I will take a guess.
Self - Has to do with your conception of you, your consciousness
Identity - How you believe others should perceive you

OK I'll take a stab. Self would be characteristics we're born with... like.. gender and different tendencies that make us who we are. Identity... Identity becomes Identity when we develop our "self" characteristics... So Identity could be influenced by self, and identity is kind of who we become. I promise this sounds much more organized in my head than it does when I try to explain ! Sorry!

Identity is a conformed and accepted self

In my opinion identity is the ego or your personality and the self is your soul. Your "self" is constant and never changes. I think that when people go through an "identity" crisis they are seeking their true "self".
Great question! I love questions that really make you think. :)

Your self - that part of you which you know more about than anyone else
Your identity - the part of you, portrayed to others, and which they know more about than you do

Identity - who you are
Self - What you are (inside)
