Self-identity

Self-identity refers to how individuals perceive and define themselves, encompassing their unique characteristics, qualities, and abilities. It answers the fundamental question: "Who am I?" This self-perception is shaped by various factors, including personal experiences, social roles, and cultural background. A well-defined self-identity contributes to a stable sense of self, guiding behavior and decision-making. Conversely, a diffused or unclear self-identity can lead to confusion and lower self-esteem. Understanding and developing one's self-identity is crucial for personal growth and mental well-being.
