The way a person grows up, the experiences they go through, and the folks they interact with all play a part in shaping them. Life's influences can transform people, sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse. Situations they find themselves in, substances like alcohol or drugs, and once more, their life experiences, can sometimes lead them to behave out of character.

Hello, Casey !
Identity consists of the things that you hold to be valuable. It's also the messages that you tell yourself and that you get from other people.
Because people spend eight hours a day or more on their careers, yes, it is a huge part of their identity. It is a personality bond that they have developed to the connection of the outside world. One must be true to themselves about what they hold important and a person's identity has many roles such as contributor to society, family member, friend. The true identity is developed through life experience, on-going goals and a philosophy of life. There is also a spiritual identity for some people as well.
When people feel connected to something they can hold it as part of their identity. Sometimes these things do change as a person proceeds through life and sometimes they stay with the same personal identity forever. You can read some of the personal identity philosophers, such as John Locke or Roderick Chisholm which you can find through a search on line. I for one believe that we do carry our child identity into our adult identity to a certain extent. I always say, "We are who we are old as we were when we were young". You can form your own philosophy around identity by reading about it. I have left a link to an amusing video about personal identity so you can be inspired.
Best wishes in all you do !

James Constantine’s Answer
Dear Casey,
Every action we take is a reflection of who we are, not just to the world around us, but also to ourselves. When we see others as mere objects, we risk losing sight of their happiness and well-being. It becomes clear that individuals with narcissistic tendencies lack a deep sense of empathy. Their emotional maturity is comparable to that of a toddler, which can often lead to strained relationships, be it in marriage or friendship.
In my own life, I was deeply concerned about my relatives suffering from heart disease. This concern led me to pursue a career in dietetics and nutrition, with the goal of helping others. I even delved into the field of naturopathy, hoping to save my father from his heart condition. I realized that preventative nutrition was not just crucial for my family, but for countless others as well. This experience shaped my perspective and reinforced my dedication to helping others. I consider myself a giver, someone who genuinely cares about the happiness and well-being of others.
A peculiar incident occurred in 1986. As a student at a dietetics college, I presented a video on cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Just two weeks later, one of my fellow students was able to use this knowledge to save her father's life.
ADDENDUM
The autobiography at the end of the about James Constantine Frangos is about vitamins minerals protein fats and carbohydrate substances that the body requires and not extraneous things like saturated fat so this can really make you a more effective person through good human nutrition!
Take care,
James.
