For SOCCOMP - This is my STORY

Identity has been defined as people's concepts of who they are, of what sort of people they are, and how they relate to others. Moreover, it refers to the ways in which individuals and collectivities are distinguished in their social relations with other individuals and collectivities. With these statements, It is clear that there are many ways to define what identity is. In your own words, what is identity to you?

In my opinion, Identity is similar to a Developing Character of a story. You are either the Protagonist or the Antagonist. In other words, I, Me, and You are the STORY. We create our own story. We are the developing character because as time progress we change. We change our preferences, likes, dislikes, etc. Moreover, we establish ourselves as a unique individual. We let our self be exposed to the real world thus enabling us to connect with our peers. We are either the protagonist or the antagonist because this is how people perceives us. We build our reputation on how we act around others. How people react to our behavior and actions thru conversation and sharing also known as "social exchange". This shows people who and what I am made of.

What is important is that we know who we are, what we are made of, and how we relate to others. We are unique individuals. Do not let other people define who you are. As I have said before, we are the developing characters. We are the STORY.
