I often ask people to tell me who they are. To describe themselves, a conceptualization of their identity. I often hear I am an "honest", "caring", "kind", "empathic" etc. person. The fact is no one is ever these things all the time. When they act in a way that contradicts these positive ideals, it could cause internal stress and anxiety or even depression. This video discusses making such ideals something to strive for not to identify as or their identity will often be challenged. It is more about becoming.
