Identity

You don't actually have one, Alex. You have a gender role.
Hym "Your 'Identity' is literally you acting out a role. And now you've created this false dichotomy between doing the gender role and not having an identity. Additionally, people who are higher in trait openness are going to be more fluid in their personality. So you're contradicting the personality literature. That isn't 'not having an identity" it's 'being high in trait openness.' So, that's ridiculous. Are women reliably higher in trait openness? They're reliably more liberal. And liberalism is associated with being higher in trait openness (if I'm remembering correctly). So.... Yeah, that tracks. They're doing it right, I guess. Yeah, no, you lost me at no tattoos. I'm just not going to do that."

Vanity Identities

Self-Love. A healthy high ego.
It gets mistaken for arrogance.

Bootleg Vanity - if you really like how you look, but you don’t take it seriously and it’s light-hearted. Then your friends know you’re bullshitting them they just do whatever, but they’re cool about it.

High-End Vanity - a healthy selfish. Putting yourself before others to do what's best for you.

Vanity - the mirror thing where you want to kiss yourself and you actually mean it.

It can fluctuate, change and/or evolve over time.
I'm a hybrid Bootleg-High-End Vanity,

Identity-giving

Treating someone in certain ways to give them an identity that is better or worse than the one they have.
An example of identity-giving is when one day, someone treats someone else as if they were a genius, then on another day that person treats the person in ways that say that person is fool.

Identity Giving

IDENTITY GIVING
Telling a person who or what they are or also treating them in certain ways to improve or deteriorate their identity and get them to do or not do something.
Some religions tell their followers they are "sinners"; other religions tell their followers they are "the chosen." Compliments such as "you are the best," or insults such as "you are a fucking idiot" are also examples of "identity giving".

Bland Identity

When someone/a company creates a new brand identity and it is boring and blah (bland) - doesn't do anything for the brand and is pretty much worse than the brand was to begin with.
Customer 1: Did you notice the new logo for that computer store.
Customer 2: Yeah man, but it's boring. They didn't do anything to it. All they did was get themselves a new bland identity. They'll go under in a month.

Urban Identity Fraud

A definition post on the site Urban Dictionary, that's subject is to define the name of someone and their characteristics when they are not a personality or famous in any way. Usually regarding the name of an individual known by posters or poster locally or through friendship.

Urban Identity Frauds can also be individuals posting definitions consisting of another person and their characteristics, usually without consent.
Urban Identity Frauds' definitions can be misleading to others with the same name in the post. The person may identify with the definition and apply characteristics to themselves, skewing their perception of themselves and reality.

:O That's deep.

Identity-giving

Treating someone in certain ways to give them an identity that is better or worse than the one they have.
After people's appearance, the next thing that comes into play when they interact is the identity each person has of themselves. As they interact, people project their identity and in subtle ways, verbally or nonverbally, others accept or reject it, and sometimes they attempt to give the other person the identity they think they should have of themselves, and that identity can be better or worse than the one the person has of themselves. An example of identity-giving is when one day, someone treats someone else as if they were a genius.
