Identity crisis

When someone has been pressured to identify themselves, but is not yet self aware, by someone claiming to be an authority.

This often comes up with police trying to get your ID, school wanting to know about family and what you eat for breakfast, politics whating you to side with a party instead of refusing to get involved in party politics and be an issue based voter.

Not to be confused with sexualy orientation by way of identity, social identity in that how you look is not your identity but how other people precieve you and in turn treat you.

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."

Identity

The thing you are trying to both steal and obfuscate.
Hym "And when I say obfuscate I mean you are trying to obfuscate what constitutes my identity and then attribute to me (in explicit terms) one that I reject as a precedent to steal anything that could be used as evidence to refute this externally imposed identity."

Identity

Hym "Is it because people thought someone else was Hym or that I was someone else? My identity isn't the issue here. You don't dictate the extent to which I am or am not Hym. My identity doesn't alter that fact that you are trying to steal my time and my labour. And you don't get to tell me that because I'm using a pseudonym it somehow de-legitimizes the contributions I've made. My identity isn't the problem here. My behavior isn't the problem here. And if you don't stop YOUR behavior and reveal YOUR identity, I AM GOING TO MURDER SOMEONE'S CHILD. I DON'T CARE IF YOU DON'T GET IN TROUBLE BECAUSE I KNOW THAT DOING IT WILL GET AT LEAST ON OF YOU TO KILL YOURSELVES AND/OR TURN ON THE REST AND THAT WILL BE GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME.
