[quote=Anonymous]Everybody has something that they ground their identities in and find security in. For some people, it's achievement related to work, prestige related to college, the value of a title or organization... some people ground their identities more in how they are viewed as a parent, how they are viewed as a spouse... And you know what it is, because you are quick to take offense when someone even remotely implies you are not who you think you are, or you feel like your world is turned upside down if something is challenging that identity, or you're very deeply pleased with yourself when someone recognizes your chosen identity, and you don't know how to turn it off.

I don't know if you might be a believer in God but I found this book to be very helpful in revealing my own issues and why I'm so prone to caring so much about how I'm perceived at work and finding peace in a deeper sense of security outside of that. It's changed my world view. https://www.amazon.com/Search-Significance-Seeing-Worth-Through/dp/0849944244 [/quote]
