Well, think of it like. Let's say you want to drive a car, who are you? A driver.... And just like that You are a son, a daughter, a friend, a lover, a cook, someone hungry, ... Sometimes prey but mostly a predator......A REDDITOR... An employee, a business owner, a police man. Etc etc
In Gist.... We wear identities to function in this world like clothes jumping from one identity to another.
What happens when you are not wearing any! Completely naked. Who are you? No one!
Every identity makes its own noise in the head. You would never heard the silence.
Every identity has its own weight on our breathe. You would have never taken a more free breathe.
Just relax every muscle you can. Let the identities dissolve and underneath it's you.

I took a different meaning on this. If anyone battles with depression, anxiety, things like that, it's like a black cloud over your true self. In those times, you just want to feel normal, but you don't, and you hate it. You don't hate yourself, you just hate that you don't feel like what you consider the best version of yourself.

Okay! I want to add more it but i do not want to sound arrogant.
Anxiety and depression look like they have their own identity that is persistent. I looked it like that for years myself.
Eventually, i started to see them differently.
Adding on what I said before. We wear identities like clothes based on what is needed in the moment. What if I am not able to? 1) Either I do not have the energy to create an identity (that looks like depression) 2) I do not know what identity to create (instant panic, that looks like anxiety)
Different reasons, but result is the same. Unable to function to our potential.
