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.

Get the Identity-givingmug. I couldn't decide what to listen to. I started w/ ska, went to pop punk, 90s country, the soundtrack to Dear Evan Hansen, and finally settled on early 2000s Taylor Swift. I was having a full blown musical identity crisis.

Get the musical identity crisismug. 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.
Sam: Yeah, recently I discovered that my lifestyle identity is Wicca.
Kelly: I'm happy for you! I discovered my lifestyle identity last year, I've never felt so in touch with myself.

Get the Lifestyle Identitymug. 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.

Get the Bland Identitymug. 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.

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".
