Self Concept or Identity

Don’t confuse who your are with what you do.

Robbie Steinhouse explains how your self-concept or identity is created in infant-hood. Later on people define themselves by their job, ‘I am an x’ (accountant, pilot, journalist etc). Often an association between a childhood impulse to survive is mixed up with the ending of a job role, the ending of a job can inspire such fear in people due to identity confusion.
