Identity is an umbrella term used throughout the social sciences for an individual's comprehension of him or herself as a discrete, separate entity. In cognitive psychology, for example, "identity" refers to the capacity for self-reflection and the awareness of self (see self-awareness).
The psychological idea of identity in humans is related to self image, namely a person's view or mental model of him or herself, usually known as their personal identity (see identity crisis and the work of Erik Erikson.)
Sociology recognizes the concept of identity negotiation where a person has multiple identities that relate to different aspects of their life and personality and "negotiates" with society as to the meaning of that identity in their life.
Self-concept or self-identity is the mental and conceptual awareness and persistent regard that sentient beings hold with regard to their own being.
Components of a being's self-concept include physical, psychological, and social attributes; and can be influenced by its attitudes, habits, beliefs and ideas. These components and attributes can each be condensed to the general concepts of self-image and the self-esteem.

I am the only one in this Universe with this set of DNA sequence.
When you look into my eyes you know that I am a child of God.
He knows me although there exist and have existed billions of human beings on earth.
I am a servant of my Lord Jesus Christ.
That is my identity.

Who you are in every way shape and form. What you do, what/who you like, how you act, every thing that makes you, you. Even your sexual orientation, religion, it's endless.
