Conversely, people usually go through profound behavioral transformations several times in their lives. Does that mean they are not "themselves" anymore?

- aato 9y agoVery broadly speaking, I would say yes. Again this is just my take, but I argue that different sets of behaviours are indicative of different identities. For example, at work I may keep to myself and be very quiet - in that setting my actions would define me as an introvert. With my friends I may be more outgoing and talkative, which is more characteristic of an extrovert. So I have two identities depending on my behaviour. I am not my introverted self when with friends, and not my extroverted self when at work.
