Definitions:

Self-Identity

The way you characterize yourself, either in general (as a human being, as a man or woman, as a creature before God, or as one among many animals)—or in particular (as the person who can run the fastest mile, as an all-C student, or as the worst-dressed slob in your class). Self-identity of a person, in other words, is not merely the same as the identity of a “thing"—for example, the identity of a human body. It is a question of “who,” not only “what,” I am.
