Who Are You? I Don’t Know. It Seems I Have so Many Identities to tell
But too many identities make me feel like I have no identity at all
Who are you? I’m just I am.
But in the real world, this answer seems not considered valid. So what is the correct answer they expect? Tell them your name and continue with your profession. Are you a doctor? Are you a writer? Are you an engineer?
I always wonder why our occupation should be the most mentioned as self-identity. That is just the way we earn to survive. Who are you? I don’t know. It seems I have so many identities to tell. But too many identities make me feel like I have no identity at all.
The concept of identity encompasses a vast expanse. Even your name is a mere linguistic tool to summon your presence.
When I was a kid, some friends made fun of me because my parents came from different cities, even though we were still from the same country.
Sometimes the neighbors address my parents as “Mr.” and “Mrs.” followed by the name of the city they came from, which I find rude and inappropriate. Our ethnicity doesn’t define us as individuals, although it can influence external and physical aspects that contribute to our appearance.
