynical over time through their life not going the way they want. Things like
that can gradually become part of the “real you” without you noticing.

This article is about how personality is shaped by memory, and how flawed
memory is. I'd say that definition is fairly close to the one used in the
article, and there being no "real self" supports the shift over time and need
for outside views that you have noticed.

I'm fairly self conscious of the fact that I am at least 3 or 4 different
people.

My "work" personality is a completely different one to my "Home" personality.

and My Online and internal personalities are all different people as well.

which one is the real me? _shrug_ they're all real, just used for different
purposes. I'm fairly sure I'm not unique in this, but then I suspect I'm
better at compartmentalising than most others so maybe I am.

 I ’d define the term as more as a combination of somebody ’s personality and how 
 they act and remember when not consciously try to act differently. For 
 case, at study you might inhibit some of your normal characteristics and be 
 more dangerous, or act nice to citizenry you do n’t really like when you might not 
 practice that normally. 

 I think people can act that to such an extent that ’s it ’s potential that they 
 could be deluded as to the nature of their “ true ” self, think themselves, 
 say, kinder, or more competent in sealed areas, or less racist than they 
 actually are when their guard is down. Sometimes you need someone else or some

fould be deoudeq as to the nxture of their “true” semf, thinking themselves,
