A diagnosis that a psychiatrist or therapist gives to a patient. It basically states that the personality is fractured into several distinct parts that behave differently from the original personality. It was once known as multiple personality disorder but psychiatrists changed the term to dissociative identity disorder because they realized they had no clue what they were doing and had to come up with something new and exciting since they were getting paid. Mental health professionals give this diagnosis so they can feel important and special since this disorder is glamorized in the movies. The patient unconsciously wants to please the therapist and read up on the symptoms to present to them. Both therapist and patient feed off each other. Often the patient will get the blame as attention seeking when really it's the therapist that's at fault but gets off the hook because they are the professionals. You will find all patients that enter therapy never had a clue they had the disorder until the therapist told them. It is a therapy induced disorder and will disappear once the patient leaves therapy. But it will reemerge once the patient returns. Plain and simple. From that point forward patients will be confused when something bad happens to them because they will think one of their personalities did it. They will lose all sense of who they are.
Since Julie was diagnosed with dissociative identity disorder her life has been in ruins because she has lost her sense of identity.

"Identity Superposition" is the concept that one's sense of self is not fixed but exists in a state of uncertainty, influenced by internal and external factors. Similar to Schrödinger's cat being both alive and dead until observed, personal identity is in a superposition of possibilities until experienced.
For example, imagine a person who feels confident and outgoing in social situations but introspective and reserved when alone. Their identity is fluid, shifting between these states depending on the context. This fluidity reflects the idea of existing in a superposition of identities until observed or experienced by themselves or others.

John's experience of "Identity Superposition" became evident when he noticed how he felt like a completely different person at work, where he was assertive and authoritative, compared to when he was with his close friends, where he became more relaxed and playful.

The act of abusing the well-known and "automatically accepted" concept of identity theft (whereby a nameless criminal commits a crime and makes it appear that an innocent person did it) by falsely mentioning it to hopefully avert suspicion of criminal involvement --- the accused person does indeed commit one or more crimes himself, but then when questioned by authorities, the culprit claims to merely be an innocent ID-theft victim, and that somebody else must have committed the crimes in his name.
John claims that while he was golfing with his buddies, someone snuck into his car and used his laptop to send smutty e-mail messages. But I know what an "in the gutter" mindset he has, so I suspect that he's just hiding behind reverse identity theft.

After graduating from college, it was clear to her friends that Karen had been identity washing herself; she would become enraged if you disagreed with her.

An Identity lifestyle is similar to a gender or sexual identity, but for one's lifestyle. Is typically something the 'common' person doesn't engage in as a lifestyle and is not considered or accepted as a culture by the masses (this does NOT include harmful or illegal hobbies, interests, etc). It becomes an identity when you decide to embrace it as a part of who you are and how you live. It can be something you decide to be as (one or more of) your identity lifestyle(s), or something you feel you were called to/born for/etc. Examples of things that could/should be considered under the identity lifestyle umbrella can be: The furry community, Witchcraft/Wicca community, Kin community, Age regression community, and so forth.
Kelly: Hey Sam, I heard from your boyfriend that you came out with your lifestyle identity last week.

Kelly: I'm happy for you! I discovered my lifestyle identity last year, I've never felt so in touch with myself.
