Who Am I on the inside?

Your external identity and your internal identity are deeply intertwined, but your internal identity has more to do with your thoughts, emotions, preferences, and personality, instead of your social groups. You may consider yourself to be “sensitive” or “tough” emotionally, for example. You may prefer to read a book instead of play soccer. You may consider yourself impulsive, or instead you may consider all your options carefully before making a decision.
